Ebook: TESOL Made Practical For All Situations

By the turn of the new millennium (the year 2000) Language
Training Institute (LTi) had become the first organisation in
Australia to gain Government accreditation for a Certificate IV in
TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Since that time LTi has
also developed an accredited Diploma, Graduate Certificate, and Graduate
Diploma, as well as the LTi International TESOL Certificate.
In association with the development of these Courses, LTi has produced high
quality TESOL teacher training materials which are used around Australia and
internationally by LTi and other education providers.
TESOL Made Practical for All Situations was first published in 2005. The original
author was Paula Withers who penned the earlier editions of the text at the
invitation of LTi. Paula had gone to the Philippines to teach English in 1995 with
limited experience after completing a short TESOL Course in Australia. Out of that
experience and her ongoing commitment to the profession, Paula's belief in the
value of practical, hands-on training became a perfect foundation for the delivery
of the LTi English language teacher training courses.
This most recent edition of TESOL Made Practical for All Situations includes
valuable revisions and updates by Rachel Brigg, LTi TESOL Director; Laura da Silva,
a senior LTi Course Trainer and Course Materials Developer; and Daria Cooper, LTi
Editorial and Publishing Coordinator.
The ongoing involvement of LTi staff, as well as feedback from representatives of
other education providers delivering the LTi Courses within Australia and
internationally, ensures that the text stays at the forefront of the global English
language teaching profession.
