505 _a“In this volume Peter Strevens has gathered together a number of his papers and added several new ones to give coherence to the whole. The result is a much-needed survey of the present state of the English language teaching profession, both in Britain and America, how it is changing and where it is going.
505 _aThe collection is arranged in five parts which cover, among other subjects, English for special purposes, teacher training and the use of the language laboratory. It includes a lucid, comparative account of methodology in Britain and America as well as an important new model for the language learning/teaching process. Besides being of importance for teachers, students of applied linguistics and educationalists, the book will help anyone who needs to know more about the differences and similarities between British and American methods.
505 _aPeter Strevens is well known for his valuable contributions to phonetics, language teaching methodology and applied linguistics. He has wide experience of practical teaching situations from his work in many overseas countries and in the Universities of London, Edinburgh, Leeds and Essex. He has recently been made a Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge.” (Back cover)
