It covers those concepts of most importance for teaching the 'what' of language (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar) as opposed to the 'how' (listening, speaking, reading, writing). Focus is on developing a means of understanding how best to teach each of these aspects for both native and non-native speaking teachers, along with how best to provide learners with the means of improving them. The reason is because one of the most important aspects of being able to speak a foreign language is the study of vocabulary items, for without them, learners would be unable to express or articulate themselves. However, learners must also be able to effectively pronounce the vocabulary items that they use, and utilize form to structure sentences in order to engage in communication. The focus is on developing within you a means to best provide your learners with effective pronunciation skills, as well as vocabulary item recognition and use, combined with the ability to employ form that is efficient for them to be understood while communicating. Pertinent to this are those teaching strategies and techniques that can be delivered in ways that are relevant, timely, and encouraging, those games and activities that provide both direct and indirect teaching, along with those beneficial testing procedures that involve practicality, reliability, validity, washback, and spin-off. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOther books in the series are: \u003ci\u003ePerspectives and Practice;\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eImplementations;\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSound, Meaning, and Form;\u003c\/i\u003e and, \u003ci\u003eResources\u003c\/i\u003e.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52512074662195,"sku":"9791161101132","price":40.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/c1h0d241RUdtc0RtNkhiQUV1dkw5QT09.webp?v=1760338647","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/issues-in-tesol-sound-meaning-and-form-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
