This week sees the launch of Penny Ur’s new title, 100 Teaching Tips, which is the the latest in our Cambridge Handbook for Language Teachers series. To celebrate we sat down with Penny to discuss her experience of writing the book, and the best tips she has encountered in her teaching career.
“I really enjoyed writing this book, because it was coming out of my own feelings, my own thoughts about what I’ve been doing…I was writing a letter to teachers out there…and speaking to them personally” (Penny Ur, 2016)
In Part 1 of our interview, Penny explained why she decided to write 100 Teaching Tips. In Part 2 below, we delve deeper to find out how Penny found writing this book in comparison to her other titles, and why this was a personal project for her.
Ideal for teachers in their first year or two of teaching, 100 Teaching Tips may also be of interest to more experienced teachers who will find that the ideas resonate with their own encounters in the classroom. Make sure to check out some of Penny’s example tips on the blog!
