A Dictionary of Terms and Concepts Scott Thornbury
An A–Z of ELT is a fully cross-referenced, alphabetical guide to ELT that defines and explains essential language teaching concepts and terminology from fields including grammar, linguistics, discourse analysis, phonology, etc. It describes language teaching techniques and theories and summarises the major issues and debates associated with each concept. The entries are clear, concise and readable, accessible to users with little or no specialist knowledge.
Beyond the Sentence Introducing Discourse Analysis Scott Thornbury
How do we design sentences to fit their purposes and how do we combine them to communicate complex, contextualised meanings? Beyond the Sentence takes discourse apart to show how it is organised and how it aids communication. It also shows how insights into discourse can – and should – affect our work as language teachers. The idea that we need to help students work ‘at the level of text’ as well as make correct sentences is not a new one. But here you will find suggestions – backed up by practical, fun activities – for how you can achieve this in your classroom.
Uncovering Grammar How to Help Grammar Emerge Scott Thornbury
As teachers, we often talk about ‘covering’ grammar points. Uncovering Grammar explains why it is more useful to think about how we ‘uncover’ grammar, to reveal the workings of the system to our students and encourage them to notice what is going on. The book uses extracts from exchanges in real classrooms, authentic texts and language teaching tasks. It provides lots of practical activities so that you can immediately and easily put the ideas to work in your classroom.
