For Teachers Only ~ by J. Wesley Eby
FROM THE PREFACE: The Handbook for Teaching Bible-based ESL has been written primarily for the person who lacks professonal training in ESL (English as a Second Language). Yet all ESL teachers--even experienced ones--should benefit from the many practical suggestions on second language teaching. Although the information applies to both the church and the community, the focus is on Bible-based materials for us in a Christian setting. (Nazarene Publishing House Order number #ELG601.) Other ESL Materials Available at Nazarene Publishing House.
