N2  - "Earl Stevick is one of the most respected contemporary writers on the theory and practice of foreign language teaching. In this important new book he develops his argument that learning a language depends on 'what goes on inside and between the people in the classroom'. First he presents a non-technical account of how teacher and students interact, and of how the mind deals with foreign language data. Then he describes a wide range of techniques he has used and discusses their advantages and disadvantages, always encouraging teachers to make their own choices. The closing chapters provide a brief introduction to what teachers need to know about grammar and phonology. This is a readable and down-to-earth book by one of the leading authorities of our day about the 'why' as well as the 'how to' of language teaching." (Book Cover)
