"An Interactive Approach to Content-Based Second Language Teaching and Learning 1/e"

This text examines second language pedagogy from two critical fields of literature: psycholinguistics and socio-cultural, offering a fresh perspective on interactive content-based language teaching and learning. Unique in its kind, this highly practical text offers more methodological approaches to teaching in ESL settings than any other book on the market, making a perfect match for undergraduate pre-service teachers who are learning how to teach ESL students in their classrooms.

• Includes unique pedagogical features to maximize student comprehension:
  • “What Do Teachers Think? ” where classroom teachers offer a candid view of the classroom life associated with chapter topics.
  • “Field-Based Experience” offers suggestions for classroom and school setting activities; opportunities for the reader to practice what they have read.

"“This is the type of textbook that students like because the activities lead the students to think, reflect, and act. This type of critical pedagogy structure is excellent in that students do not need to react to political terms, Marxist themes and writers that have used this system. Instead the Vygotskian style of assisted learning provides guideposts just as one would hope teachers would do in the classroom.”"
