Anderson, Jason – ELT Journal, 2017
This article charts the chequered history of the PPP model (Presentation, Practice, Production) in English language teaching, told partly through reference to articles in "ELT Journal." As well as documenting its origins at the dawn of communicative language teaching (and not in audiolingual approaches, as some have suggested), I chart…

Pang, May – ELT Journal, 2016
Jason Anderson's proposal, in "ELT Journal" (2015), for an affordance-based approach to lesson planning raises important issues in teacher education. However, his arguments against the role of planned outcomes in favour of an affordance-based focus using learning opportunities as units of planning fail to acknowledge the complexities…

Martinez, Ron – ELT Journal, 2013
There is little disagreement that multi-word expressions should feature in L2 pedagogy. Rather less agreement seems to exist, however, regarding which items should be included, and why. Two important properties of multi-word expressions--frequency and semantic opacity--are discussed, and a model that translates those concepts into a visual…

Sowden, Colin – ELT Journal, 2012
In an effort to curtail native-speaker dominance of global English, and in recognition of the growing role of the language among non-native speakers from different first-language backgrounds, some academics have been urging the teaching of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). Although at first this proposal seems to offer a plausible alternative to…

Ryder, Jane – ELT Journal, 2012
Educationalist Fred Korthagen elaborated a model in the 1980s for the relationship between the teacher educator and the teacher which embraces reflective practice as its guiding principle. In the present study, research was carried out into teacher development among a small group of language teachers working in continuing education in France.…

Brown, Amanda; Ruiz, Heather – ELT Journal, 2017
Explicit and implicit discrimination against so-called non-native English-speaking teachers of English (NNESTs) continues to exist in professional TESOL contexts; however, inequities may emerge earlier, for example in TESOL preparation programme practicums, where the participation of NNESTs may be hindered, restricted, or even excluded. This…

Marshall, Helaine W.; DeCapua, Andrea – ELT Journal, 2010
The Newcomer Booklet has become a popular classroom activity among ESL teachers at many different levels and with many types of learners. In this article, we explore why this is the case and why this type of project works so well for a particular population of English language learners, those with limited or interrupted formal schooling. We…

Sayer, Peter – ELT Journal, 2010
This article discusses the idea of linguistic landscape and describes a small-scale research project undertaken in a local EFL community in Mexico using public signs to analyse the social meanings of English. The author presents a framework that distinguishes between intercultural and intracultural uses, as well as iconic and innovative uses of…

McConachy, Troy – ELT Journal, 2009
Despite long-standing recognition of the importance of sociocultural context in meaning making, criticisms have been levelled at communicative language teaching (CLT) for failing to effectively address this at the level of classroom practice. In fact, it has been argued that the way CLT presents content reveals a fundamentally reductionist view of…

Kuo, I-Chun – ELT Journal, 2006
The status of English as a lingua franca (ELF) has become an increasingly popular discourse in Applied Linguistics and current ELT. It has been suggested that native speakers and their Englishes have become relatively unimportant in international communication and that research interests should now fall on non-native speakers and their use of…

Saito, Hidetoshi – ELT Journal, 2008
This paper proposes a framework for goal-driven pair drills. What distinguishes these drills from ordinary controlled drills lies in the motivating characteristics such as clear goals, outcomes, and communicativeness. With these features present, goal-driven pair drills encourage learners to process multiple layers of language skill aspects. A…

Johnson, Keith – ELT Journal, 1988
Viewing language learning as another skill acquisition process allows correction to be seen differently. An "error" occurs when knowledge is faulty, a "mistake" when only the performance is faulty. Mistakes can be corrected when (1) the student desires correction; (2) knows what is correct; (3) knows a mistake has occurred; and…

Morrow, Keith; Schocker, Marita – ELT Journal, 1987
Considers several ways in which texts are used in English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) classrooms where communicative skills are taught. These texts fail to offer the EFL student the possibility of personal involvement of the sort that would be normal with a text in the native language. Suggestions are made for using texts in a way which encourages…

Bahns, Jens – ELT Journal, 1990
Examines some possible relationships between research in second language acquisition (SLA) and foreign language teaching. Special reference is made SLA research findings about the order of acquisition of grammatical items, and to a model of application for such findings to classroom practice. (23 references) (Author/CB)
