Chris has written a good book that can be used by any kind of language teacher. This is a great book for someone who is just starting out or someone going through teacher training (like CELTA or a Masters program). I have already put some of the ideas and suggestions to use in some of my classes and I think it will come in handy when preparing future lessons, too.

Pros I like the fact that resources are cross linked in the text. This makes reading the book and finding what you want very easy. I also like the fact that the activities are rather general and can be fit into most lesson plans. Even if you are a veteran language teacher this book can be really useful for you.
Cons Although ebooks have become quite popular recently some people might not prefer the electronic only version. However, you can always print out the book if you need more or a reference.

Overall Chris has a great website. Lots of great free resources to choose from. He also has an email newsletter with helpful teaching tips. Chris is also available on Twitter and participates in the conversations about ESL and EFL there. He is definitely an active member of the community and very helpful.

Web Review

Country I Teach in Japan
Pros Chris Cotter is constantly updating the site and adding new lesson plans and worksheets. I lot of the classes are just 'pull and go.' All you have to do is print out the necessary materials and burn the mp3s off on CD and away you go. He has basic 'skill builders' plus current topic discussion type lessons.
Cons Some of the discussion lesson plans are a long list of questions that might need to be supplemented with other material to make the class more engaging.

Overall I think Japanese Pod 101 is a great website. I would recommend trying out the free podcasts for awhile and see if you like their lesson style. Once you get familar with the teaching style, you can upgrade to the basic account to use the pdfs. Then you can later upgrade to the premium account once you are ready.

I personally print out the pdfs and read along to them as I listen to the podcast. I try to time myself and read the script faster and faster. This really helps fluency, and helps you get the most out of the lesson.

I also like the yujijukugo lessons. If you are not familar with yujijukugo, they are essentially Japanese idiomatic expressions. I think it helps to understand the culture more.

Web Review

Country I Teach in Japan
Pros They have content every day which is really nice. There is always new material to study. I also like the fact that they use real Japanese. People in Japan rarely speak 'textbook' Japanese, there are a lot of endings and shortcuts.
Cons The premium account is a really hard to keep up with. You can't really use it on the go. Although it is very nice, it is hard to schedule time to sit down in front of your computer and use all of the tools they provide.
