    FROM TEACHER TO MANAGER

    LANGUAGE TEACHING ORGANIZATION

    Introduction
    • Authors: Ron White, Andy Hockley, Julie Van der Horst Jansen,Mellisa
    s.Laughner
    • Publisher: First published in 2008 by Cambridge University Press
    • This is a handbook for managers of language teaching
    organizations such as directors and assistant directors of
    studies ,academic directors and school owners

    • This book provides an introduction to key concepts required


    by managers of language teaching organizations, covering
    topics from strategic and operational financial
    management ,sales and marketing and customer service
    through to academic and human resource management
    • Book is all about opening ,equipping and running a
    language school professionally

    • Management is tackled from different angles and seen


    from varied perspectives
    BODY/SUMMARY

    • Book is divided into ten chapters ,consisting Of 288 pages

    • It is a concise reference book carefully organized with cross


    referencing to link the integrated processes of management
    and supplemented by case studies and vignettes, all of which
    relate to real life situations in actual language teaching
    organizations
    • Case studies and vignettes give the reader a deeper
    understanding of the chapter theme ,offer fresh ideas, and
    may provide possible parallels with their own organizations

    • Each chapter is interspersed with tasks which not only aid


    the learning but also enables readers to personalize the
    practices to their own work
    • There are also reflection notes throughout the book which
    invite the reader to analyze each of the topics discussed
    and how they are practiced in their own organizations

    • Book has covered all aspects of running an LTO ,from the


    financial and marketing side of the business to recruitment,
    performance management and staff motivation
    • Each chapter is broken down into various components
    related to the main topic for example The marketing and
    sales chapter deals with the strategic marketing ,finding out
    what the customers want, marketing mix, and marketing
    plans.

    • There is also a brief introduction to each chapter and


    auseful thought provoking conclusion
    CONCLUSION
    • This book clearly demonstrates what a huge difference
    good managers make to the business, its customers and the
    employees

    • Management is a skill which can be learnt and the book


    provides all the necessary tools with the focus on predictive
    rather than reactive management.
    • The only criticism is that the book presents an LTO utopia,
    far removed from reality. And readers may feel that the
    aims are unachievable and be left with a sense of
    desperation about their current working condition

    • Another point is that the presentation is fairly dull ,the text


    is dense and there is constant referral to separate pages for
    tables, explanations and additional information which is
    frustrating.
    • All in all ,it is a really useful reference book and I would
    definitely recommend this text to all new managers in the
    ELT industry as well as common teachers who are going
    to become managers in future.
    THANK YOU
