Book excerpt: Language teaching approaches, methods and procedures are constantly undergoing reassessment. New ideas keep emerging as the growing complexity of the means of communication and the opportunities created by technology put language skills to new uses. In addition, the political, social and economic impact of globalisation, the new demands of the labour market that result from it, the pursuit of competitiveness, the challenges of intercultural communication and the diversification of culture have opened new perspectives on the central role that foreign languages have come to play in the development of contemporary societies. This book provides an insight into the latest developments in the field and discusses the new trends in foreign language teaching in four major areas, namely methods and approaches, teacher training, innovation in the classroom, and evaluation and assessment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of an international conference of language teaching experts held under the auspices of the unesco institute of education in hamburg, Germany, April 9-14, 1962, reviews the whole problem of second language learning at the primary stage of education, and identifies the pertinent, related fields in need of further research. Following a brief discussion of arguments for early second language learning, it surveys extensively the results of practical experience and physiological and psycho-educational research that strengthen the argument for an early start. In the final section of general recommendations for introducing a language in primary schools, are discussions of such problems as policy and planning needs, teacher and student requirements, and course content, methodology, materials, continuity, and cost. Also noted there, for those undertaking research, are the consideration of variables in learning situations, the need for theoretical background from related disciplines, and a list of specific problems. The four appendixes that precede an extensive bibliography contain a list of participants, a summary of primary school language teaching, a case study of bilingualism, and notes on documentation and reports. This document is available for $2.50 from the unesco publications center, 317 east 34 street, New York City, New York, 10016. (ab).
