Balancing Theory and Practice - Recommended Texts

The following six books balance theory and practice very well and represent an excellent range of perspectives on effective English language teaching and learning. I will assign selected readings from these texts during the course.

The last selection is the Hong Kong English Language Curriculum and Assessment Guide, which is linked below.

All the topics, content and strategies of ELT must be considered in context. The Education Bureau's (EDB) policy for English language teaching curriculum can be found in these secondary curriculum materials at EDB's website.
