Public speaking for teachers? Why not? (book review)

The main reason I bought Public Speaking for Success was the fact that I'm doing more and more workshops, and I realise I have quite a vast area to improve. Talk Like TED was really inspiring, so I decided to try the book by Dale Carnegie (famous for How to Win Friends and Influence People). To my surprise, even though the book is targeted at salespeople and presenters, teachers still may find it useful.

When I discovered brothers Kelley with their "Creative Confidence" and I thought I absolutely owe you a review of this book. However, I am only able to share some impressions, as it is quite impossible to write a review of something that made me feel like I can change the world if I only try.

It's quite difficult to make a nice lesson on idioms because you have to find some nice examples, create some fun exercises and set everything in context. But lo and behold!

Phrasal Verb Organiser is a great book written by John Flower who had apparently seen too many students suffering because of this ridiculous phrasal-verbish-conundrum... or maybe he had seen too many teachers struggling? Whatever inspired him to write the book brought us one of the most useful books ever.

We all know that teaching kids requires not only knowledge and patience, but also wild amounts of ingenuity and creativity - the younger the learner, the more creative the teacher must be! And since I've professionally come back to dealing with young learners and teens, the book I felt like browsing through really carefully addressed the needs of the youngest learners - especially knowing the author.

It's a really strange feeling, when you read a book in April and you realise you've just read your Book of the Year. Also, it's hard to believe I hadn't heard of Jane McGonigal before my Prince Consort picked her book during our monthly book hunt and said "You will love it". He was right, naturally.

Trying to broaden my horizons on the topic, I read a book by Jayne Moon “Children Learning English: A Guidebook for English Language Teachers”. As the author mentions in the introduction, "the book will help you to build on the knowledge and skills you already have, become aware of your beliefs about children and about teaching, re-assess your practice in the classroom, provide fresh ideas and new insights (…) and deepen your commitment to and enthusiasm for teaching children."
