About the Book

This book is about how to teach English as a second language and how second language students learn. With Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) at its centre, it takes a practical approach to second language teaching backed up by clearly explained theory. Presenting eight essential principles across twelve chapters, the book covers Learner Autonomy, Social Learning, Integrated Curriculum, Meaning, Diversity, Thinking Skills, Alternative Assessment and Teacher Co-learning, and shows how technology and reflective teaching can be used to support and enhance these essentials in the classroom. Combining theory and practice, Essentials for Successful English Language Teaching explains how these principles interweave and support each other within the CLT paradigm, demonstrating why they are best implemented as a whole, rather than one at a time. Now revised and brought fully up to date, this new edition includes: - A brand new chapter covering technology and cooperation in teaching practice and how they support CLT-based activities - Vignettes for each essential principle to consolidate theory and demonstrate best practice - Updated real world examples, drawing on teaching experiences from North America, Africa and Asia Taking a 'big picture' view that assumes no prior knowledge of linguistics or language education, Essentials for Successful English Language Teaching is an energising and fun guide for language practitioners.

Review :
Essentials for Successful English Language Teaching is an important book for novice and experienced second language teachers alike. With its clear language and consistent layout, the book provides a systematic and accessible presentation of the foundations of CLT and addresses the need to develop standards for practice around CLT in second language education ... Overall, Essentials for Successful English Language Teaching proposes the kind of second language learning that recognizes students and teachers as complex, active, and agentive individuals and the second language classroom as an extension of an interconnected and fast-changing world. A helpful resource for language teachers from different educational and cultural backgrounds, ranging from mother-tongue teachers and experts in applied linguistics, to non-native teachers, to TESOL students and trainers, and graduate students in applied linguistics. With the above strengths, the accessibility of this book, and its positive lens, Farrell and Jacobs have successfully provided a resource of value not only to English language teachers, but also to the broader audience of all second language teachers. Essentials for Successful English Language Teaching’s second edition is a work whose time has come! It beautifully and skillfully guides the reader through key concepts in language teaching presented in a holistic manner. Elegantly addressing the classroom instructor’s needs, this edition focuses on classroom implications and considers perspectives of both the teacher and the student, as well as advances in technology. Do judge a book by its title! This book crafts a whole package of practical approaches on relevant theories applicable to various ESL/EFL teaching contexts. You'll find abundant of mind-awakening classroom ideas, which are extremely helpful for new teachers who are just getting their foot on the journey. This second edition offers a practical, research-based introduction to ESL and EFL teaching. It includes ten chapters detailing eight essentials and two additional chapters with technologies and shows how reflective teaching practices support CLT-based activities. It helps ESL/EFL teachers to rediscover the important reasons and objectives for learning. A remarkable book! Farrell and Jacobs are adding depth, meaning, legitimacy and value to the wondrous journey that is called second language teaching. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is teaching EFL, ESL, TESOL or English for any other specific purposes. I encourage them to embody the paradigm shift.
