## Overview

About Language: Tasks for Teachers of English is a fully revised second edition designed to deepen language awareness through 31 practical units. It integrates the latest linguistic research and pedagogical strategies, making it an essential resource for CELTA and DELTA candidates as well as self-directed professionals aiming to master English teaching with contemporary relevance.

## Description

Tasks for teachers of English that help to develop language awareness and invite consideration of the pedagogical implications and classroom applications. This second edition has been fully revised and updated, incorporating recent developments in language description, whilst keeping the organisation and structure of the successful first edition. As before, the book asks: 'What is it that a teacher needs to know about English in order to teach it effectively?' It develops teachers' language awareness through a wide range of tasks, which involve them in analysing English to discover its underlying systems. The book consists of 31 units, with new material focusing on varieties of English, models of grammar, phraseology, and spoken grammar. Suitable for use on training courses and for self-study.

Review: Comprehensive. Useful for the Cambridge DELTA course. - Thornbury's A-Z of ELT is good (though a bit overpriced), but this updated version of A.L. is great. The 1997 version is decent but has some very outdated cultural references (Boomtown Rats anyone?), and lacks the latest on slang / annoying frequently updated technical jargon that teachers deal with. Treat it like an exercise book, going chapter by chapter. Helped with the M1 exam for sure.
Review: A brilliant to have before and after a CELTA AND DELTA course. - I really wish someone had told me about this book during my CELTA training. I just bought it for my DELTA course. Just packed with useful terminology and how to actually teach to a higher level.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive. Useful for the Cambridge DELTA course.
*by A***S on 23 July 2020*

Thornbury's A-Z of ELT is good (though a bit overpriced), but this updated version of A.L. is great. The 1997 version is decent but has some very outdated cultural references (Boomtown Rats anyone?), and lacks the latest on slang / annoying frequently updated technical jargon that teachers deal with. Treat it like an exercise book, going chapter by chapter. Helped with the M1 exam for sure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A brilliant to have before and after a CELTA AND DELTA course.
*by F***H on 14 February 2022*

I really wish someone had told me about this book during my CELTA training. I just bought it for my DELTA course. Just packed with useful terminology and how to actually teach to a higher level.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Indispensable for every teacher of EFL
*by F***I on 10 March 2019*

At times a bit difficult but provides teachers of EFL with valuable knowledge.
