How To Write Teacher's Books

By Mike Sayer and Ros Wright

Between them, Mike Sayer and Ros Wright have written numerous Teacher’s Books, so who better to demystify the process? In this module the role of the Teacher’s Book writer is examined, along with a detailed breakdown of all the essential elements that need to be included in an excellent Teacher’s Book. The importance of a good Teacher’s Book shouldn’t be underestimated – it’s the key to successful delivery of the student’s material, effective classroom management, and much more.
Ros brings her experience of writing ESP Teacher’s Books, and breaks down the additional requirements for teaching situations where the teacher might not be a content expert in the students’ field of work or study.
As with all the ELT Teacher 2 Writer modules, this ebook includes tasks, commentaries and a glossary of terms.
This module forms part of the ELT Teacher 2 Writer training course. The training modules are designed to help you write better ELT materials, either for publication, or simply to improve the quality of your self-produced classroom materials.
