Context and culture language teachi - and learning

Informationen zum Autor Michael Byram and Peter Grundy have both worked in language teaching for many years at the University of Durham. Their interests in foreign language teaching in Britain and Europe, and in the teaching of English worldwide, complement each other and bridge the gap which often exists between ELT and other languages. They have cooperated to bring together researchers from several European countries and the USA in an endeavour to raise the awareness of the profession concerning the socio-political, cultural and psychological contexts in which language teaching and learning takes place; classrooms are not insulated from the world. Klappentext The forces of globalisation and internationalisation influence the role and significance of language teaching and learning in classrooms. This affects the ways in which English is taught and learnt. This book explores the ways in which the contexts in which language teaching takes place impact on the aims and the methods of language teaching.
