Why a book on the nature of language? The answer is surprising in
this new book by Bill VanPatten. Language just isn't what most of
us think it is-and because of that, the need to know about the
nature of language takes on new importance for teachers who really
want to teach for acquisition, who truly want to teach for
communicative ability and proficiency. It provides teachers with
one of the important arguments for striking out on their own and
exploring new methods and alternative curricula and assessments.
Engaging and reader friendly, this book will challenge every
teacher's ideas about what winds up in learners' heads. It will
lead teachers to question the content of most current textbooks and
the practices contained in them.
