FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE: A Hands-On Guide in English Language Teaching
This book is a comprehensive resource that bridges the gap between linguistic theory and classroom application. This collaborative work brings together the insights of emerging educators and scholars who explore how established learning theories can be effectively transformed into dynamic English Language Teaching practices.
The book presents a collection of chapters, each focusing on a different pedagogical foundation from behaviorism, innatism, and cognitivism to communicative language teaching, Vygotskian theory, post-method pedagogy, Krashen’s second language acquisition, and connectivism. Each theory is discussed through an accessible structure that combines conceptual explanations, classroom implications, and detailed lesson plan examples. This dual emphasis allows readers not only to understand the philosophical roots of each approach but also to visualize how they can be implemented in real teaching scenarios.
What distinguishes this book is its balanced approach: it neither confines itself to theory nor oversimplifies practice. Instead, it integrates both, guiding teachers to make informed decisions that are adaptable to diverse learner needs and institutional contexts. Readers will find practical strategies for fostering communicative competence, reducing learner anxiety, integrating technology, and designing meaningful learning experiences that promote interaction, reflection, and autonomy.
Ultimately, this book emphasizes that effective English teaching is an ongoing dialogue between theory and practice—one that empowers teachers to transform principles into purposeful pedagogy and learners into confident, competent communicators in a global context.
