The Practice of Foreign Language Teaching

by Wasyl Cajkler, Ron Addelman

Overview

First Published in 2000. In an accessible style with examples of classroom practice, this book will help all those seeking guidance in successful modern language teaching. The book deals mainly, but not solely, with the teaching of modern foreign languages. When discussing behavioural problems, it is general teaching skills and not foreign language methodology which are to the fore. After the introduction the book is divided into seven sections. The section on pupils and teachers tackles general and modern languages issues from the perspectives of both learners and teachers, giving appropriate focus to their needs.
