This book provides a lively introduction to the theory and research
surrounding adult learning of English by speakers of other
languages. Offering an accessible discussion of contemporary
debates, the book examines a wide geographical and social spread of
issues, such as:
- How to understand the universal characteristics of learning an
additional language
- What makes a 'good' language learner
- Multilingualism and the taken for granted assumptions about
monolingualism
- Learning the written language
- Learners coping with oral communication outside the ESOL
classroom
- The effect of recent Government immigration policy on language
learning processes.
As a majority of adults learning ESOL are made up of communities of
immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, the diversity of social
and personal histories of the learners is a critical dimension of
this unique book. The question 'what is the relationship between
themental processes of language learning and the social and
cultural contexts of learning?' is one that threads through the
entire text, bringing in discussion of types of classroom and
language teaching methodologies.
Full of practical activities and case studies, this book will be
essential reading for any basic skills teacher undertaking a course
of professional development, from GNVQ through to post-graduate
level.
