Description
This book provides essential guidance for teaching English to adult speakers of other languages. It effectively blends research, theory and practical pedagogy to support teachers in meeting the diverse needs of learners.
Reflective tasks throughout the book encourage you to develop and apply your theoretical knowledge to your own experiences. The authors draw on their wealth of experience with adult learners to offer practical strategies for the classroom, covering key topics such as planning, learning and assessment, accuracy and fluency, and language analysis.
Perfect for students on adult ESOL subject specialist certificate courses or integrated Cert Ed/PGCE ESOL courses, this book is also of interest to those teaching English outside the UK. The contributors are all experienced practitioners and researchers who share their expertise in supporting learners from a wide range of cultural, educational and linguistic backgrounds.
