More Description

English Teacher X is back again, to apply his numerous years of hard-won experience (as well as his vicious cynicism and disturbed sense of humor) to one of the thorniest topics in the world of Teaching English as a Foreign Language: GRAMMAR! Grammar rules are of small help in learning to use a foreign language, but they are of great use in quieting anxious or know-it-all students who constantly challenge the teacher, and in impressing bosses and managers, not to mention succeeding in job interviews for TEFL positions. English Teacher X provides a thorough look at some of the most common grammar points which come up in TEFL classes, and gives clear and detailed explanations of them, as well as dialogues explicitly showing how to present and practice the information in class. Topics examined include: PARTS OF SPEECH AND TERMINOLOGY VERB TENSES COMMONLY CONFUSED WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS THINGS STUDENTS WILL TRY TO TEST YOU WITH HOW TO PRACTICE ALL THIS STUFF and many more. WARNING! The book is filled with heaping helpings of English Teacher X's usual sarcasm, obscene language, and crude humor, as well as his notoriously nihilistic outlook on the profession of TEFL. Please don't buy it if that kind of thing offends you.
