Editorial

I n our main feature, Michael Swan describes trends

Also concerned with real language usage is Mark Hancock,

who describes ways in which we can teach our students

about politeness conventions in different situations.

in English language teaching in terms of a pendulum

swinging between two extremes: form and meaning,

and he would like to see more emphasis on the actual

teaching of language. Nevertheless, he comes 10 the

comforting conclusion that most good teachers pick

and choose between the methodologies and materials

on offer to create a mix that works for them.

Taking a more humanistic approach to language teaching,

Rose H ickman appeals to us to make our classrooms

places of inclusion and safety for all students, whatever

their gender or sexual orientation.

Andrew O'Dwyer, for his part, sees opportunities outside

the classroom to get his students to practise the language

they are learning and to see real language in use, while

Rebecca Norman brings the language of the outside world

inside by luring tourists into her conversation classes.

The other articles in this issue represent some of the

many different viewpoints on the way in which language

should be taught. Dave Willis wants to make things

easier for students by abandoning the teaching of rules

which he believes don't actually work.

Britt Jepsen's school students read authentic materials

from the word go, and Chris Payne also advocates

looking at real-life language. He favours the use of

concordances to reveal not just the frequency of words

and collocations but how they are actually used. James

Venema then explains how students can record and

remember new language efficiently.
