English Language Teaching: Approaches, Methods, Techniques provides a comprehensive overview of the principles underlying language teaching—and the ways of translating them into practice when teaching English.

Part 1 looks at the different approaches and methods that have influenced language teaching and ELT materials production over the years. Part 2 discusses techniques and teaching aids that can optimise the teacher’s efforts in the classroom. It also outlines the testing criteria and procedures that help the teacher to accurately evaluate a learner’s progress. This revised third edition updates readers on the increased use of digital tools and platforms as teaching and learning aids.
