Teaching English as Second Language

These classroom-tested techniques can be used by teachers by modifying the context in which they are used. The tasks help develop critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities in learners. The techniques and practices elucidated in the book are designed to be accessible to a global readership. This book will be useful to students, pre-service teachers, and researchers, who are new to the teaching of English Language.
