Abstract:

Grammar is central to language pedagogy and teachers need a clear
description of what constitutes grammar and how it can best be taught
in the English language classroom. This book illustrates a new way of
describing the grammar of spoken and written English. In an accessible
style, the author demonstrates how lexical phrases, frames and
patterns provide a link between grammar and vocabulary. He also
discusses how the different aspects of the language require different
learning processes and different teaching techniques. These processes
and techniques are contextualised within a task-based approach to
teaching and learning. Numerous interactive tasks are provided to
guide readers and over forty examples of teaching exercises are
included to illustrate techniques which can be applied in the
classroom immediately.

Abstract:

This book, by one of the leading figures in applied linguists,
provides a wide-ranging and comprehensive treatment of the major
issues in applied linguistics. Its six chapters take the reader
through the major tenets and debates in the field and are essential
reading for anyone involved in applied linguistics and language
teaching today. It outlines the historical roots of the field and its
major developments over the years, and examines current issues such as
language modelling and the analysis of discourse. While not neglecting
theory, the book takes a practical approach and language teachers, as
well as university level students, will find it a useful read.
