Getting Ready to Teach English As A Foreign Language

The end of the Second World War in 1945 was the starting point of an age of big expansion in science, technology and economy. Technology and commerce were the two forces that were created as a result of this expansion. While these two forces were governing the majority of the world, English became the language for communication. Hence, teaching English as a foreign language became a growing profession and a field of education. Today, with the contribution of the rapidly developing technology, teaching and learning is being looked into from differing perspectives. One of the major impacts of these developments is to equip teachers with the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure effective and efficient language tutoring within a classroom context.
