Language in Context in TESOL

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - EDINBURGH TEXTBOOKS IN TESOL Series Editors: Joan Cutting and Fiona Farr This series of advanced textbooks in TESOL comprises individual volumes addressing an identifiable subfield within TESOL in more depth than would be found in an introductory textbook to the area as a whole. Each volume is designed for use alongside taught module-length topics on TESOL degrees and emphasises intercultural awareness and the practical applications of theory. Language in Context in TESOL explores the many uses of English around the world, focusing on the way that meaning can be context-dependent and often implied. Covering basic approaches to linguistic analysis such as Conversation Analysis and Exchange Structure, Speech Act Theory, the Cooperative Principle and Politeness Theories, and using authentic language as it occurs in everyday life, this volume guides the reader towards an understanding of ELT methodology, curriculum, courses and materials in terms of Global Englishes, and how these findings can be applied to English Language Teaching. Filled with tasks that can be carried out individually or in small groups, as well as independently outside the classroom, Language in Context in TESOL takes into account the variations in physical and economic conditions in ELT classrooms worldwide. Tasks include examples from classrooms around the world, encouraging comparisons across cultures and guiding readers as they adapt suggestions to their own educational requirements. As well as a practical guide for TESOL student and practicing teachers, this accessible and innovative book provides an invaluable introductory approach to linguistics as a whole. Joan Cutting is a Senior Lecturer in TESOL at the University of Edinburgh, and co-editor of the Edinburgh Textbooks in TESOL series (Edinburgh University Press). Includes contributions from Florence Bonacina-Pugh, Kenneth Fordyce, Nicola Galloway and Eleni Mariou. Artikel-Nr. 9780748642816
