English Language Teaching in its Social Context offers sociolinguistic, ethnographic, and social-psychological perspectives on TESOL teaching and learning and introduces the relevant literature on second language acquisition. Together with its companion volumes, it presents English language teaching in a variety of specific institutional, geographic and cultural contexts.
The articles - a range of seminal and specially commissioned pieces - have been carefully chosen to present four major principles of English language teaching:
* they focus on the roles played by teachers and learners
* recognise the individuality of language learners
* support teachers in the provision of active guidance for students' learning
* examine both positive and negative patterns of interaction between learners and teachers.
This Reader offers people unfamiliar with research in this field an overall impression of English language teaching issues while allowing the more experienced reader the opportunity to relate his or her own experiences to the theories presented.

3.0 out of 5 stars too many underlinings and notes
Reviewed in the United States on 6 June 2014
Verified Purchase
I needed the book and live very far away from the US, so I cannot complain much. However, in view of the costs of shipment and handling, I ended up paying a good sum for a book that requires effort to read because it has been consistently underlined. Clearly the book belonged to a scholar who had to study all the volume.

4.0 out of 5 stars 英語教育に関した論文集
Reviewed in Japan on 22 October 2004
Verified Purchase
イギリスとオーストラリアの大学で通信教育でテキストとして使われているので、自分で読んでわかるようにかかれている論文が多い。２０の論文が載っており、英語教育に関した応用言語学がどのようなものか知るには適している。異なった著者によって書かれているので、様々な視点からの意見が述べられており自分で勉強していく方向性を見つける手助けとなる。３５０ページ近くあるが、１つの論文は１０－２０ページ位で区切って読め、充実感を感じながら読める本である。

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect for those doing the RSA TEFLA Dip or a TESOL M.A.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2002

This collection of articles is extremely useful for students of applied linguistics or those parts of RSA, Trinity etc. courses that don't involve slinging bean-bags around the classroom. Particularly useful as an introduction to discourse, pragmatics, register analysis and so on, with a broad range of articles by both "founding fathers/mothers" and very recent work by new young App. Ling gunslingers.
The book is also interesting for anyone with a curiosity about how language use, especially its social power, can be described. So, if you have started to feel that David Crystal or Deborah Tannen's popular works on sociolinguistics don't go deep enough into the subject, try this as an introduction to the topics and the writers.
