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"
