Synopsis

The one-to-one language trainer's gem. In this in-depth yet easy-access guide, The Language Teacher's Handbook takes the wooliness out of language learning objectives, empowering them to reach their goals with greatly enhanced implication. It solves the biggest problems that any one-to-one language trainer has, including: • how to turn around the trainees that are just not making progress, • how to re-motivate, • how to get trainees to become responsible for their own progress and work outside classes, • how the trainer can set themselves up for their own frustration-free success in training. Not only is the reader stimulated by a highly-effective and cutting-edge methodology, but they get to see their trainees succeed time and again – for real.

About this title

About the Author

Luke A. Archer is an Irish-born teacher trainer and bilingual motivational speaker on communication, conflict management, and pedagogy. He has lived in France since 1995, where after fifteen years of teaching and learning management, he founded Betterfly France (www.betterflyfrance.com), a teaching institute based in Lyon, to help teachers and managers enhance their pedagogical skills. He has worked with a wide range of groups and individuals: from underprivileged children and university students to coaches and CEOs of multinational firms. Profoundly convinced that a balance in interpersonal relations, both personal and professional, enable a more proficient means to share and acquire knowledge, skills and personal development, he is also the author of the Verbal Aikido book series (www.verbal-aikido.com). “As society changes, teachers need to adapt to these changes. Information can be found anywhere; teachers are no longer the providers of information, they must be facilitators and motivators, help others find their vocation and their talent.”
