Abstract:

Introduces core concepts in methods and teaching approaches

Covering core topics from vocabulary and grammar to teaching, writing speaking
and listening, this textbook shows you how to link research to practice in
TESOL methodology. It emphasises how current understandings have impacted on
the language classroom worldwide and investigates the meaning of 'methods' and
'methodology' and the importance of these for the teacher: as well as the
underlying assumptions and beliefs teachers bring to bear in their practice.
By introducing you to language teaching approaches, you will explore the way
these are influenced by developments in our understanding of language,
learning technologies, learners, and their socio-cultural world.

Three main areas in TESOL methods are covered: the impact of learner needs,
context and culture on language, learning and teaching approaches; knowledge
of language and its impact on methods, from the word to whole texts; and
multiple literacies and competences for the modern world, including academic
literacy and web literacy, socio-cultural and intercultural competence. The
impact on teacher choices and methods of World Englishes, approaches to
grammar, and learner development is also discussed.

Each chapter illustrates core principles in practice using case studies of
English teaching worldwide. Guided tasks, including article critique, case
study analysis, and small-scale classroom research, prepare you to engage
critically with research literature and use this analysis to inform your own
practice.

Key features
*Written specifically for those studying TESOL teaching

*Encourages students to adopt a reflective approach to their teaching
*Concepts and research are presented in an accessible way, regardless of the
