The complexities of teaching english as a second language to those newly arrived in Canada are addressed in this book with insight and humour. Brian Morgan draws extensively on his own teaching experience in Canada and China to re-investigate the nature and aims of ESL teaching and to formulate some approaches to becoming a more effective ESL teacher.
Morgan's central principle is that ESL theories, materials, and approaches must be formulated around the social, political, and cultural conditions of each group of students. He stresses the importance of finding subject matter that will provide meaningful content in lessons, suggesting that discussion topics such as ecology, gender roles, changing social identity, and employment equity are often valid and appropriate for immigrant groups. Written for teachers by a teacher, the book includes lesson plans, examples of students' work, and vivid anecdotes of teaching incidents, presenting an important new perspective on ESL teaching.
