Help needed! Teaching English to Adults: books,materials,websites
 
Hello dear teachers!


I have been a member of this website for 2 months and this is the first time I �m posting something on the forum.

First of all, I want to thank all of you ,wonderful people, who contribute on a daily basis with wonderful ws, activities, grammar guides etc. They have a been a real help for me and my adult learners since I �ve discovered this website.

Now, I want to ask you, my dear fellow teachers, to help me with something. I �m writing my dizertation paper on Teaching English to Adults.

I would be very grateful to you all, if you could suggest some books on this topic, or if you have materials that you can send me or even some websites related to this topic.


Thank you in advance for your replies! Smile
