The first two sections contain instructions on organizing an ESL classroom, planning lessons, and building community in the classroom. Section three has the ideas for classroom activities based on theme-units such as food, clothing, health, money, family, etc. Each unit will have ten or more activities. Each activity describes approximate time required, ability level, main teaching points, organization (groups or individuals), and preparation if any. My classes have really enjoyed the many information gap activities, sentence scrambles, and dictations. For example, all my students have enjoyed the Refrigerator Dictation. While it's ostensibly about food, it's also teaching listening skills, target vocabulary, directions and space relationships, writing skills, and more. Plus it's fun. I've found this book to be very helpful for weaving activities into a lesson. Highly recommended. Review: Great Book-especially for beginning teachers - I recently obtained my first EFL teaching job which will be in China. This book was highly rated so I decided to get it. I have just reviewed the book (although my teaching has not started yet). This book offers a lot of great prepared lessons that will likely prove a valuable time saver. Many of the lessons include other variations that the teacher could consider. The lessons are creative and will keep the course from becoming too "dry" and boring. If I have to teach a course at the last minute this book will provide a variety of lessons I can use. Highly recommended! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0521649900 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,879,462 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,821 in Linguistics (Books) #3,855 in Language Arts Teaching Materials #4,321 in Adult & Continuing Education (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (21) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.55 x 9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 9780521649902 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0521649902 | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 244 pages | | Publication date | January 28, 2000 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![Teaching Adult Second Language Learners (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41U8VIgY54S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Terrific Teaching Resource for Beginning-Intermediate ESL Class *by M***E on February 21, 2011* This is a very useful, practical, flexible, and accessible book for planning lessons for adult ESL learners.

Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy *by A***N on August 5, 2003* This is a helpful guide to help a teacher plan lessons for language classes. Each lesson is easily adaptable to all ages and levels. The lessons are organized according to topic and actually go in order as if you are actually beginning a class, commencing with get-to-know-you exercises. There are a lot of fun activities included that coincide with each lesson's topic. There is a lot of information provided if you need a lot of help as well as considerable room for you to tailor a lesson to your class. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/45434711-teaching-adult-second-language-learners-cambridge-handbooks-for-language-teachers](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/45434711-teaching-adult-second-language-learners-cambridge-handbooks-for-language-teachers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
