Dogme in English Language Teaching
Teaching Unplugged is the first book to deal comprehensively with the approach in English Language Teaching known as Dogme ELT. It challenges not only the way we view teaching, but also the way we view being a teacher. Dogme ELT advocates teaching ‘unplugged’: a materials-light, conversation-driven philosophy of teaching that, above all, focuses on the learner and on emergent language. Teaching Unplugged contains three distinctive parts A, B and C which focus in turn on theory, practice and development: A: A background to the ideas behind teaching unplugged. A detailed explanation of the core principles behind Dogme ELT. An invitation to reflect on the best way to learn a language and, consequently, to teach it. B: A bank of activities that teachers can use right away and which help them ‘unplug their teaching’ from the start. Activities that involve little or no preparation, often requiring no more than pen, paper and the people in the room. Tips, techniques and key terms to facilitate a new approach to teaching. C: A reflection on questions relating to how Dogme ELT can be applied in different teaching contexts. An in-depth examination of the issues and implications of adopting this new style of teaching. Teaching Unplugged is available as both paperback and Kindle e-book.

Spotlight on Learning Styles focuses on how we learn rather than what we learn. It sheds light on our individual learning preferences and what we can do to learn and to teach more successfully: teachers recognise the characteristics of their own teaching styles; and learners recognise the characteristics of their own learning styles. The book also provides opportunities for us all to step outside our 'comfort zones' and multiply our possibilities for success. Spotlight on Learning Styles contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development: part A explains the importance and influence of our preferred learning styles, revealing how, as teachers, we can create a more inclusive classroom - integrating and motivating all our students, each with their individual strengths and weaknesses; part B concentrates on activities we can employ to teach more comprehensively and enable all our students to become successful learners. We discover our own preferred learning styles and those of our students, and activate the Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic sensory channels, the Global-Analytic cognitive processes and the Mind Organisation model of perception. Part C introduces further approaches, points to further activities beyond the purely linguistic, and suggests further reading - thus widening the spotlight and providing a springboard for opening up new horizons of discovery and development, of learning and of teaching.
Whether you are experienced or new to the classroom, this book reveals how teachers have the potential to become creative.
