Description

When it comes to language studies where do theory and practice meet? Written by Melinda Whong, an experienced ELT lecturer, this textbook is the first to provide a linguistics-based perspective on language teaching.The text offers a brief historical survey on the ways in which language has been viewed and highlights the implications of these perspectives for language teaching. Current linguistic approaches are described -- formal, functional and cognitive -- and how these perspectives translate into classroom practice. (11/1/11)
