<p><i>TESOL Press has announced the release of three
new titles in the widely popular English Language Teacher Development
series. The books in this series are short, accessible reference books
that can be easily digested by busy English language professionals.</i></p>
<p>ALEXANDRIA, Va. (PRWEB) January 03, 2018 </p>
<p> TESOL Press has announced the release of three new titles in the widely popular <a href="http://sites.tesol.org/Bookstore/Series/Teacher_Development/Bookstore/Store/StoreLayouts/Series_Teacher_Development.aspx" rel="nofollow">English Language Teacher Development series</a>.
The books in this series are short, accessible reference books that can
be easily digested by busy English language professionals. </p>
<p>Keeping updated is an ongoing responsibility for a profession that
continually reinvents itself. Teachers are not only expected to know the
latest research, but also how to use it in the classroom. Following the
success of the 23 previously published titles in this series, Thomas S.
C. Farrell, Series Editor, has come back with three new titles that
address hot topics in the TESOL field today.</p>
<p>Curriculum Design in English Language Teaching, Second Language
Acquisition Applied to English Language Teaching, and Sociolinguistics
and Language Teaching tackle complex topics using a theory-to-practice
approach, and are written in jargon-free language in 50 pages or less,
making them accessible to novice as well as experienced English language
professionals.</p>
<p>"I like to describe these books as small but mighty," notes Myrna
Jacobs, Director of Publishing and Product Development. "They are short
and can be read quickly, but are packed with immediately relevant
information and tools for the classroom."</p>
<p>Each book offers a variety of practical methods and guided
reflections that allow teachers to interact with the materials
presented. The books can be used in preservice settings, in-service
courses, and by individuals looking for ways to refresh their practice.</p>
<p>Curriculum Design in English Language Teaching walks readers through
the essential steps to take when designing curriculum and authors Ilka
Kostka and Lucy Bunning offer recommendations for analyzing curricula to
inform future change.</p>
<p>Second Language Acquisition Applied to English Language Teaching
discusses second language acquisition research and its correlation to
successful lesson preparation. Readers will learn the three essential
components of ESL/EFL students' learning and other factors that can
improve or challenge a student's ability to learn.</p>
<p>Sociolinguistics and Language Teaching looks at the relationship
between language and society and the importance of showing language in a
real social setting. The easy-to-follow and reflective guide covers
multilingualism, gender bias, identity development, and the role of
gatekeepers in language learning policy and practices.</p>
<p>Books in the English Language Teacher Development Series are available for purchase through the <a href="http://sites.tesol.org/Bookstore" rel="nofollow">TESOL Press Bookstore</a> in both print and ebook (PDF) formats. More information and sample chapters are also available.</p>
<p>Review copies can be requested from tesolpubs(at)brightkey(dot)net</p>
