issues in language teaching. With chapters by leading experts in
the field, thematic sections explore and consider: the importance
of a wide range of different knowledge bases and skills for
effective teaching how to become expert practitioners approaches to
teaching with reference to relevant theories, complex constructs,
and empirical research the innovations and ideas that shape and
will shape the discipline for the next decade. Each
thought-provoking chapter is supported by reference to further
reading and additional material to encourage deeper exploration

Improving Foreign Language Teaching provides teachers and teacher
trainers with a research-based structure for the effective teaching
and assessment of second languages. As well as outlining a model
for teacher development, the book identifies and exemplifies eight
key principles for effective language learning, which can be used
to guide curriculum design and decisions about classroom pedagogy.
Improving Foreign Language Teaching also presents practical
activities, related materials, and guidance on how student progress
can be monitored and recorded. Based on the research of the authors
and other international experts, together with the work of a
consortium established by the authors and teachers in a range of
secondary schools, the book focusses on the development of language
skills and communicative competence. It also proposes an assessment
system which better reflects how learners progress in language
learning than current models. Taking as its starting point the
challenge of a curriculum in flux and complex pedagogical
approaches, this book offers clear research-informed guidance for
effective planning, teaching and learning. It will be essential
reading for all those concerned with the improvement of language
learning and teaching in the secondary classroom.
This book explores the relevance that second language research has
for the secondary foreign language classroom. It analyses the
concept of teaching and learning exclusively through the target
language. This concept is then related to two current pedagogical
tendencies: peer collaboration and learner autonomy.

Against a backdrop of theory, policy documents, and examples of
practice, this book weaves together research in both secondary and
tertiary education, with a particular focus on the key stakeholders
involved in EMI: the teachers and the students. Whilst
acknowledging that the momentum of EMI is unlikely to be
diminished, and identifying its potential benefits, the author
raises questions about the ways it has been introduced and
developed and explores how we can arrive at a true cost-benefit
analysis of its future impact.
An extremely lucid book that mixes discursive prose with exercises,
questions and prompts for reflection. Each theoretical point is
supported by a fully explained example. The book focuses on the
different strategies that people use to learn languages and shows
teacher how to (a) train pupils in those strategies and (b) adapt
their teaching to derive the greatest benefit from each strategy.
There is increasingly wide agreement among teachers, researchers,
inspectors, advisers and policy-makers that both teaching and
research will benefit from being brought closer together. But how
can this be achieved? Hard-pressed practioners cannot be expected
to review a constant flow of conference papers, journals and other
publications, even if such items were accessibly written. This
unique book synthesizes relevant research findings for the
professional practioner and highlights their implications for the
quality of teaching and learning. Whether you are a teacher looking
to improve your practice or a researcher looking for a concise
overview of the literature, this book will prove a valuable
acquisition.
The Bloomsbury Companion to Second Language Acquisition is designed
to be the essential one-volume resource for advanced students and
academics. It offers a comprehensive reference resource: it
features an overview of key topics in SLA as well the key research
methods. It then goes on to look at current research areas and new
directions in the field by examining key relationships in the
field, including the relationship between first and second language
acquisition and the relationship between L2 input and L2 output. It
is a complete resource for postgraduate students and researchers
working within second language acquisition and applied linguistics.
