A Brand New Aid for E.S.L. Teachers of All Levels: Comprehensive New Book
Features 85 E.S.L. Lesson Plans and Accompanying Drills

TORONTO, April 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether one is a brand new English as a
Second Language (E.S.L.) teacher looking for guidance, a substitute E.S.L.
teacher given a class at short notice or an experienced E.S.L. teacher who
simply doesn't want to prepare another lesson plan, Grant Panter's "85 E.S.L.
Grammar Lesson Plans" (published by AuthorHouse -- http://www.authorhouse.com)
is a book set on making the world of E.S.L. instruction an easier and more
effective one.
    With over 27 years of E.S.L. teaching experience at George Brown College
in Toronto, Panter knows a thing or two about successful E.S.L. methodology.
    "Grammar is the framework of any language and, most importantly, verbs and
verb tenses are the core of the grammar," Panter points out. "Therefore,
grammar and verb tenses are where most of your teaching should be directed."
    In his role at George Brown College, Panter was asked to evaluate student
teachers and found that while they had theoretical knowledge, they were unable
to prepare clear, understandable lesson plans. He set out to remedy that issue
with "85 E.S.L. Grammar Lesson Plans." The simple and effective guide includes
written lessons plans, instructions on how to teach each lesson, oral practice
drills for each lesson, homework suggestions and a daily review (both oral and
written.), all suitable for teaching beginning, intermediate and advanced
students. It also presents oral verb drills and written verb review exercises,
helping to ensure that students are practicing, listening, reading, writing
and -- most importantly -- speaking.
    By eliminating the difficult work of preparing lesson plans, Panter's
unique book allows teachers to focus on successful instruction.
    "You can tell your students that if they can reproduce, orally, the
grammar presented here, they will speak English very well," says Panter, "and
that is the truth."
Grant Panter grew up in England and moved to Canada as a young man, where
someone suggested that he consider teaching E.S.L. in Toronto. The rest is 27
years of history. Now retired, Panter lives aboard his boat in the summer and
travels to South America in the winter.
