The Routledge Handbook of Teaching English to Young Learners
celebrates the 'coming of age' for the field of research in
primary-level English Language Teaching. With 32 chapters written
by international scholars from a wide geographical area including
East Africa, Mexico, the South Pacific, Japan, France, the USA and
the UK, this volume draws on areas such as second language
acquisition, discourse analysis, pedagogy and technology to
provide: An overview of the current state of the field, identifying
key areas of TEYL. Chapters on a broad range of subjects from
methodology to teaching in difficult circumstances and from Content
and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) to gaming. Suggestions of
ways forward, with the aim of shaping the future research agenda of
TEYL in multiple international contexts. Background research and
practical advice for students, teachers and researchers. With
extensive guidance on further reading throughout, The Routledge
Handbook of Teaching English to Young Learners is essential reading
for those studying and researching in this area.
This volume focuses on the post-observation feedback conference, a
common feature of teacher education programs, and highlights the
importance of such talk in the development and evaluation of
teachers and other professionals. The book adopts a linguistic
ethnographic approach, which provides a framework for examining the
contextual nature of the talk and how it is embedded within wider
social contexts and structures, such as evaluation regimes. Drawing
on data from a range of settings, including pre-service teacher
education, medical education, and teacher appraisal programs,
Copland and Donaghue examine the feedback conference from a range
of perspectives, including face, identity and genre, and show how a
nuanced understanding of discussions can support teacher trainers,
supervisors and observers to provide appropriate and useful
feedback. A concluding chapter brings together brief vignettes from
researchers active in the field to point to future directions for
further study. This book will be of particular interest to students
and researchers in discourse analysis, language education,
linguistic anthropology, and professional communication, as well as
pre- and in-service teachers.

The collection demonstrates the ways in which established
traditions and scholars have come together under the umbrella of
linguistic ethnography to explore important questions about how
language and communication are used in a range of settings and
contexts, and with what effect.

Teachers often find that materials get between learners and
learning for a variety of reasons. Because learning materials play
a significant part in lessons, it is important they fit for
purpose. Mann and Copland have elicited and included comments and
suggestions from several teachers, teacher educators, and
coursebook experts to illustrate theirdiscussions and to bring the
practitioner voice into play. They provide principles and
approaches for adapting material to suit a variety of contexts and
show how teachers can work successfully with limited resources. The
authors are also concerned with the choices teachers and learners
have with regard to the timing and location of learning, and
include a discussion of homework, virtual learning environments,
and the flipped classroom.
This is an engaging interdisciplinary guide to the unique role of
language within ethnography. The book provides a philosophical
overview of the field alongside practical support for designing and
developing your own ethnographic research. It demonstrates how to
build and develop arguments and engages with practical issues such
as ethics, transcription and impact. There are chapter-long case
studies based on real research that will explain key themes and
help you create and analyse your own linguistic data. Drawing on
the authors' experience they outline the practical, epistemological
and theoretical decisions that researchers must take when planning
and carrying out their studies. Other key features include: A clear
introduction to discourse analytic traditions Tips on how to
produce effective field notes Guidance on how to manage interview
and conversational data Advice on writing linguistic ethnographies
for different audiences Annotated suggestions for further reading
Full glossary This book is a master class in understanding
linguistic ethnography, it will of interest to anyone conducting
field research across the social sciences.
