The 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)
Professor 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
This small book contains notes for lectures given by the author, and even propositions for student exercises.
Ezra Pound's comments on language, poetry, drama and music are very astute and actual.
