About this title

Synopsis

What evidence is there for common teaching practices and procedures? And how can teachers explore whether their teaching practices are support by evidence? An Introduction to Evidence-Based Teaching in the English Language Classroom begins by identifying what ‘evidence-based teaching’ is. It then outlines the key strategies, briefly describing how and why they are supported by evidence. Finally, it moves on to show the practical application of these strategies in ELT with concrete examples and activities. It presents the research in a way which teachers will find accessible, and offers research tasks to try in part 1 plus classroom-based research tasks to try in part 2, so that you can consolidate your reading and relate the evidence discussed to your own classroom practice. It is designed to be a supplement to any initial or in-service teacher education course, plus as a useful resource for teachers at any level who are interested in evidence-based teaching in English Language classes. You should read alongside core teacher training texts, in order to be able to examine common teaching practices.
