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

A Communicative Grammar of English (1st edition) by Geoffrey Leech and Jan Svartvik, first published in 1975, has established itself as a grammar innovative in approach, reliable in coverage, and clear in its explanations. It is one of the best books on grammar ever written and still provides an up-to-date and accessible resource for teachers, advanced learners and undergraduate students of English. A Communicative Grammar of English employs a communicative rather than a structural approach to the learning of English grammar. This edition is divided into three parts. Part One: Varieties of English , looks at the way English grammar varies in different types of English, for example 'formal' and 'informal', 'spoken' and 'written'. Part Two: Intonation. Part Three: Grammar in use - the central and largest part of the book, presents grammar through the eyes of the communicator and focuses on the uses of grammar rather than on grammatical structure. Part Four: Grammatical Compendium - provides a useful and alphabetically arranged guide to English grammar.
