English Language Teaching: Approaches and Methodologies by Navita Arora

About the book

Teaching of English language as second language provides a career for millions of teachers in India. The vast educational opportunities existing in the field of English language teaching could not operate effectively without the dedicated efforts of such teachers dedicated for the cause.

Maintaining the interest, creativity, and enthusiasm of experienced language teachers in their profession is one of the challenges faced by program coordinators and teacher-educators. To overcome this challenge, teachers need to expand their roles and responsibilities over time if they are to continue to find language teaching rewarding.

The field of language teaching is subject to rapid changes, as the profession responds to new educational trends as a result of changes in curriculum, and needs of the learners. As a result, teachers need regular opportunities to update their skills for professional development.

English Language Teaching: Approaches and Methodologies provides an overview of current approaches to professional development for language teachers, particularly for those new to teaching or those who seek opportunities for in-service teacher education.
