This multidisciplinary volume is a systematic, well-researched resource to help understand the methods and techniques of teaching English as a second language. It integrates theory with praxis, drawing on the Cognitivist–Social interactionist theory and Constructivist approaches adopted in an English classroom. It provides insights into recent trends in teaching, given the changed teaching–learning scenario in education, while simultaneously aiding in the development of the 4IR skills much needed in the 21st century.
Written in an easy-to-understand language, the book expounds on various language skills and their application in real-world classrooms. These classroom-tested techniques can be used by teachers by modifying the context in which they are used. The tasks help develop critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities in learners. The techniques and practices elucidated in the book are designed to be accessible to a global readership.
This book will be useful to students, pre-service teachers, and researchers, who are new to the teaching of English Language. It will also be an essential companion to practicing in-service teachers and Teacher Trainers to further sharpen their concepts and skills.
