Language As Discourse: Perspectives for Language Teaching
In this book Michael McCarthy and Ronald Carter describe the discoursal properties of language and demonstrate what insights this approach can offer to the student and teacher of language. The authors examine the relationship between complete texts, both spoken and written, and the social and cultural contexts in which they function. They argue that the functions of language are often best understood in a discoursal environment and that exploring language in context compels us to revise commonly-held understandings about the forms and meanings of language.
Discourse (Language Teaching: A Scheme for Teacher Education)
Discourse analysis - the study of spoken and written language in its social and psychological context - can provide important insights for the language teacher. "Discourse" explains the relevant theory and applies it to classroom activities designed to improve students' discourse skills. The teacher is then shown how these activities may be further developed in specific teaching situations.
