David Nunan's dynamic learner-centered teaching style has informed
and inspired countless TESOL educators around the world. In this
fresh, straightforward introduction to teaching English to speakers
of other languages he presents teaching techniques and procedures
along with the underlying theory and principles. Complex theories
and research studies are explained in a clear and comprehensible,
yet non-trivial, manner without trivializing them. Practical
examples of how to develop teaching materials and tasks from sound
principles provide rich illustrations of theoretical constructs.
The content is presented through a lively variety of different
textual genres including classroom vignettes showing language
teaching in action, question and answer sessions, and opportunities
to 'eavesdrop' on small group discussions among teachers and
teachers in preparation. Readers get involved through engaging,
interactive pedagogical features and opportunities for reflection
and personal application. Each chapter follows the same format so
that readers know what to expect as they work through the text. Key
terms are defined in a Glossary at the end of the book. David
Nunan's own reflections and commentaries throughout enrich the
direct, up-close style of the text.
