Teaching Practice A Handbook for Teachers in Training(TB)
Teaching Practice is for teachers and trainers on pre-service training courses. It provides a task-based approach to making the most of teaching practice.
The movement for learner independence springs from the powerful yet commonsense perception that it is learners who do the learning. (Teachers, however good, cannot do it for them.) It is strengthened by the further observation that every learner is different from every other learner. Disillusionment with ‘lockstep’ teaching and the development of a communicative/humanistic teaching philosophy which has shifted the focus from teachers to learners have given added impetus to the movement.

Literature (Resource Books for Teachers)
The role of literature in language teaching has been variously interpreted over the past 100 years. In an earlier period, when the grammar-translation model was paramount, literary texts were the very staple of foreign language teaching, representing both models of good writing and illustrations of the grammatical rules of the language.During the period of structural dominance, literature found itself side-lined. The formal properties of the language took precedence, and literature study was seen as part of the bad old ‘traditional’ methods.
