Presenting contemporary issues about language and English in a straightforward, balanced way with a light touch, the author's teacher personality comes across engagingly. It provides useful training exercises linking practically to the classroom. I would certainly use it with my classes."--Vivian Cook, Newcastle University, UK "This engaging book brings a practitioner's viewpoint to bear on those issues in applied linguistics that impact on the teaching of English. The author effectively bridges the theory-practice divide, making an accessible introductory text for teachers entering the field, or, for more experienced teachers, an effective means of deepening their professional knowledge base." --Scott Thornbury, The New School, USA This textbook proposes a theoretical approach to linguistics in relation to teaching English. Combining research with practical classroom strategies and activities, it aims to satisfy the needs of new and experienced TESOL practitioners, helping them to understand the features of the English language and how those features impact on students in the classroom. The author provides a toolkit of strategies and practical teaching ideas to inspire and support practitioners in the classroom, encouraging reflection through regular stop-and-think tasks, so that practitioners have the opportunity to deepen their understanding and relate it to their own experience and practice. This book will appeal to students and practitioners in the fields of applied linguistics, TESOL, EAL, English language and linguistics, EAP, and business English.
