520			_a"This book provides a foundation on which teachers can build their own practical philosophy of language teaching. It is intended as a basic course for teachers in training, and as a reference book for experienced teachers. Part One deals with the relationship between language teaching and linguistics. Part Two is concerned with the nature of grammar and its place in language courses. Part Three contains a discussion of the pressures exerted on language teachers by: the community in which they work, the educational system, and the constant debate about methodology. The book is supplemented by appendices, notes and a bibliography, which provide suggestions for using the book in courses and ideas for possible follow-up and further reading." (Book Cover)
