Description
Book SynopsisThe aim of this book is to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of teaching language for communication. It is written principally for teachers who wish to adopt a communicative approach and would like to reflect on the principles that underlie it.
Trade Review"I believe many teachers of ESL, EFL and LOTE would find this a useful book as would generalist teachers who have second language learners in their classes. It should find a place on preservice and inservice reading lists."
