This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection offers insight into current issues in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Asia. University and secondary school teachers and researchers from nine different countries share experiences they have encountered in their English-language courses, offering suggestions for incorporating new methodologies and techniques both in and outside the classroom. Not only is this book filled with valuable teaching techniques that the contributors have found successful, but it also introduces new ways of dealing with various social situations in the classroom. This book is unique in that it offers the perspective of teaching English in Asia, where students often don’t get many opportunities to engage with the language in informal settings. This book is geared towards university-level instructors and secondary school teachers teaching EFL in Asia, as well as researchers conducting cross-cultural studies which investigate foreign language learning and acquisition in today’s global society. English language teaching has become a booming industry in this region, and with the professionalization of the field comes abundant opportunities for research and informed practices. This book stands alone in its purpose in generating a current view of the situations which EFL teachers and students in Asia today face. Topics discussed in this volume include action research projects, successful teaching practices, innovative language assistance programs, and issues of autonomy and identity.

Book excerpt: This book offers an insight into the 21st century teaching and learning of English in Asia. Despite English being widely recognized as a lingua franca in this era of globalization, the general EFL proficiency of graduates from high schools and even universities in most Asian countries are still below the expectations of policymakers. Given the critical role English will play in the globalized world, this review and examination of the current state of English education in Asia is both important and timely. This book consists of ten chapters from ten different Asian countries, including the Russian Far East. The scope of the book allows EFL students, researchers and teachers to gain perspectives on many of the significant current issues, expectations, and challenges in the teaching and learning of English faced by Asia in the 21st century.

Download or read book REFRAMING ENGLISH EDUCATION IN ASIA written by Evelyn Doman and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English language teaching (ELT) has changed dramatically over the past decade in Asia, an area of the world where English is taught as a foreign language, rather than a second language. A drastic movement has been made from the traditional Grammar-Translation Method to more communicative approaches to teaching and learning, such as project-based and task-based learning. In this book, the authors outline the development of ELT in Asia in the past decade in the wider context of educational reform in the region which puts greater value on the acquisition of English and in student-centered classrooms. Given the growing importance of English and the enormous energy and enthusiasm in the region for learning the language in both formal and informal contexts, ELT will continue to flourish. University and secondary school teachers and researchers from five different Asian countries share methodologies and innovative programs that they have found to be successful in their classrooms, including ideas for technology-enhanced language learning. This volume offers insight into the daily academic lives of secondary and university English language classrooms across the region and shows how English is currently being reframed in this vibrant region.
