Aimed at students with no background in the area and taking a task-based approach, this thoroughly revised fourth edition:
- introduces the theoretical and practical aspects of both learning and teaching, and provides discussion and workshop activities throughout each chapter of the book, along with further reading and reflection tasks;
- deals with classroom- and task-based teaching, including content-based instruction and content and language integrated learning. It also covers lesson planning and testing, making the book suitable for use on practical training courses;
- analyses different learning styles and suggests strategies to improve language acquisition;
- introduces discussions about technology supported (GenAI) foreign language teaching and learning;
- includes examples from foreign language learning in Russian, French, Danish, and German, as well as English.
Written by experienced teachers and authors, An Introduction to Foreign Language Learning and Teaching is essential reading for students beginning their study in the area, as well as teachers in training and those already working in the field.
