Defining Issues in English Language Teaching by Henry G Widdowson

This book goes back to basics by investigating fundamental assumptions about the way English should be defined and taught as a school subject. It looks at different attitudes to English, and developments in its description, and it critically examines current proposals for the specification of course content and classroom methodology, with particular reference to ideas about authenticity and task-based learning.
'Not as intimidating as some larger academic works, and is well worth reading simply out of interest and for the sheer pleasure of reading well-written and reasoned argument'
'I found the entire book both interesting and informative.' * Kaithe Green, TEFL.net. Feb 2005 *
