Synopsis

The practical applications of the most recent language teaching theory is the focus of this text. Students examine and apply theory through observational episodes, microteaching situations, and case studies (in both foreign languages and ESL), and ultimately develop their own approaches to teaching. Teacher's Handbook also serves as a highly useful reference for both pre- and in-service instructors. It includes a resource section with sources of free materials, sample lesson plans, teaching evaluation forms, and more.
