MIDLOTHIAN, Va. (MMD Newswire) August 16, 2011 - - As an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher for more than a decade, Marjorie Kramer has used dozens of ESL texts. In "Charting New Territory in ESL: What You Wish Your ESL Book Included" (ISBN 1460987306), Kramer covers materials rarely addressed in other ESL books.
Kramer offers original techniques and ideas that she has used with students. The cornerstone of her teachings, her original method of "Sentence Builders," lays out easy-to-follow rules for the correct formation of statements and questions. She includes philosophical advice on building student trust in sections such as "The Hardest Part of Teaching" and "The Art of Choosing Groups." She also offers step-by-step instructions in areas such as "How to Teach the Alphabet," "Teaching Pronunciation" and "The Disappearing Chart." Including fun techniques like "Tic Tac Toe Verb Practice" and "The Alphabetizing Game" assists in further engaging students.
"I hope that ESL teachers will welcome my direct style and want to incorporate my ideas in their own classrooms," Kramer says.
Kramer wants her work to aid teachers in streamlining, simplifying and improving the way they teach ESL. She believes that her innovative techniques and crystal-clear instructions will bring fresh enthusiasm to both teachers and students.
"Charting New Territory in ESL: What You Wish Your ESL Book Included" is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other sites.
