Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching Paperback – 16 April 2014

Probably one of the best text books I've ever bought. I use it for my Teaching English as a Foreign Language module and it's very informative without being overly complex

Hope I can read it and memorize all

Very nice and organised documentation of approaches and methods in chronological order. It all makes better sense now

Very good

It is a great book for ELT professionals.

Very useful for teaching and learning.

Good

The authors are considered an authority on this subject and provide some useful insights. Sadly, in many cases they make unsupported claims about methods. It's a shame as it makes it impossible to check the validity of the claims. Secondly, they include whacky humanistic methods for 'historical record'. This gives them license to reproduce the uncritical sections from previous editions. Modern methods like 'dogme' are missing and approaches with little or no credibility, like MI theory are included.
