Heike Neumann's review of Teaching ESL/EFL Reading and Writing
نویسنده
چکیده
Teaching ESL/EFL Reading and Writing by Paul Nation is written for in-service and future teachers who want to learn more about encouraging their students’ development of reading and writing skills in classrooms of English as a second language (ESL) or English as a foreign language (EFL). It has been conceived and used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses of teaching methods. It offers practical suggestions for the classroom. It is also helpful in the development of new, or the improvement of existing, reading and writing programs. In conjunction with its companion book, Teaching ESL/EFL Listening and Speaking (Nation & Newton, 2008), the book could be used for a comprehensive course of ESL or EFL teaching methods, although Teaching ESL/EFL Reading and Writing can also be used on its own.
