Materials and Methods in ELT is an essential resource for
teachers or for those engaged in taking professional courses
relating to all aspects of English language teaching.
Now available in its 3rd edition, this popular teachers’
guide offers a comprehensive and useful introduction to the
principles and practice of teaching English as a foreign/second
language. It examines the ideas behind current methodology and
teaching materials, in addition to offering a practical guide to
approaching materials and methods, evaluation and adaptation,
technology for materials and methods, and teaching in
under-resourced classrooms. These principles are then related to
the individual language skills of reading, listening, speaking, and
writing. The authors examine the different methodologies available
to teachers for organizing and running an ELT classroom; discussing
group and pair work, individualization, classroom observation, and
the teachers’ role in the contemporary ELT context.
Updated throughout, the 3rd edition features a new section on
technology for materials and methods, as well as a new chapter on
IT in English language teaching, and inclusion of new samples from
current teaching materials.
