Learning English as a foreign language can be difficult, but it can also be fun and rewarding. Teaching Better English: Materials for Teaching English in Japan is full of communicative lessons and activities that are built upon a foundation of reliable theories and best practices of how language can be learned and taught. This valuable resource helps teachers guide their students through learning the alphabet and English sounds, grammar patterns, conversation, self-expression, and culture. This book was inspired by the author's years spent teaching English as a foreign language in Ushibuka City, Kumamoto Prefecture, in Japan's beautiful Amakusa Islands.
