Description: |
This chapter provides the reader with the chronological development of language teaching, and its relationship to National Standards, proficiency, and bottom-up/top-down approaches to teaching. |
| Editorial Board Review: |
This is Chapter Two in TEACHER'S HANDBOOK: CONTEXTUALIZED LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION, Second Edition. Its content relates to the development of language learning from the 1960s forward, but mainly treats proficiency-oriented instruction and National Standards. It offers a case study on textbook evaluation and one on developing a top-down ESL lesson, both with significant questions and activities. |
