Song lyric websites abound, yet this ESL music website is different. Created and developed by a researcher and expert on the topic, this website provides teachers with the direction they need to use music in the most effective way in the ESL classroom. According to the research, music is capable of accelerating language acquisition, but only if certain principles are used. The website contains pedagogically-sound lesson plans written by one who understands the intricacies of using music for second language purposes, and knows how to tap this valuable resource. Teachers can download lessons as well as research study findings and other articles that support its use in the ESL classroom. The new bookstore spotlights a book of ESL music lesson activities and CD that teachers can use to help their students master English irregular verbs through music. It is the place to come if teacher's want to know exactly how to use music to accelerate the language acquisition process.

Book by Richard MacAndrew and Ron Martinez, LTP, ISBN 1 899396 41 1

An ELT dictionary that is more than just a reference book, Thornbury's An A-Z of ELT is practical, readable and an excellent addition to the collection of any ESL/EFL teacher.

Games for Grammar Practice by Maria Lucia Zaorob and Elizabeth Chin. Yet another book of photocopiable games and activities for classroom use at all levels, very useful and complete with user-friendly instructions. It's true that there are now quite a number of these books readily available in the EFL marketplace, but this is still a very useful addition to the EFL resources bookshelf. There is very little duplication of previously published material, and it is laid out in a very easily accessible and easy to use format. Reviewed by Kaithe Greene.

A book about using literature as a resource for teaching English as a foreign language. The book includes over 50 activities, most of which come with a sample text that can be used in class.

An excellent niche English dictionary for business professionals and MBA students.

This is not a new book, as it was first published in 1994, but when we consider that it includes extracts from literature up to 300 years old that doesn’t seem important. What is different about this book is that it contains unabridged and unsimplified extracts from a wide range of classical texts such as Robinson Crusoe, Great Expectations and Rebecca. Having infrequently, but on a number of occasions, come across students who want to study, or at least read, some classic literature this book seems like a good idea... Reviewed by Kaithe Greene.

A collection of drama-based speaking activities to stimulate interaction in the classroom through imaginative language practice; ideal for large group classes.

This is a handbook designed for busy teachers in a large multilevel class context. It contains a number of activities especially created to deal with all the difficulties of such a context, and at the same time to gain most benefit from the advantages. Even though the book is particularly advisable for those teachers approaching large multilevel classes, many activities can be successfully used also in smaller and more homogeneous classes. As one of the principles promoted by the author is open-endedness, most activities are easily adaptable to different class sizes and levels, and they often lead on to follow-ups and add-ons. Reviewed by Michela Gronchi.

Very well written and practical "how to" approach to English teaching.

Using the Board in the Language Classroom, part of the series Cambridge Handbooks for Language teachers, is directed at helping teachers use the board in a more motivating and effective way. It contains a wide variety of activities for every level. These activities promote students’ learning from one another, cultural knowledge and kinaesthetic learning methods, and give many ways of practising listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. In Using the Board in the Language Classroom Dobbs shares her experience as a teacher with other EFL/ESL colleagues. She says, "Feel free to think of your board as any kind of visual space you want it to be … you may want to think of it the way an artist thinks of a canvas or the way a movie director thinks of a screen..."
