Are there any sites in the internet that you know, where you can learn step by step how to effectively teach teenage and adult learners?

I know that the best way to learn yourself how to teach is, probably, to participate in a, for example, CELTA course. However, it's pretty expensive, at least for me, for the time being.

Maybe you know some good books worth reading that deal with the subject of teaching?

thanks

There are hundreds of books on teaching English, from grammar to business English. I think you need to decide what you want to focus on in your classes. You should take complete beginners through vocabulary and grammar in progressive stages: use a course book like the "Headway" series and see how they do it.

Hello,

I'd recommend 'Learning Teaching' by Jim Scrivener. This is one which is recommended during CELTA courses and is a nice introduction.

There is also a series of books called 'How to teach ..'. For example, I liked 'How to teach Grammar' by Scott Thornbury, and the series includes 'How to teach Vocabulary', 'How to teach Writing' and so on.

Decent coursebooks such a
