Teaching by Principles: An Interactive Approach to Language Pedagogy

Teaching by Principles by Brown is an excellent resource book for teachers. In fact, it's the best book I have encountered so far which provides a detailed outlined of most aspects of teaching English as a second language. I'm currently studying for a Master's degree in TESOL and have found this book well set-out and very easy to understand, compared with other books on TESOL teaching such as Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching by Richards & Rodgers and The Elements of Language Curriculum by Brown himself, just to cite two examples. If you are taking a course in TESOL or are even just currently teaching English overseas (I'm teaching English in Japan) - this book will provide you with much insight into the history of teaching and various teaching methods as well as providing much food for thought on how you can improve your own classes. Highly recommended!

The book was received in a very short time, in fact, I wasn't expecting it to arrive so soon. The book got to Puerto Rico in perfect conditions. It was an excellent purchase! I would definitely purchase here again.

This is a must for language teachers, with very clear information covering a wide range of topics from a history of teaching methods to teacher development.

I use this book at a English methodology course at a university. The words and structures of each chapter are so easy that even non-native speaker of English can understand the content of the book well. I strongly recommend this book to non-native teachers of English like me.

This book was my constant resource during my masters degree course in TESOL. No other book was more helpful and clearly written! If you do much reading in the field you will know that there are a great many authors in the TESOL field whose writing style is immensely dry, convoluted and tedious. Not so here...By all means get this book! You will certainly not regret it.
