Resumen: In this new edition there is a new chapter on teaching vocabulary, a section on discovery techniques, more on task-based learning and learner training, and a recognition of the change of perception about what communicative competence might be. Many of the categories of communicative activities have been rearranged and there is a more detailed account of teacher roles, together with a section on the use of the mother tongue. The sample lesson plan has been changed and the many examples from textbooks generally reflect the materials now in use rather than those which were current when the first edition came out. The structure of "The Practice of English Language Teaching" remains essentially the same. In part A; Background, the author looks at some of the theoretical concerns which influence the teaching of English as a foreign language. In part B, Practice, the author looks at study materials and techniques for teaching, and in part C, Management and Planning, he looks at how classrooms and students can be organized and what is the best way to prepare for a lesson. The appendix on materials evaluation should help anyone who is in a position to select the textbook which the students are going to use. "The Practice of Language Teaching" deals specifically with the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL). It is not focused especially on English as a second language (ESL) although much of the context of the book can be applied to that slightly different teaching situation. The book is directed at the teaching of "general" English; the teaching of English for specific purposes (ESP) does not form a major part of the work.

Resumen: It is beyond doubt that this book remains the most authoritative introduction to English phonetics. With this new edition, Cruttenden has contributed his part to safeguarding the place the book merits for the coming years; Linguistics, Reviewing the 5th edition Since its publication, Gimson's Pronunciation of English has been acknowledged as the standard description, both comprehensive and accessible, of spoken English: an essential book for anyone studying the sounds and tones of English or teaching English pronunciation and intonation to non-native speakers. This sixth edition has been substantia11y revised throughout, with particular emphasis on those areas that have seen rapid changes in the last five years. The chapter on standard and regional accents has been expanded to reflect accurately the changes in attitude to language standards, with particular focus on recently recognized variation within a wider Received Pronunciation, such as Estuary English. The new edition continues to provide valuable guidance on how to teach the sounds of English to foreign learners, for whom a new subsection on pronouncing dictionaries has been added. In addition, many other sections have been substantia11y rewritten, including those on the sy11able and phonotactics and on word accent, with new spectrograms added to improve the acoustic information. As with a11 previous editions of this classic work, great care has been taken to preserve the spirit of the original edition, so that Gimson's Pronunciation of English will maintain its position as the standard reference book in the field for many years to come. Alan Cruttenden is Professor of Phonetics at the University of Manchester, UK

Resumen: The author's preface states that A Communicative Grammar of English is intended primarily for the "advanced overseas student" who has learned English as a second language, but many professional communicators who speak English as a first language may also find this book useful.
