The Practice of English Language Teaching is the essential guide for teachers of English. It explains current pedagogy to teachers who want to access the more relevant ELT practices and incorporate them into their lessons. The fifth edition has been revised to reflect the latest development in language teaching.
English language classrooms have changed greatly since the first edition of this book was published, more than thirty years ago. Advances in the technology available to teachers and students, both inside and outside the classroom, have brought about some of the most noticeable of these changes.
However, the fundamental questions of how best to teach and learn a language remain the same. This book is informed by past theory and practice and by books and articles written by teachers and researchers in recent years. It examines current issues such as the lingua franca core, teaching unplugged and the rise of digital testing and marking, amongst many others and provides a snapshot of the state of English language teaching today.

The Practice of English Language Teaching includes:
• English as a world language
• Theories of language and language learning
• Learner characteristics which influence teacher decisions
• Guidance on managing learning
• Teaching language systems (grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation)
• Teaching language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading)
• Practical teaching ideas
• The role of technology (old and new) in the classroom
• Assessment for language learning in the digital age

This was used in a 2020 class and was the exact edition the teacher requested. The material is STALE to say the least, but what can you REALLY do if that is the book the teacher chooses. Over all, it served its purpose, came brand new, had the CD, and arrived when it said it would. No complaints, but no rave review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful book teaching English as a second language
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2016
Verified Purchase
My book came in a great condition, brand new. It was wrapped in it's original film wrap and placed in one of those thick yellow envelop.

The book is really helpful if you read through most of it, which is what I had to do for my TESOL program. It provides lots of examples and ideas of how to approach certain teaching methods or classroom problems/management.

All in all, you will not regret buying this book and learning how to teach the English language.

Questo libro contiene tutto ciò che un insegnante di inglese deve sapere per l'insegnamento della lingua a diverse categorie di discenti. Nonostante sia in lingua è chiaro, contiene esempi e se preso nelle edizioni aggiornate è sempre a passo con i tempi.
Ottimo per chi vuole conoscere di più sull'argomento e, perché no, anche per preparare concorsi della cattedra di riferimento.
