Language Teaching: A Scheme for Teacher Education

by C. N. CANDLIN H. G. WIDDOWSON GUY COOK

Discourse analysis - the study of spoken and written language in its social and psychological context - can provide important insights for the language teacher. Discourse explains the relevant theory and applies it to classroom activities designed to improve students' discourse skills. The teacher is then shown how these activities may be further developed in specific teaching situations.

It helped me get an A on my final exam presentation.

Read for Delta M2, essential for succeeding the eponymous LSA. The subject in itself is fascinating if you're into this kind of thing, and if you're also a language geek, then you will find it so!

Almost not relevant for modern teaching.
