Series: Routledge Handbooks in Applied Linguistics

The Routledge Handbook of English Language Teaching is the definitive reference volume for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students of Applied Linguistics, ELT/TESOL, and Language Teacher Education, and for ELT professionals engaged in in-service teacher development and/or undertaking academic study.

Progressing from ‘broader’ contextual issues to a ‘narrower’ focus on classrooms and classroom discourse, the volume’s interrelated themes focus on:

• ELT in the world: contexts and goals

• planning and organising ELT: curriculum, resources and settings

• methods and methodology: perspectives and practices

• second language learning and learners

• teaching language: knowledge, skills and pedagogy

• understanding the language classroom.

The Handbook’s 39 chapters are written by leading figures in ELT from around the world. Mindful of the diverse pedagogical, institutional and social contexts for ELT, they convincingly present the key issues, areas of debate and dispute, and likely future developments in ELT from an applied linguistics perspective.

Throughout the volume, readers are encouraged to develop their own thinking and practice in contextually appropriate ways, assisted by discussion questions and suggestions for further reading that accompany every chapter.

Reviews for The Routledge Handbook of English Language Teaching

"'English language teaching (ELT) is now an immensely complex field of research and practice. This volume admirably captures the scope of the major themes that must now underpin informed ELT. Researchers, teacher educators and teachers alike will gain immensely from being able to refer to such a comprehensive and authoritative collection.' Anne Burns, University of New South Wales, Australia 'Suitable for all readers looking to enhance their academic, professional and practical skills, this eclectic collection will provide much-needed material and inspiration.' Maja Milatovic, ANU College, Canberra, Australia, English Australia Journal '... it will also no doubt, stimulate professional and academic reflection on the key issues facing ELT. I for one will be certainly using this Handbook with my post-graduate students although even undergraduates in the field of language would benefit considerably.' J.A. Foley, Assumption University, Thailand 'The editor of the volume has lined up an impressive array of accomplished scholars to help him do justice to the formidable task he has set himself to do. And, to be sure, the outcome is a truly great volume of papers of encyclopedic proportions that provides the reader with an up-to-date survey of key areas of research, both historically and currently of interest, to myriads of ELT professionals as well as other interested researchers in the field of applied linguistics.' Kanavillil Rajagopalan, Word ""... there is a lot that is edgy, informative, enlightening— and challenging. I especially like the discussion questions, related topics and further readings sections which, together with the references, end each article. This makes this ‘handbook’ a fantastic jumping-off point for further study and connection-making."" Jeremy Harmer, ELT Journal, Volume 73, Issue 3, July 2019"
