The Routledge Handbook of English Language Teaching is the definitive reference volume for postgraduate students of Applied Linguistics, ELT and TESOL. 39 chapters cover inter-related themes progressing from 'broader' contextual issues to a 'narrower' focus on classrooms and classroom discourse. The authors are specialists from around the world, mindful of the diverse pedagogical, institutional and social contexts for ELT. They convincingly present the key issues, areas of debate and dispute, and future developments in ELT from an applied linguistics perspective. Further reading is included with every chapter.

Graham Hall is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Humanities, Northumbria University (UK) and the current editor of ELT Journal.
