Opening Remarks
The following is a collection of works that I believe will interest teachers of English in Japan. This is in no way a complete list of the books and articles that have been written and published in the different areas.
This is a working list and I welcome any additions or comments on the list. I have included all the works that have been referenced in the paper as well as noted works in the particular field.

Conclusion
I hope the reader has found something of interest in these pages. Teaching English doesn't have to be a grueling job. With the right attitude and a certain amount of determination, teachers can make a useful contribution and feel like they have accomplished something. Not all of the exercises will work for you and you shouldn't be disappointed. Class dynamics, student interest or energy level, even the weather can have an effect on how smoothly lessons go in the classroom. We, as teachers, need to recognize what works for our students and be versatile enough to find out what create sparks among our students.
If you have never studied a foreign language, you should really try. Doing so will give you valuable insight into what works in the classroom. Being on the receiving end, you will soon be able to recognize what you think works in the classroom. There will be some differences, but getting a more subjective view of teaching language can only help to polish your own teaching.
Also, watching other teachers who are teaching the same language as you will give you more insight. Some teachers are reluctant to have observers. Still, having other teachers watch you and watching other teachers you will certainly grow.
Lastly, if you are really serious about making a profession out of language teaching, join some language teachers associations and/or groups in person or through the mail or computer communications.
