Teaching Unplugged: Dogme in English Language Teaching

Teaching Unplugged contains three distinctive parts A, B and C which focus in turn on theory, practice and development:

A:

• A background to the ideas behind teaching unplugged.
• A detailed explanation of the core principles behind Dogme ELT.
• An invitation to reflect on the best way to learn a language and, consequently, to teach it.

B:

• A bank of activities that teachers can use right away and which help them ‘unplug their teaching’ from the start.
• Activities that involve little or no preparation, often requiring no more than pen, paper and the people in the room.
• Tips, techniques and key terms to facilitate a new approach to teaching.

C:

• A reflection on questions relating to how Dogme ELT can be applied in different teaching contexts.
• An in-depth examination of the issues and implications of adopting this new style of teaching. m+m+m
