Teaching English Made Easy!

Hi everyone. A few months ago, I launched www.teachingenglishmadeeasy.com , a website to promote a new series of books that I am writing. The title of the series is called, as you guessed, Teaching English Made Easy! The title of the first book is 10 Listening Lesson Plans for the English Language Classroom.

Thus far, learning how to self-publish has been an amazing and educational journey for me. I never knew how easy it was to publish on your own. Sure, you do not get the advertising muscle you would with an already established company. However, you do get to learn a lot like how to get your own ISBN number, how to create your own cover, how to market, etc. Also, I feel as though by self-publishing, I can actually have more interaction with teachers around the world than I could if a major company decided to pick the book up.

I am currently writing the second book of this series. While the first book focused on providing ESL and EFL teachers with listening lesson plans, the second one focuses on teaching writing to English language learners, both in the ESL and EFL environment. The second book is entitled Teaching Writing to English Language Learners. I hope to have the book completed, printed, and ready to be distributed by September, 2009. If you would like to read a little more about it, feel free to check the book out here.

Here are pictures of both books. It took me several hours to design each cover. If you want to read more about each book, just go to www.teachingenglishmadeeasy.com .
