Description
This text is about what really happens in language classrooms. This paperback edition is about what really happens in language classrooms, both those in which language is the topic of instruction and those where it functions primarily as the medium of instruction. In this collection of 19 original papers, the authors utilize a variety of research methods, with an emphasis on the collection and analysis of data. Chapters investigate such issues as language-related anxiety, curriculum renewal, classroom interaction, teachers' on-line decision-making, and sociopolitical concerns affecting life in schools.
Reviews'None of the papers in this collection has been previously published elsewhere, which leads to a feeling of freshness about this collection, and a striking feature is the honesty with which some of the writers discuss the trials and tribulations of the naturalistic research process.' 'The book is also highly recommended for language teachers who wish to reflect on their own classrooms and gain affirmation of the important but often unrecognised work they do.' VATME Newsletter No 74, 1997
