Dr. Jan Edwards Dormer has taught English and trained English teachers for 35 years in many different countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa. She has taught adult English learners in a broad range of programs, including those for immigrants, university students, and professionals. She has also taught children in both school-based classes and private programs. She currently works in teacher education in the United States, while also traveling to provide professional development in other countries.
The book is an up-to-date core text on ELT, covering issues such as
nativeness, correctness, and translanguaging, highlighting the
different contexts and domains of language use and language
learning needs but not forgetting the history of language teaching
and acquisition research. I would definitely purchase the book as
an introductory text for my teacher candidates." —Khanh-Duc Kuttig,
MA TESOL; TESOL Practitioner and Teacher Educator
"This book would give a new teacher of English learners, with no
prior education in ESOL teaching, a degree of confidence in knowing
how to create a successful lesson with suitable techniques that not
only work but are enjoyable and proven to be successful. ELT Basics
has made me reflect on my current practice and provided ideas I can
try in the classroom. It is accessible for current practitioners
with demanding workloads and should be on the reading list of
prospective teachers in current university programmes."—Rachel
Lamb, Secondary Trained Science Teacher of 25 Years, newly working
with former refugee students
