Each volume is designed for use alongside taught module-length topics on TESOL degrees and emphasises intercultural awareness and the practical applications of theory. CHANGING METHODOLOGIES IN TESOL Jane Spiro 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.
