| Synopsis
|
"While We're on the Topic... offers an up-to-date overview of six
principles underlying contemporary communicative language teaching.
In a conversational style, Bill VanPatten addresses principles
related to the nature of communication, the nature of language, how
language is acquired, the roles of input and interaction, tasks and
activities, and focus on form ("grammar"). Each principle is informed
by decades of research yet all are presented in a manner accessible
to veteran and novice educators alike." -Amazon website.
