Interpreting Communicative Language Teaching: Contexts and Concerns in Teacher Education

Sandra J. Savignon

4.9/5 (32947 ratings)

Description:The emergence of English as a global language, along with technological innovations and the growing need for learner autonomy, is changing language teaching rapidly and profoundly. With these changes come new demands and challenges for teaching education programmes. This collection of writings highlights some of the work being done in the United States and abroad to make communicative competence an attainable goal. The contributors examine what has come to be known as communicative language teaching, or CLT, from the perspectives of teachers and teacher educators. The work documents reform initiatives in Japan, the United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan and continental Europe to provide a global perspective on language teaching for communicative competence. Four major themes recur throughout the volume: the multifaceted nature of language teaching; the highly contextualized nature of CLT; the futility of defining a native speaker in the postcolonial, postmodern world; and the overwhelming influence of high-stakes tests on language teaching. This text should be a useful tool for language teachers, teacher educators, and policymakers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
