Teaching ESL/EFL Reading and Writing

I. S. P. Nation - Teaching ESL/EFL Reading and Writing
Published: 2008-08-15 | ISBN: 041598968X, 0415989671 | PDF | 184 pages | 3 MB


Using a framework based on principles of teaching and learning, this guide for teachers and teacher trainees provides a wealth of suggestions for helping learners at all levels of proficiency develop their reading and writing skills and fluency. By following these suggestions, which are organized around four strands – meaning-focused input, meaning-focused output, language-focused learning, and fluency development – teachers will be able to design and present a balanced program for their students.
Teaching ESL/EFL Reading and Writing, and its companion text, Teaching ESL/EFL Listening and Speaking, are similar in format and the kinds of topics covered, but do not need to be used together. Drawing on research and theory in applied linguistics, their focus is strongly hands-on, featuring
easily applied principles,
a large number of useful teaching techniques, and
guidelines for testing and monitoring,
All Certificate, Diploma, Masters and Doctoral courses for teachers of English as a second or foreign language include a teaching methods component. The texts are designed for and have been field tested in such programs.
