Author Description

"Using a framework based on principles of teaching and learning, this guide for teachers and teacher trainees provides a wealth of suggestions for helping learners at all levels of proficiency develop their listening and speaking skills and fluency. By following these suggestions, which are organized around four strands-meaning-focused input, meaning-focused output, language-focused learning, and fluency development-teachers will be able to design and present a balanced programme for their students."--Jacket.
