Critical Issues in ELT. This item is unavailable.Critical Issues in ELT

ELT, a vast and growing field of research, has now moved beyond primary concerns related to developing learners’ proficiency in the language and designing curricula, syllabi, materials and assessment tools. It is witnessing rapid development towards de-centralizing and de-elitizing English, promoting multilingual approaches for teaching English and bridging the gap between language-in-education policies and practices.

Critical Issues in ELT compiles research papers by linguists, language teachers, and English language teaching professionals to present contemporary debates on critical issues related to English language teaching, primarily in India. The subject matter of this book includes a variety of articles based on empirical data. It discusses the challenges facing ELT today and also includes papers discussing theoretical positions/frameworks/issues in ELT, classroom-based action research projects, and personal narratives.
