English Language Teaching Today: Linking Theory and Practice
provides an up-to-date account of current principles and practices
for teaching English in the world today. The chapters, written by
internationally recognized language teacher educators and TESOL
specialists, introduce the reader to key language skill areas
(i.e., listening, speaking, reading, writing, pronunciation,
grammar and vocabulary) and explain how each skill area can be
taught in a principled manner in diverse language learning
contexts. Throughout the book, the link between theory and practice
is explicitly highlighted and exemplified. This reader-friendly
book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled
in TESOL and other second language education programmes as well as
for TESOL professionals who wish to stay current with recent
developments in ELT.
This volume accentuates how ELT materials can be a mediation of
capitalizing on moral and cultural values, which are more
locally-grounded in respective Southeast Asia (SEA) countries. It
features critical studies on locally-produced ELT materials
(textbooks) situated in the following SEA countries: Timor-Leste,
The Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia,
and Thailand. The chapters, written by experts who know the ELT
context of their respective SEA country, critically examine the
design and use of ELT materials widely used in local and national
contexts. Thus, the volume provides fresh insight into how values
are uniquely manifested in language classroom materials. The
present text also brings together empirical, conceptual and
practical grounds for incorporating moral and cultural values into
ELT materials development in such a way that it views morality and
culture as a mutually complementing entity. This much-needed volume
will be a valuable resource for those interested in the design and
use of language materials in culturally and linguistically diverse
contexts, such as in the Asia Pacific, America, Africa, and Europe.

Although the notion of Global Englishes (GE) has been widely
discussed in the literature, few books consider how GE can be
translated into educational practice. This book addresses the
incorporation of GE into language policy and curriculum, pedagogy
and assessment practices, and focuses on a wide range of
geographical and language contexts. Incorporating GE into language
curriculum, pedagogy and assessment practices calls for a reframing
of our pedagogical practices that take into account the use of
Englishes in intercultural and multicultural encounters where
people have different first languages and cultural backgrounds.
This book will be of interest to policymakers, curriculum
developers and practitioner-researchers in the area of English
language education.

There is an urgent need to examine how the emergence of
globalization is influencing the ways the English language is
perceived, learned, and taught across multiple disciplines as
multilingual students and their multilingual identities become the
norm. This urgency goes beyond the walls of TESOL since working
with multilingual students becomes interdisciplinary work of
language education, teacher education, composition, and writing
centre education.
