Publisher's Synopsis

This revised edition of "Authentic Texts in Foreign Language Teaching: Theory and Practice" is aimed at teachers outside of Ireland. The first three chapters cover the same ground as the previous edition: Chapter One briefly reviews some of the principal findings of language acquisition research and begins to explore their implications for language teaching; Chapter Two goes on to examine the basic principles of communicative language teaching, with particular reference to the use of authentic texts; and Chapter Three offers a battery of exercise types for use with authentic texts. For this edition, Chapter Four focuses on the use of authentic texts to develop learners' conscious control of target language grammar.;An appendix provides an analytical overview of the tasks set in public examinations in the United Kingdom.
