This book has been specially written in response to the demand for a practical guide to the teaching of English language at primary school level. The text will be of particular use to those in training colleges and universities who are preparing to become teachers of English as a second or foreign language.

The authors' particular concern throughout has been to provide a realistic and workable approach to the problems that may be faced in the classroom. Limited resources, slow-learning pupils and the problems of keeping drills stimulating and interesting are typical of the difficulties faced by teachers. Teaching Primary English offers both new and tried strategies for use in the classroom; these are solutions based upon a knowledge and understanding of language teaching in many different situations.

Each chapter is supplemented by a number of suggestions for individual and group activities. Practical exercises and discussion techniques are recommended and there is a list of further reading.

Teaching Primary English will be great value to students in training and will form a workable handbook of ideas that will be of continuing use to new and experienced teachers alike.
