Methodology in Language Teaching edited by Jack C. Richards & Willy A. Renandya,
By
This review is from: Methodology in Language Teaching: An Anthology of Current Practice (Paperback)
As a long-time English teacher teaching English as a Foreign Language, I have used several methodology textbooks. I have long been looking for one book that answers some of my persisting pedagogical questions. I have found answers to those questions in the succinct articles of this anthology. In particular, I have found the following sections immensely useful and refreshing to read: section 1 (Approaches to Teaching); section 5 (Task and Project Work); section 13 (Teaching Writing); section 15 (Technologies in the Classroom); and section 16 (Professional Development). I use this book as a source to inform my current teaching of Technical Communication and other writing courses, and professional growth and development.

This review is from: Methodology in Language Teaching: An Anthology of Current Practice (Paperback)
Each short chapter provides a different point of view on a variety of topics relevant to language teaching. It definitely does not drag on and on, making it very readable.
