The Practice of English Language Teaching

The Practice of English Language Teaching is the essential guide for teachers of English. It explains current pedagogy to teachers who want to access the more relevant ELT practices and incorporate them into their lessons. The fifth edition has been revised to reflect the latest development in language teaching.

English language classrooms have changed greatly since the first edition of this book was published, more than thirty years ago. Advances in the technology available to teachers and students, both inside and outside the classroom, have brought about some of the most noticeable of these changes.

However, the fundamental questions of how best to teach and learn a language remain the same. This book is informed by past theory and practice and by books and articles written by teachers and researchers in recent years. It examines current issues such as the lingua franca core, teaching unplugged and the rise of digital testing and marking, amongst many others and provides a snapshot of the state of English language teaching today.

1 This research has gone some way towards teaching English by interactive methods.

2 The aim of the research is to work out an effective methodology for teaching the

English language at Uzbek schools on the basis of interactive methods in Modern English and Uzbek for linguodidactic purposes. The research focuses on structural-semantic features of teaching English in Modern English and Uzbek for purpose of creating effective strategies for teaching the English language by new ways at Uzbek schools.

3 There is no doubt that English has become a universal language. Nowadays, English

is used by at least one billion people around the world, either as a first or as a second

language. Therefore, it is very much considerable to me to be a professional teacher who

is aware of the modern methods of teaching English language as a foreign language. No

one can ignore the need and the value of methods for teaching English as a foreign language

or even as a second language. Students are different in their needs. Some students learn

visually, others orally; others have shorter attention skills and all come from different

backgrounds. To meet all their needs. it is necessary to use a wide range of methods. Some

methods teacher may do with the help of different resources or create them by alone based

at teaching experience.

Teaching English as a Foreign Language is vital especally in the developing

countries in which English is considered to be a foreign language

4 Interactive means that people work together and have an

influence on each other. This situation implies dialogue or
conversation. Therefore, these methods are aimed at the
interaction between not only students and the teacher but also
with each other, it requires an active role of students in the
learning process

5 The interactive method appeared in 1990. The interactive learning makes the process of learning
productive that can be called a special form of organization of cognitive activities. It concerns very
specific and predictable objectives. One of these is to create a comfortable learning environment in which
learners feel their success, their intellectual consistency of training.

6 Interactive teaching has always been one of the most controversial aspects of language teaching. Till these days teaching English traditionally was one of the main subjects

in the sphere of linguistics and had been taught in traditional way that is teaching it through

rules. Nowadays it's evident that teaching by interactive principles has become more

efficient in the process of teaching.
