The ESOL Teaching Skills (ETS) TaskBook is a professional development resource comprising 40 stand-alone tasks that focus on different aspects of teaching English to speakers of other languages.
The ETS TaskBook is a flexible resource that allows organisations to provide their teachers with practical professional development opportunities.
The ETS TaskBook is suitable for English language teachers in a variety of contexts. For pre-service or less experienced teachers, it may be a way of gaining a deeper understanding of ESOL teaching methodology. For more experienced teachers, it may act as a useful refresher and springboard for further study.
