The affordances and limitations of collaborative research in the Tesol classroom
The diversity of learning needs within the TESOL field creates inherent tensions between the need for targeted professional learning for TESOL teachers, the more generalist nature of tertiary TESOL courses, and the varied research interests of teacher educators. This article describes a collaborative research project between university-based teacher educators and TESOL teachers working in an adult education centre. With a range of aims amongst th…
A higher effort-based paradigm in physical activity and exercise for public health
It is well known that physical activity and exercise is associated with a lower risk of a range of morbidities and all-cause mortality. Further, it appears that risk reductions are greater when physical activity and/or exercise is performed at a higher intensity of effort. Why this may be the case is perhaps explained by the accumulating evidence linking physical fitness and performance outcomes (e.g. cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, and musc…

Cambridge Guide to Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages
Thomas Farrell
Two concepts currently in vogue in language teacher education are collaboration and reflection. Both are related, although reflection is probably the superordinate concept. It is possible to be reflective without collaborating, although I would argue that collaboration can greatly increase the quality of reflection. Without reflection, collaboration is of little value. Farrell covers both concepts in his book. While the focus is on reflection, co…

Exploring genre and register in contemporary English
In this article, I look at two concepts from functional linguistic that are often confused: genre and register. I look at what the concepts mean, how they differ, and how they can be used for the analysis of texts

Task-Based Language Teaching
The field of task-based language teaching has developed considerably since the publication of Designing Tasks for the Communicative Classroom (Nunan, 1989), a book which helped to set the research agenda in teaching methodology for the following decade. While Designing Tasks underpins this new title, the material has been thoroughly updated and includes four completely new chapters. Task-Based Language Teaching offers a comprehensive and up-to-da…

The study indicates that the emergence of English as a global language is having considerable impact on policies and practices in all countries surveyed. However, it also reveals significant problems, including confusion and inconsistency, at the level of policy, particularly regarding the issue of age…

English as a Global Language
N The demand for English language and English language education has increased exponentially with economic globalization. It is the language of business, technology, science, the Internet, popular entertainment, and even sports (Crystal, 1997, 2000; Graddol, 1997). In academic contexts, Swales (1987) estimates that over 50% of the millions of academic papers published each year are written in English, and the percentage is growing year by year. T…

The Limits of Collaborative Evaluation
In recent years, the literature on educational evaluation has promoted the virtues of collaborative approaches to evaluation, in which those being evaluated are seen as participants in a process rather than as subjects to be manipulated and assessed. This article describes the development of a collaborative evaluation model and its application to a curricular innovation project within the secondary school system in Hong Kong. The focus of the art…

Developing Standards for Teacher-Research in Tesol
A critical moment in the teacher-research movement came with the publication in 1975 of Stenhouse's introduction to curriculum research and development. Stenhouse argued that only when curriculum research and development belonged to teachers through a healthy teacherresearcher agenda would educational improvement emerge from it. Twenty years later, the TESOL community is beginning to respond to the call, although interest in the notion of teacher…

Closing the Gap between Learning and Instruction
In this paper, I explore the mismatch between the pedagogical intentions and plans of the educational institution, curriculum, teacher, and textbook, and the outcomes as realized through the skills and knowledge that learners take away from instructional encounters. Although there will never be a one-to-one relationship between teaching and learning, there are ways in which teachers and learners and teaching and learning can be brought closer tog…

Over the last 25 years the communicative task has emerged as a significant building block in the development of language curricula and also as an element for motivating process-oriented second language acquisition research. This paper reviews the influence of the communicative task on curriculum development and summarizes the research base for task-based language teaching. In the final part of the paper, an agenda for future research is set out. …

Using Small Groups in the Foreign‐language Classroom
Many books have been written on the value of small groups in the educational system. Most of these, using models developed in the field of social psychology, spend a great deal of time discussing group dynamics; for example, the technical problems involved in forming groups, how to handle interpersonal conflicts, the development of cooperation and the development of hierarchies, roles, etc. I propose to leave aside these theoretical issues and di…
Does Instruction Make a Difference? Revisited
M The field of second language acquisition (SLA) research has been one of ferment in recent years. Questions addressed by SLA researchers which are of interest to language teachers and applied linguists include the following: Why do learners fail to learn certain morphosyntactic items which have been explicitly (and often repeatedly) taught? Is there any evidence that teaching linguistic structures results in those structures being learned? If no…
The Learner-Centred Curriculum
Traditionally, the curriculum has been regarded as a statement of what should be done in a course of study. The Learner-Centred Curriculum takes as its starting point what is done by language teachers in their classes. Nunan develops a concept of the negotiated model in which the curriculum is a collaboration between teachers and students. The author looks at the curriculum from a teacher's perspective and reports on what instructors focus on in …
