Covering core topics from vocabulary and grammar to teaching, writing speaking and listening, this textbook shows you how to link research to practice in TESOL methodology. It emphasises how current understandings have impacted on the language classroom worldwide and investigates the meaning of 'methods' and 'methodology' and the importance of these for the teacher: as well as the underlying assumptions and beliefs teachers bring to bear in their practice. By introducing you to language teaching approaches, you will explore the way these are influenced by developments in our understanding of language, learning technologies, learners, and their socio-cultural world. Three main areas in TESOL methods are covered: the impact of learner needs, context and culture on language, learning and teaching approaches; knowledge of language and its impact on methods, from the word to whole texts; and multiple literacies and competences for the modern world, including academic literacy and web literacy, socio-cultural and intercultural competence. The impact on teacher choices and methods of World Englishes, approaches to grammar, and learner development is also discussed. Each chapter illustrates core principles in practice using case studies of English teaching worldwide. Guided tasks, including article critique, case study analysis, and small-scale classroom research, prepare you to engage critically with research literature and use this analysis to inform your own practice. Key features* Written specifically for those studying TESOL teaching* First book to teach methods and practice in a global context, including links to the latest developments in the field* Encourages students to adopt a reflective approach to their teaching* Concepts and research are presented in an accessible way, regardless of the student's level of teaching experience or linguistic study* Provides task-based activities.

Teaching English as a Second or Other Language (TESOL) is a multifaceted academic discipline requiring training in linguistics, language acquisition, language pedagogy, methodology, materials development, testing and research, curriculum and syllabus design, programme administration and cross-cultural communication. This series of advanced textbooks in TESOL comprises individual volumes addressing an identifiable subfield within TESOL in more depth than would be covered in an introductory textbook to the area as a whole. Each volume is designed for use alongside taught module-length topics on TESOL degrees. As a whole, the series provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject.

A 200 hour teacher education program, often heavily focused on theory and where practice is left to short field experiences cannot provide you with everything that you will need when working in a real classroom. In this book Thomas Farrell addresses two problems within TESOL teacher education – the perceived gap between theory and practice and the lack of contact with newly qualified teachers. Farrell outlines how to prepare for the realities of what you will face when beginning your career through reflective activities that include: case-based teaching, teaching metaphor analysis, critical incident analysis, and teacher identity analysis. Including data-based vignettes from diverse contexts of language teachers, you are able to gain practical insights from language teacher education courses. Whether a learner teacher or teacher educator, this book presents new insights into the reality of TESOL teacher education.

CALL and language learning have become complex and are accelerated with the arrival of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools. Bringing together experienced researchers and teacher educators from a range of contexts, this book addresses critical aspects of CALL and explores its evolution and intersection with emerging technologies. Whether a novice teacher, postgraduate student, researcher or teacher educator, this book provides inspiration and sound pedagogical examples on CALL integration.The book traces the history of CALL from its earliest behavioural iterations through to contemporary GenAI applications and covers technologies such as MOOCs, Augmented Realities and Digital Games Based Language Learning. Challenges such as technological access, pedagogical design maturity, and teacher training are critically addressed, alongside emerging intersections with GenAI. The intersection of language learning, (inter)cultural competence, and technology, and teacher education and CALL evaluation are also examined.Drawing on the concept of Festina lente, from the Latin meaning “make haste slowly”, this book advocates for the idea of balancing speed with caution, highlighting that the fastest route to success often involves thoughtful action.
