An Introduction to Evidence-based Teaching in the English Language Classroom
What evidence is there for common teaching practices and procedures? And how can teachers explore whether their teaching practices are support by evidence? An Introduction to Evidence-Based Teaching in the English Language Classroom begins by identifying what ' evidence-based teaching' is. It then outlines the key strategies, briefly describing how and why they are supported by evidence. Finally, it moves on to show the practical application of these strategies in ELT with concrete examples and activities. It presents the research in a way which teachers will find accessible, and offers research tasks to try in part 1 plus classroom-based research tasks to try in part 2, so that you can consolidate your reading and relate the evidence discussed to your own classroom practice. It is designed to be a supplement to any initial or in-service teacher education course, plus as a useful resource for teachers at any level who are interested in evidence-based teaching in English Language classes. You should read alongside core teacher training texts, in order to be able to examine common teaching practices.
K-12 Classroom Research in Language Teaching and Learning

Release Date: 2024-07-31
This edited volume presents narratives on a range of methods for research on second language teaching and learning appropriate to the elementary, middle, and high schools (K-12). Teacher researchers in different worldwide contexts narrate their processes to explain and demonstrate practitioner research in context; contributors describe their research from exploring the rationale for the project, to designing the study, analyzing the data, and disseminating it. As such, the book illustrates how K-12 practitioners design, gather, analyze, interpret, and strategically employ data to make data-driven, evidence-based, and analysis-informed instructional, assessment, and programmatic decisions. This volume empowers teacher-researchers and allows them to envision research projects in their own classrooms. Offering new insights into the researchers’ thinking processes, challenges, and solutions, and advocating teacher research for understanding learning, the teaching of language, and the development of SLA, this text will appeal to educators and researchers involved in language education, second language acquisition, TESOL, ESL/EFL/ELT, and applied linguistics.
English in Primary Education

Publisher: University of Bamberg Press
Release Date: 2023-03-27
This volume focuses on the teaching of English as a foreign language to young learners at primary school. The volume features an introduction that covers essentials of teaching English to young learners from a theoretical, empirical, and neuroscientific perspective while also discussing the notion of a principled mindset, competence development, transcultural learning, the use of materials and literature, and lesson planning. The subsequent contributions cover reading and writing, bilingual programs, the transition from primary to secondary school, storybooks, the importance of self-selected fiction, anti-bias education, ways of encouraging young learners to speak, and professional advice for primary English language educators based on a qualitative analysis of interviews. Based on an international TEFL lecture series, researchers, teacher educators, and practising teachers from Germany, Switzerland, and the United States share their insights into these central issues and offer theoretical concepts for the professional development of (pre-service) primary school English teachers. Practical ideas and examples included in this volume aim to make theoretical constructs accessible and relatable for future teachers of English. The afterword features a look ahead by critically examining future challenges of primary school educators and highlighting (1) the great importance of an early start with English as a foreign language and (2) the need for developing national educational standards. This volume provides a research-based and practice-oriented foundation for (pre-service) English teachers wishing to expand their knowledge and gain an insight into recent developments in foreign language learning theories and concepts. Although mostly aimed at primary school educators, particularly the introductory chapter will be equally relevant for university students or teachers focusing on vocational and secondary school teaching, so that they develop an understanding of specific features of primary English language education and, as concerns secondary school teachers, can contribute to a smooth transition in the fifth grade.
