Publisher's Synopsis
This multidisciplinary volume is a systematic, well-researched resource to help understand the methods and techniques of teaching English as a second language. It integrates theory with praxis, drawing on the Cognitivist-Social interactionist theory and Constructivist approaches adopted in an English classroom. It provides insights into recent trends in teaching, given the changed teaching-learning scenario in education, while simultaneously aiding in the development of the 4IR skills much needed in the 21st century.
Written in an easy-to-understand language, the book expounds on various language skills and their application in real-world classrooms. These classroom-tested techniques can be used by teachers by modifying the context in which they are used. The tasks help develop critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities in learners. The techniques and practices elucidated in the book are designed to be accessible to a global readership.
This book will be useful to students, pre-service teachers, and researchers, who are new to the teaching of English Language. It will also be an essential companion to practicing in-service teachers and Teacher Trainers to further sharpen their concepts and skills.
