Language Teaching

Résumé du livre

"Here is a clear discussion of the theory and application of structural linguistics for the teacher of foreign languages and of English as a foreign language. This is the first book to incorporate a modern theory of second language learning, a scientifically directed set of principles and techniques for the teaching of a foreign language, and a description and a discussion of the use of such technological aids as the language laboratory, visual aids, teaching machines, and programmed learning. The author, a linguistic authority and acknowledged specialist in classroom methods and procedures, combines the three main streams of progress in language teaching; the contribution of linguistics, the advances in learning theory, and the development of tape recorders and language laboratories. The result is a major contribution to language teaching."--Publisher.
