It offers educators practical and in-depth approaches to setting-up a successful ESL classroom, navigates the challenges of motivating and interacting with students, and provides proven research-based instructional techniques for students of all different language abilities.
The focus in this book is on understanding and adjusting to students' needs and motivations. Accordingly you will follow case studies of four students who live and are educated in different parts of the world as they progress through the successive stages of proficiency in English. As you journey with each of the students, you will be provided with the tools in which to help them. This includes lesson planning templates, sample lesson plans, activities and much more.
Furthermore, you will learn how the human brain goes through the process of recognising auditory stimuli as language, and how a child's brain assimilates language.
WHAT'S IN THE LESSON PLANS?
Each lesson plan contains the lesson topic, learning objective, assessment strategies, detailed exercises and lessons, materials, and how to apply what the student has learned. There are ready-made lesson plans for essay writing, debating, current affairs, dialogue, role-plays, reporting, history, persuasive techniques and psychology to name a few. Be secure in the knowledge that your students will be getting the speaking, listening, reading, and writing practice that they need. The lessons can be tailored to fit your students' individual or the classes collective needs, which will give you the confidence that they will always be receiving the best possible language instruction.
Be the best teacher that you can be and find that deep desire to share knowledge as an educator. Use and apply what you will learn in this book to make a lasting impact on the students and have the goal of making a difference, no matter how small it might be. A well-prepared lesson plan is crucial to your role as a teacher. This book will guarantee that you gain an in-depth grasp on what an effective lesson plan is, and how to create your own exemplary lesson plans for many years to come.

Preface
So you’ve decided to embark on a career as an ESL teacher. Before you get started there are quite a few things you need to know about your classroom, your students, and how to create helpful and educational lesson plans for them.
Learning a new language at any age can be hard. You have to adapt to the new pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling, and so on.

With each language you acquire you burn new paths through the brain, in effect rewiring the lines of communication that are available to you. During childhood—neurons are live and active—and fire at full capacity. After the age of 12 however, much of that enormous capacity that is no longer in use, is killed.

Particularly remarkable is that they do not muddle vocabulary sets, or grammar rules between learning multiple languages in comprehending what they hear or in speaking. After the age of 12, the path to proficiency in a new language becomes tortuous. The reality for most of us is that we will only gain proficiency in a new language if we need it. Need is a powerful motivator. The challenges and frustrations of the learning curve are voluminous. But, the rewards are correspondingly great. Developing your brain by rekindling the sparks across otherwise dormant synapses actually makes you smarter. There will be more about that in the chapter Rewiring the Lines
. At any age, from any existing system of communication, if you have the ability to hear and to form articulate sounds then you have the capacity to acquire proficiency
