The language teacher's handbook. Volume 1.: Increasing implication and motivation in one-to-one teaching (The language teacher's handbooks)

The one-to-one language trainer's gem. In this in-depth yet easy-access guide, The Language Teacher's Handbook takes the wooliness out of language learning objectives, empowering them to reach their goals with greatly enhanced implication. It solves the biggest problems that any one-to-one language trainer has, including: • how to turn around the trainees that are just not making progress, • how to re-motivate, • how to get trainees to become responsible for their own progress and work outside classes, • how the trainer can set themselves up for their own frustration-free success in training. Not only is the reader stimulated by a highly-effective and cutting-edge methodology, but they get to see their trainees succeed time and again – for real.

Information can be found anywhere; teachers are no longer the providers of information, they must be facilitators and motivators, help others find their vocation and their talent."
