M ethodology texts currently available make too many assumptions about the background knowledge o f their readership. The authors o f the chapters in this b ook keep such assumptions to a minimum. This is not to say that the concepts underlying the chapters are dealt with in a trivial manner. Rather they are given an accessible treatment which is richly supported by teaching materials and ideas, and illustrative extracts from a wide range o f classrooms. Practical English Language Teaching consists o f three sections: Exploring skills, Exploring language, and Supporting the learning process. The first main section, Exploring skills, begins with an introductory chapter that defines and illustrates the concept o f m ethodology.
The next four chapters introduce the four key “macroskills” o f listening, speaking, reading and writing.
