Changing Methodologies in TESOL by Jane Spiro in EPUB, MOBI, FB2
9780748646197 English 0748646191 Introduces core concepts in methods and teaching approachesCovering 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., This series of advanced textbooks in TESOL comprises individual volumes addressing an identifiable subfield within TESOL in more depth than would be found in an introductory textbook to the area as a whole. Each volume is designed for use alongside taught module-length topics on TESOL degrees and emphasizes intercultural awareness and the practical applications of theory. How is the English language experienced, taught and learnt internationally in the twenty-first century? How do TESOL teachers' methodologies take account of the learner, changes to the language and theories of how languages are learnt? Changing Methodologies in TESOL explores the way our ideas about language, teaching and learning have changed as a result of changes in the wider world. Recognising that language is not only learnt in the classroom but at home, on the street and through cyberspace, this practical and accessible book helps the student teacher to negotiate the multiple factors involved in teaching English to speakers of other languages. Packed full of discussions, case studies, investigative classroom exercises, reading activities and links to online resources, Changing Methodologies in TESOL is an invaluable practical guide and resource for TESOL students, student teachers and practising teachers. Further and guided reading for each topic and chapter are available on the book's webpage: www.euppublishing.com/page/TESOL/AdditionalResources/Spiro. Book jacket., This textbook connects research to practice in TESOL methodology and is the first to demonstrate TESOL methods in multiple global contexts. Covering core topics from vocabulary and grammar to teaching, writing, speaking, and listening, the volume emphasizes contemporary interpretations and their effect on language classrooms worldwide. It also investigates the meaning of "methods" and "methodology" and their influence on teaching while confronting the underlying assumptions and beliefs shaping a teacher's work. In its examination of different approaches to language teaching, the volume explores the development of these methods in relation to common understandings of language, learning technologies, learners, and their sociocultural context. The volume covers three main areas in TESOL study: the impact of learner needs; language context and culture; learning and teaching approaches; knowledge of language and its impact on methods, from individual words to whole texts; and multiple literacies and competences for modern-day scenarios, including academic and web literacy and sociocultural and intercultural competence. This text also follows the influence of world Englishes on teaching strategies and methods, as well as approaches to grammar and learner development. Designed specifically for students of TESOL teaching, each chapter deploys global case studies of English teaching to illustrate core principles along with guided assignments, such as article critique, case study analysis, and small-scale classroom research.
