Abstract:
English language teaching methods and language learning styles have changed
dramatically over the past decade in Asia and the surrounding regions. Huge
efforts are being made by teachers from the K-12 system, as well as at the
tertiary level, to move away from the traditional Grammar-Translation Method
towards more communicative approaches to teaching and learning, including the
use of project- and task-based learning and technology-enhanced language
learning, just to name a few of the more frequently used methodologies. In
this book, the authors shed light on the changes in ELT in Asia and the region
over the past 10 years or so as seen in the wider context of language policy,
which puts greater value on the acquisition of English and the new directions
in learner-centered classrooms which encourage student autonomy and voice and
place students as active decision-makers in the learning process.
With the title of “Departing from Tradition: Innovations in English Language
Teaching and Learning”, this book showcases some of the innovations in ELT
that are currently happening in this rapidly growing field. Given the growing
importance of English and the enormous energy and enthusiasm in the region for
learning the language in both formal and informal contexts, ELT will continue
to flourish. This volume will offer insights into the tremendous changes that
have been made in secondary and university English language classrooms across
the region.
