Designed for pre-service and novice teachers in ELT, What English
Language Teachers Need to Know Volumes I, II, and III are companion
textbooks organized around the key question: What do teachers need to
know and be able to do in order to help their students to learn
English?
Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of Volume III
explores the contexts for ELT curricula; explains key processes in
curriculum design; and sets out approaches to curricula that are
linguistic-based, content-based, learner centered, and learning
centered. Organized around the three pillars of teaching-planning,
instructing, and assessing-chapters in the second edition are updated to
include current research and theory to meet the needs of today's
teachers, and feature new or revised vignettes and activities. New
chapters help teachers understand both the technological and
multilingual approaches that learners need to succeed today.
The comprehensive texts of this series are suitable resources for
teachers across different contexts-where English is the dominant
language, an official language, or a foreign language; for different
levels-elementary/primary, secondary, university, or adult education;
and for different learning purposes-general English, workplace English,
English for academic purposes, or English for specific purposes.
