Focus on Content-Based Language Teaching highlights important research and evidence-based instructional practices for overcoming the challenges of teaching a second or foreign language alongside another academic subject. Extracts from classroom data provide real-life examples of teachers and students interacting with each other in different approaches to content-based language teaching, showing how theory relates to practice. Activities help you relate research and theory on content-based language teaching to your own teaching context.

This accessible introduction presents key theories of first and second language acquisition and their practical classroom applications, helping teachers evaluate various methods effectively. The revised practical section addresses diverse learner backgrounds and includes recent theories, activities, and projects for both new and experienced educators.
