The Spelling Bee for EFL Teachers [Paperback]
Book Description
Publication Date: March 19, 2012
Spelling is the Cinderella of language learning.
Ask a teacher how to teach spelling, and the answer will most likely be echoed by students: Read books. PAy attention to words. Notice them. While knowing words is important, what can be done to spell unknown words is the larger question.
This book will take a look at both the spelling of known and unknown words, and be an experiential account of the author’s encounter with spelling as both a learner and a teacher of English as a Foreign Language.
