Q: What book to buy as inexperienced university teacher?
I taught for one year in Chinese high school international departments and private training centers, then took a 3 year break, and now I'm back about to start teaching at a university in Guizhou. Thing is, I'm really bad at planning. I feel like it'd be super helpful to have a book I could more or less base my courses on. Any recommendations?

download from "the great courses" on a torrent site the title "the art of teaching". A professor with 20 years experience teaches the class on videos of about 30 minutes length.
You know what classes you're gonna teach? I know we don't know what classes you'll be teaching. Could be Business, Oral, Listening, Writing, Journalism English, Culture

What Engles said...
Plus - so, you[re not experienced at teaching at university.. what qualifications do you have
I mean, tp teach language in China, you're supposed to have some sort of TESOL qualification - surely you have this, and they've taught you how to teach...????
Englteachted:
Exactly, but speaking the truth is bad because feelings get hurt
Englteachted:
Plus you've been teaching in China so you were exposed to their respective libraries and had an opportunity to look through books and see which you like. Oh wait that's if you have genuine interest and respect for the teaching profession. Every month I'm searching online , torrents and taobao for new interesting material. I read news sites and collect useful articles to use as lessons. What bugs the fuck out of me are these damn losers asking for my lessons or worse stealing it whenever they get a chance. I can never put copies on the work puter or even leave my usb in the puter.
You're a fucking adult learn to be independent and wipe your own ass

my favorite is when the young chinese teachers come into your class to record and copy your work that are not students, "frying the foreigner" like and egg to get everything you can out of him/her.
