The teaching of English in the Asian context is always challenging
and dynamic because both teachers and learners have diverse
linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Equally important, where
English is not widely used outside the classroom, English language
classrooms are an authentic site of learner engagement. For these
reasons, for all those concerned with contemporary English language
teaching (ELT) in Asia, Asian English Language Classrooms: Where
Theory and Practice Meet, provides an account of theoretical
orientations and practices in the teaching of English to
multilingual speakers whose primary language is not English. While
covering the fundamental ELT areas (e.g., the teaching of language
skills, educational literature, the use of technology in ELT, the
role of pragmatics in ELT, social psychology of the language
classroom, and language classroom management) with which every
language teacher and teacher trainer must be concerned, this volume
showcases how particular orientations shape ELT practices. We
believe that practicing English teachers must have a heightened
awareness of the theory behind their practice. At the same time,
the theoretical stance must be firmly anchored in actual
classrooms. Containing newly commissioned chapters written by
well-regarded and emerging scholars, this book will appeal not only
to beginning teachers or teachers in training but also to
established teachers around Asia where English is used as a lingua
franca. If you are a student teacher of English or an English
teacher who would like to see what other progressive teachers like
you are doing across Asia, this is the book you have been looking
for.
