Review: Must-have teaching manual - The best teaching manual I have ever found (and I have many). Easy to read. Brilliant lessons. Geared toward in-person lessons but some ideas can be useful for online lessons as well.
Review: Most useful resource I've used for my ESL students! - My husband and I retired from telecommunications and moved to rural New Mexico. We signed up as volunteer tutors at the local literacy program, took the required training, and began our new careers shortly thereafter. We soon learned that our training didn't completely prepare us for teaching the complexities of English to our adult (mostly ESL) students. For me, drills and roleplays are my least favorite ways of learning, and up to now, I've avoided employing them in the classes I teach. About a month or so ago, one of our fellow tutors lent me her copy of "The Ultimate ESL Teaching Manual". I was so impressed with the step-by-step process Ms. Jones outlines in her book that I ordered my own copy. I began using it, and the shift in student attention and engagement was palpable! The drills and roleplay suggestions were just what I needed. I highly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good guide overall for ESL teachers...
*by K***N on August 16, 2017*

I've been tutoring ESL students for a while now and toying with the idea of teaching my own ESL classes, too. I purchased this book as a reference guide so I could see how other ESL teachers and experts present grammar lessons to their students. I find that this book teaches grammar in a very interesting order, one that is different from how I would normally teach it. I will have to try out the book's order for myself to see if it helps at all with student progress. The explanations for each grammar topic and the class discussion ideas are useful, and I shall implement some of these ideas alongside the workbook materials and flashcards that I have. Overall, this book is filled with valuable information for any ESL teacher, whether it is one who is new to teaching or one who wants to freshen up their teaching method. My only complaint is that there are typos and errors in this book that are frustrating for me as an English teacher to see, such as missing commas, lack of indentations, and lack of proper spacing between paragraphs/ideas, which reduced sentence fluency and made the writing look chaotic. There were also charts that are half on one page and half on another. Readers need to be able to view charts as a whole, they shouldn't have to flip between pages to see the information. One example of a concerning typo was when the author referred to the first letter of a noun as a "constant" rather than a "consonant." I do hope a second edition is published that has been significantly proofread and updated so that the information is easier to digest, because it IS good information!
