Teaching English at an NGO in Cambodia

This newest volume in the ELT in Context series by Nicole Takeda is about teaching English at a nongovernmental organization (NGO) in Cambodia and is unique in its details and documentation. It presents firsthand accounts of the considerable challenges and difficulties facing English language teachers working with learners in poverty, on between $1 and $2 US dollars per day. In spite of extremely resource-poor environments, Takeda and her coworkers, through their creation of the Bayon English Academy, have created a haven of educational hope and possiiblities for students from the lowest income families. About the ELT In Context series: The authors in the ELT In Context series were asked to step back from the English language teaching and learning contexts that they are most familiar with and look at those contexts with fresh eyes. The result? A ground-breaking series aimed at TESOL professionals who are considering working in language teaching and learning organizations in various contexts and countries, and who need a clear, concise, and up-to-date account of what it is like to live and work there.
