English as a Foreign Language in the Montessori Classroom Matt Bronsil

The Montessori Method was developed in the early 1900s by an Italian medical doctor named Maria Montessori. Though there are Montessori schools around the world, there is little published about teaching a foreign or second language in a Montessori environment. Matt Bronsil has been working in Taiwan for over a decade and shares his experience and expertise of teaching English as a foreign language in a Montessori 3-6 year old environment. This book looks at: --Understanding the Montessori Method.--Evaluating the needs of your students and school.--Philosophy of teaching a foreign language.--Teaching oral communication skills.--Teaching writing and reading.--Advanced reading skills for this age. This book is an excellent tool not only for the foreign teacher in Montessori settings, but anyone that works with young children, teacher or parent, who want more tools to help children develop their language skills
