Abstract
"This revision of the highly respected first edition features 25 new articles which reflect the most recent developments in modern language teaching. An entire section is now devoted to current linguistic, psychological, and sociological issues in second-language learning. Several stud questions before each article to focus attention on its main points increase the book's usefulness.
This up-to-date collection of forty-four articles which first appeared in the leading journals for ESL and other modern language teachers presents the essentials of research, theory, and practice from a professional standpoint. The ESL teacher will welcome the opportunity to become familiar with the theories and the classroom techniques of such highly regarded linguists in the field as Edward M. Anthony, Dwight Bolinger, John S. Carroll, A. S. Hornby, Robert Lado, Wallace Lambert, Albert H. Marckwardt, Clifford T. Prator, Bernard Spolsky, and Ronald Wardhaugh.
The book is an excellent introductory text for teachers preparing to teach any modern language, but especially English as a second or foreign language. The teacher whose pupils vary in their knowledge of English will find that the wide range of subject matter meets his needs. The book is also a practical guide to the administrator engaged in planning an English-as-a-second-language program.
The 44 articles are grouped according to the needs of the classroom teacher: Part One-Theories and Approaches; Part Two-Methods, Techniques, and Materials; Part Three-Reading and Writing; Part Four-Contrastive Studies; Part Five-Testing; Part Six-Current Issues. An Overview by the authors precedes each main section."--Book jacket.
