The Tasks in this book are designed to stimulate discussion of key issues related to language teaching and learning. The topics range from the ture and processes of language learning to specific materials and techniques for use by teachers. The book contains 40 Tasks, of two types. The Discussion Tasks allow users to examine general principles and issues in the context of their specific teaching circumstances, and to exchange ideas. The Classroom-based Tasks provide a practical framework for small-scale classroom research - testing out ideas, assumptions and hypotheses in the context of specific classes and learners.
