About the Book

Issues in Modern Foreign Languages Teaching draws together a range of issues in the teaching of modern foreign languages into one volume that will encourage students and newly qualified teachers to consider and reflect on the issues so that they can make a reasoned and informed judgement about their teaching of MFL. It will be relevant for students and newly qualified teachers at both primary and secondary level and will fill a gap in their knowledge due to time constraints - and an emphasis on standards - on ITT and PGCE courses.

Review :
'Teachers who want to review what has happened in the world of modern languages teaching over the past two decades will find this collection a useful starting point. - Michael Grenfell, Times Educational Supplement 'This excellent and thought-provoking book...The contributions are fully grounded in research and reflective practice, and will, one hopes, redress what Coyle refers to as the demise of foreign language learning in the previous decade", provide a vital re-injection of theory into teaching and teacher training and re-energise a jaded methodology.' - Nigel Norman, ALL Language Learning Journal
