Synopsis:

An accessible and comprehensive discussion of teaching methods and approaches. Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching Third edition is an extensive revision of this highly successful book. As in previous editions, both major and alternative approaches and methods are surveyed, with the section on current communicative approaches updated to include new material on CLIL, text and genre-based teaching. The book seeks not only to clarify the assumptions behind these approaches, and their similarities and differences, but also to help teachers explore their own beliefs and practices in language teaching. Further new material deals with other directions in language teaching, such as outcomes-based initiatives, to make this edition fully up-to-date.

About the Author: Jack C. Richards is Honorary Professor in the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Sydney, Australia.
Theodore S. Rodgers is Professor of Psycholinguistics at the University of Hawaii.
