Description
This text provides teachers with the practical knowledge and skills necessary for the effective management of teaching and learning in today's classrooms. The paperback edition focuses on the independent decisions teachers must make in key areas such as lesson planning, group work, error correction, resource management, and evaluation. The text uses a task-based approach, and the material presented is well supported by theory and research. Advances in second language teaching methodology, including new emphases on learner centeredness and individualized instruction, have significantly changed the roles teachers play in the classroom and made ever-greater demands on their classroom management skills. Nunan and Lamb help language teachers to meet these new demands by providing them with the practical knowledge and skills necessary for the effective management of teaching and learning in today's classrooms.
Reviews'The Self-Directed Teacher is the latest addition to the authoritative and well-researched Cambridge Language Education series ... Like other volumes in this series, The Self-Directed Teacher is written in a practical, readable style, major points being reinforced by skillful repetition ... It is a welcome resource for teachers, and those becoming teachers, in considering the skills and knowledge necessary in taking effective control of the teaching and learning processes in their classrooms.' TESOL, 1996
