Teacher Training Through Video: ESL Techniques (K. Lynn Savage, Series Editor) shows teachers, trainers, and trainees how to design effective ESL lessons and use specific techniques in the classroom. Each segment features the goals, principles, and multiple models of a technique. It also demonstrates how to transfer the skills to the classroom.
The two DVDs in this program consist of digitally enhanced versions of the classic teacher-training video series Teacher Training Through Video.
The DVDs include twelve complete teacher-training segments that reflect an ecletc approach to language teaching. They include: Lesson Planning, Total Physical Response, Early Production, Language Experience, Beginning Literacy, Dialogue/Drill, Information Gap, Focused Listening, Role Play, Problem Solving, Life Skills Reading, and Narrative Reading.
Teacher Training Through Video was originally developed by the ESL Teacher Institute (Association of California School Administrators, Foundation for Educational Assessment) under a contract from the California Department of Education. The program has been used successfully with teachers of adults in ESL and ABE programs, university-level ESL certificiate and Master's programs, and also with teachers of languages other than ESL.
