N2  - "This is a history of the teaching of English to speakers of other languages from the Renaissance to the present day.
It starts in 1400 when English was a minority language spoken by a population of under three million and describes the long process of making the English language teachable, and the developments in language teaching theory and practice which led to the emergence of English Language Teaching (ELT) as an autonomous modern profession. This is a fully revised second edition that includes new sections on English language teaching in the Empire, and revised and additional chapters covering the period from 1900 to the present day, including topics such as ESP and the spread of English as a global language. The final chapter is an in-depth discussion of current trends in English language teaching by H.G. Widdowson." (Book Cover)
