Computer-Assisted Language Learning Tips for Teaching Series Series Editor: H.
Douglas Brown Purpose and Audience Tips for Teaching (hereafter TFT) is a
series of professional reference books for ESOL teachers and teachers in
training on a variety of topics of practical classroom-centered interest. TFT
targets teaching in the contexts of ESL in English-speaking countries as well
as teachers of EFL in non English-speaking countries. The audience within
these contexts is teachers of English in secondary schools, colleges, and
adults at varying levels of proficiency. Each book in the series is a
practical manual intended to provide the user with clearly conceived
methodological ideas, approaches, tasks, activities, and/or techniques to
better accomplish their pedagogical goals. General Methodological
Characteristics Each TFT book offers background in the underlying pedagogical
principles of language learning and teaching in clearly comprehensible terms.
This background is meant to provide a brief and concise understanding of
theory. These are followed by soundly conceived practical approaches to
classroom instruction, from authors who have successfully used the approaches
described in the book. TFT methodology is based on communicative and/or task-
based language teaching foundations. Student-centered, interactive classroom
activities receive primary focus, but not at the expense of appropriate
teacher-centered approaches or tasks for individual in-class or homework
activity. Market Teachers using TFT books may be novice teachers seeking
practical guidelines for approaching instruction in a specified area, or
experienced teachers in need of refreshing new ideas. TFT books seek to meet
current needs of ESOL teachers, filling a gap in current available
publications, or providing better information than other publications. TFT
proposals must have a broad enough defined audience for the publication to be
financially feasible for Pearson/Longman. Format All the TFT books have
numerous practical approaches, activities, tasks, and/or techniques that
appeal to their intended audience. They are not simply a listing of 101
techniques, but rather, offer practical classroom ideas with background
foundations, commentary, and guidelines for teaching Books in the TFT series
may have different formats depending on the subject matter and approach of an
author, but each book in the series should use similar formats/design so
readers will be familiar with the approach once they've seen one book in the
series. A reader won't want to be disappointed if a book in the series does
not have the (ie.) examples or background information that another book has.
The books will be visually attractive with an ample number of charts,
diagrams, illustrations, and drawings. Enough white space on pages provides an
uncluttered look that invites further reading. Prose is limited to a few
paragraphs at a time, and is interspersed with figures, tables, bulleted
lists, and other visual breaks. Chapter organization varies, but the following
guidelines generally apply: 1. Each chapter begins with a chapter overview,
usually a list of chapter objectives, bulleted summary points, or questions
that will be answered. 2. Exercises or other forms of practical applications
are offered at the end of each chapter. 3. Photocopy-ready pages of handouts
or other pages to support activities may be included. 4. End-of-chapter
summary, conclusion, or final comment. Front matter also varies, but the
following are commonly included: 1. Author's preface indicating the purpose
and audience of the book. 2. Series Editor's preface indicating the place of
this book in the series and comments on the importance of the subject matter
of the book. 3. Table of contents including subheadings within chapters. Back-
matter may include the following: 1. Bibliography of related references. 2.
