Summary

With contributions drawn from a variety of contexts, this extensive new six-volume collection from Routledge's Major Themes in Education series, reflects the international diversity of English Language Teaching in practice. Bringing together material from a broad range of perspectives, it highlights the controversial nature of many apparent 'givens' in the field, and provides a useful balance between academic and practical insights.

With a general introduction and separate section introductions presenting the historical context for current debates and guiding users through the various issues raised in the collection, this is a highly useful resource for both student and scholar alike.
