This research collection presents a critical review of the
materials used for learning English around the world. The first
section includes a discussion of materials for specific learners
and purposes, such as young learners, self-study, academic writing
and general proficiency. The second section presents a detailed
study of the materials used in Europe, Asia, North America, South
America, Africa and Australia, and critically evaluates their
effectiveness in the teaching of English to speakers of other
languages. Taking both the teacher's and the learner's needs into
consideration, the book makes a positive contribution to the future
of research in materials development, and has practical
applications.This comprehensive, critical analysis of materials in
use around the world will be useful for academics researching
materials development and applied linguistics and for students on
post-graduate applied linguistics and ELT courses.
