A History of English Language Teaching
A History of English Language Teaching
This book is an account of the teaching of English from
the Renaissance to the present day, made highly
readable by the author's style, overall plan, and judicious
selection from the literature.
Starting with the teaching of English as a second
language to the Huguenot refugees in Elizabethan
London, the author traces the development of English
teaching materials in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries: spelling primers, early pedagogical grammars
dialogue manuals, and so on. Later chapters deal with
the spread of ELT in Europe after 1700, the Grammar
Translation Method, 'Natural' ('direct') language
teaching methods, the work of the Reform Movement
and the vital contribution of Jones, Palmer, West,
Hornby, and others to the emergence of ELT as an
autonomous profession in the first half of the present
century. The book ends with a discussion of the impact
of applied linguistics on language teaching both in
America and in Britain, and of the origins of the
communicative approach.
