QualityTime-ESL: Effective English Teaching
Teach your students to "SPEAK" English! Give them confidence!
We are in the DIGITAL AGE! So use "Dynamic ESL Resources" from a BOOK on a DVD as well as free PODCASTS found on this site and on iTunes. There is a version of the book in French/en français for French speaking users.
"QualityTime-ESL: The Digital Resource Book" by Marianne Raynaud shows ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers how to get far better results in "spoken English". The Document Annex contains teaching materials for all levels from students "starting over" to both intermediate and advanced learners. Students will enjoy ESL/EFL courses much more, because they will improve their speaking skills faster. Marianne’s philosophy: less stress and greater pleasure when learning or teaching! The price is 39€ for 1,500 files! You can read the first chapters here.
"QualityTime-ESL: The Digital Resource Book" consists of a DVD containing over 1,500 ready-to-go files (PDF, WORD, MP3 & video) plus 26 chapters of explanations. The files can be opened directly from the chapters by means of hyperlinks. There is also a second DVD, a film entitled "Scenes from an ESL Classroom". Both DVDs are sold on this website cf. Ordering the DVDs. The book costs 39€ and the film 19€. The complete package sells for 49€.
Students can also benefit on their own from the podcasts - free of charge - and the Digital ESL Resource Book on a DVD with exercises, keys, instructions and advice on giving oral presentations, examples of excellent student work: essays, PowerPoints, outlines - and even two 10-minute films written, directed and produced by students.

QualityTime-ESL podcasts to review the basics of spoken English
We now have Free ESL Podcasts to review English grammar (about 10 minutes long), ideal for international exams and university students or anyone wanting to speak correct English and ready to invest the time to do oral exercises.
These podcasts are published on iTunes in a series called "Better Speaking Skills" under the heading "Education"/"ESL". Or just do a search for "Better Speaking Skills"
The first podcasts (with drills) are easy and are intended for ESL STUDENTS WHO STILL FEEL BLOCKED when communicating. Little by little they will become more challenging. We plan to adapt the podcasts to the needs of our our listeners.
The meaning of the term: QualityTime-ESL
"QualityTime" is an allusion to a term which is often used by Americans to refer those precious moments we spend with our children when they are growing up. Many of us are busy parents with full time jobs, but we know it is not the amount of time you spend with your kids that counts but rather the quality of that time. If you devote quality time to your children, they will profit to the utmost. Short periods of "intense relationship" are often the most valuable. The same goes for teaching in my opinion, especially ESL teaching. ESL stands for English as a Second Language. It is not the number of hours that counts, but rather the quality of that teaching. I believe that ESL teaching can be very effective. In others words you can improve immensely in just a few hours or days depending on the circumstances.
