Defining Issues in English Language Teaching

כריכה קדמית
OUP Oxford, 2003 - 193 עמודים
This book goes back to basics by investigating fundamental assumptions about the way English should be defined and taught as a school subject. It looks at different attitudes to English, and developments in its description, and it critically examines current proposals for the specification of course content and classroom methodology, with particular reference to ideas about authenticity and task-based learning.
