Trainer Manual

Trainee Workbook 

​This Trainer Handbook contains 24 experiential and reflective workshops for enriching the knowledge and skills of pre- and in-service EFL teachers.
Each workshop provides:

• extensive trainer notes – the trainer is the fount of knowledge, not the handout
• space for trainers to integrate their own thinking and resources 
• a series of tasks 
• discussion and reflection topics
• photocopiable workshop handouts 
• links to the accompanying webpages at  with pdfs and links to related sites, pictures and videos.

Topics include Meeting and greeting, Starting and finishing courses, Information and knowledge, Reflection, About CLT, Classroom language, Homework, Criterion Referenced Assessment, Tasks, Eliciting, Skills and Systems, Eliciting, Concept Checking, Bloom's Taxonomy.

The accompanying Trainees' Workbook is a booklet of all the photocopiable handouts with texts, charts, diagrams and links for the hundreds of task that trainees undertake in the session. The Trainer book contains a great deal of space for notes and elaboration. There are plenty of blank pages at the back for reflection, as is much recommended. This allows trainees to keep all their work between two covers.
