Summary:

Innovation and Creativity in ELT Methodology comprises a collection of pedagogical articles, giving language teachers a fascinating insight into the way different teaching approaches, methods, procedures and techniques can be explored in the language classroom. Written by established and emerging scholars, this edited volume covers current key issues in teaching, including four macro language skills like listening, speaking, reading and writing; three micro language skills such as pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, as well as English through content areas and technology—CALL. This is a valuable resource book for language teachers, language materials developers, pre-service language teachers, and language teacher educators who would like to explore and creatively craft their own teaching practices to help language learners become competent users of the target language.
