VTTN resource books


There is a set of TN resource books in each province. These cover many aspects of teaching, from theory and methodology to practical classroom activities.

New books of particular relevance to the “Teaching Receptive Skills” workshops are:

• ‘How to Teach Pronunciation’ – Gerald Kelly (Longman) (With CD) An excellent book with clear descriptions and lots of practical ideas to help teachers with what is one of the biggest problem areas for students!
• ‘LISTEN HERE!’ With 2CDs – Clare West (Georgian Press). This is a useful book for supplementing your course books. It is full of lively listening activities featuring different accents

Please contact your provincial ELT specialist or co-ordinator for more information.
