The Handbook of Language Teaching cover

Bringing together an international and interdisciplinary team of contributors, this Handbook is a wide-ranging and invaluable reference guide to language teaching.

  • A comprehensive reference work on language teaching, which combines the latest research findings, coverage of core topics, and examples of teaching experience from a variety of languages and settings
  • Provides a unique breadth of coverage, including: the psycholinguistic underpinnings of language learning; social, political, and educational contexts; program design; materials writing and course design; teaching and testing; teacher education; and assessment and evaluation
  • Offers a balanced evaluation of the major positions and approaches, including examining the increasingly important social and political context of language teaching
  • Written by an international and interdisciplinary group of authors from a dozen different countries; English is only one of the many languages used as examples throughout the volume

“The Handbook offers state-of-the-art research-based analysis on what is currently known about language teaching. The inclusion of new and fast-growing issues as well as the variety of topics is indeed one of its strongest features.”  (Studies in Second Language Acquisition,2012)
