many aspects
of teaching young children, whether

a valuable resource for you in the years to
come. Use it whenever you
are searching for
new ideas and concepts with which to experiment in
your classes.
There is no one right wayEto teach English. You may very
well use several
techniques in a single
lesson.
Read each part of the text thoroughly. After each part,
there is an
assignment that you should complete
and submit ONLINE before
proceeding to the next
part.
We recommend that you either print off the assignments

reading through the
chapters. That way, you will be able to jot
down responses to the questions as you come to them.
You should complete each assignment while the material is
fresh in
your mind. Completion of the assignments
assures us that you have
studied and understood
the material covered. No grade will be issued
