A good overview, but light on critical analysis.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a great introduction to all of the various methods of teaching foreign languages. The author writes clearly about what kind of principles and ideas form the foundation of various methods and approaches. She details which theories of language and learning and which goals are deemed important by proponents of each method. She describes a typical lesson in different settings around the world for each chapter and method which becomes the core of each chapter.

Although an easy and informative read, I found that the author was incredibly reluctant to make any criticism or praise on any of the methods. I would have found this book more useful if the author had brought to light what criticisms have been made of each method and if possible what its proponents have said in defending it. Also it would have been especially nice to hear about what research has been done (if applicable) on the efficacy of each method.

The author claims that the aim of the book is to inform teachers about other methods and the principles that undermine them, so that readers can make use of these in a 'principally eclectic' way. So I can see why she avoided critically undermining the approaches introduced in the book. However, I feel that my own ability to make these choices would have been enhanced by a more critical analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

It's a solid introduction for beginners, but definitely left me wanting more.

Highly useful resource

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

This was the required text for an online course that I recently took. The outstanding feature was the approach to exemplifying and clarifying each of the teaching methods treated. Each chapter presented a narrative of the actual happenings in a class where a given method was in use. This was followed by a chart which paired the specific teaching actions to an underlying principle. The end of each chapter was a series of 10 questions, particularly relevant to the TESOL situation (i.e: What are the goals? How is culture viewed? How are errors dealt with?, What is the role of students' native language?). This approach makes the key information and concepts more likely to be understood and remembered, without 'watering down' any of the subject matter.

each chapter is quite comprehensible and easy to understand

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 7, 2017

use it as my textbook! each chapter is quite comprehensible and easy to understand!
Each chapter begins as an observation class using different teaching method, including CLT, ALM, Direct method, the Silent Way and desuggestopedia and others. And it has discussed how to implement these methods into your class because the descriptions are quite detailed. It also talks about the role of teachers and students, culture-specific teaching practice, the role of native language, and the most outstanding features of each method.

overall, i like it very much and definitely want to add it to my own library.

This book explains methods used for language teaching and learning. I’ve been a language teacher for 13 years and I found the content of the book basic. I recommend the book to any novice teachers or anyone starting ESL/ELL teaching. If you’re an experienced language teacher, I think this book it is not for you.

I received the book in good condition.

Good, Clear Explanation of Teaching Techniques

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a required reading for one of my graduate classes called "Intro. to Language Teaching Methods." It nicely complements the online readings that are also for this class. The descriptions of the teaching methods are thorough, but at the same time, the language is simple and easy to understand (not what you expect in a grad class!). For each technique, there is an in-depth example of a lesson taught using that method. It's a good book to read if you want an overview of many of the past and current language teaching techniques. I've come across several interesting activities that I can integrate into my classroom.

I'm making a career switch to teaching a foreign language and this was one of the required readings for a course. This is one of the worst text books I've read. Each chapter introduces a new concept, but the concept is never explained. Instead the chapter is filled with useless, painfully detailed examples that supposedly illustrates the concept. It's a good thing Google exists because I'm doing my own research on each technique just to understand the concept. Writing papers using this book as a reference is going to be extremely difficult as I'm not actually learning anything from it.

The book content is great and it's explained in a very understandable way. I love it...

Only problem, the conditions of the book I recived. It was scratched from the front, the pages look a bit dirty and it has some folds and dents. I'm pretty sure it was used.

I thought I was buying a brand new book.
