This manual provides comprehensive information for the Linguistics for L2 Teachers, authored by Larry Andrews and published by Routledge. Designed for bilingual and ESL educators, this text aims to deepen understanding of English language mechanics and its real-world applications, fostering confidence in teaching. It moves beyond traditional grammar to explore language functions, utilizing non-technical terminology and presenting practical classroom applications. The book is structured with prereading, postreading, and interactive activities to enhance comprehension and application of linguistic concepts, specifically addressing the needs of teachers working with students learning English as a second language.
The scope of this manual encompasses foundational linguistic principles relevant to L2 instruction. It serves as a guide for teachers to better prepare for the challenges and questions encountered in their classrooms. Key areas covered include explanations of English language aspects, the functions of language beyond mere form, and direct applications within L2 learning environments. The text emphasizes the significance of each topic for both teachers and students, facilitating a more informed and effective teaching approach. Its purpose is to equip educators with the knowledge to support their students' language acquisition journey.
Linguistics for L2 Teachers is designed to help bilingual and ESL teachers better understand how and why the English language works, and to broaden their abilities to help their students learn about the various functions of English in the real world. It is not a complete curriculum in English linguistics, but rather, a foundation from which teachers can continue to grow and to teach with greater confidence. The reader-friendly, conversational style makes the concepts easily accessible to preservice and in-service teachers who have little or no previous experience in language study. This textbook:
* explains various aspects of English using non-technical terminology;
* goes beyond the study of grammar to examine the functions of language, not just its form;
* presents language applications in L2 classrooms; and
* clearly delineates the significance of chapter topics for L2 teachers and students.
Each chapter includes prereading activities to enhance the reader's comprehension; postreading activities to expand and elaborate the concepts; and interactive "Be A Linguist" activities to help readers think in ways similar to the ways linguists think and to provide opportunities to apply ideas explained within the chapter.
Intended for all teachers of students for whom English is a new language, this text will help them be better prepared to meet the important challenges and questions they encounter in their classrooms.
