Teaching and Learning the English Language

Offering a solid, research-based approach along with sound practical advice, this book equips you with the skills you need to analyse your own contexts and develop your practice, whether through formal study or alone.

Teaching and Learning the English Language by Dr Richard Badger explores teaching English as a problem-solving activity addressing three fundamental questions: what aspect of language do students need to learn, how do they learn it, and how can teachers support this learning.

This new edition includes updated references, a chapter on pragmatics, and coverage of concepts such as translanguaging, CLIL, EMI, English as a lingua franca, and sections on digital learning.

Topics covered include:

• Psychological and social learning processes
• TESOL teaching methods and approaches
• Lesson planning and classroom management
• English teacher professional development

The book also includes chapter summaries, activities for students, key readings recommendations, and online resources such as video case studies, additional exercises, and multiple choice quizzes to consolidate learning.

The book is ideal for both trainee and practising teachers who want to develop their practice.
