Explorations in Applied Linguistics 2
57
 
 

Explorations in Applied Linguistics 2The papers in this collection are further enquiries into issues raised by Professor Henry Widdowson in Explorations in Applied Linguistics.

The papers range from descriptive to pedagogic issues and they are concerned with the formulation of a relevant model of language which will serve as a source of reference for a principled approach to language teaching.

There are six sections:

  • Theory and practice (Chapters 1-3)
  • Discourse: the use of written language (Chapters 4-7)
  • Discourse: schema, procedure, and sign (Chapters 8-9)
  • The use of literature (Chapters 10-12)
  • English for specific purposes (Chapters 13-15)
  • Communicative language teaching (Chapters 16-18)

Explorations in Applied LinguisticsProfessor Henry Widdowson's collection of papers covers a range of theoretical and practical aspects of communicative language teaching.

In recent years there has been growing recognition of Professor Widdowson's major contribution to the study of communicative language teaching. This collection of papers, published together for the first time, shows the development of Widdowson's thinking. The papers, which range from theoretical discussion to classroom practice, are not intended to be prescriptive, nor do they try to provide conclusive arguments. Rather they invite the reader to explore ideas, to consider the practical implications of certain theoretical developments, and to examine his own assumptions more closely.

This volume bridges the gap between the theoretical and practical aspects of communicative language teaching, and Professor Widdowson's clear and original treatment of the subject will appeal to both teachers and applied linguists

Christian Douglas Kozłowska

Książka przeznaczona jest dla osób studiujących i używających języka angielskiego, a  dotyczy jednego z najtrudniejszych dla Polaków problemów:  użycia lub opuszczenia przedimka.   Zasady podane w książce ilustrowane są cytatami z tekstów angielskich.  Poznanie zasad użycia przedimków  ułatwiają również przykłady w języku polskim  i ich angielskie ekwiwalenty. Książka zawiera ćwiczenia kontrolne wraz z kluczem,  przez co może być przydatna także w autodydaktyce.

This book is specially suitable  for Polish-speaking students, though most of the explanations and examples are given in English.
