ELT Revisited : Some Theoretical and Practical Perspectives

This volume brings together selected papers presented during the 9th International Conference of the Association of Czech Teachers of English, titled "Teaching for Tomorrow" and hosted by the English Department of the Faculty of Science, Humanities and Education at the Technical University of Liberec, Czech Republic.

The conference brought together English Language Teaching (ELT) professionals from primary, secondary and tertiary education to discuss a variety of English as a Foreign Language (EFL)-related topics, ranging from reports on language research to viewpoints and insights on classroom practice.The contributions are grouped into three sections: a) Focus on Selected Language Topics, b) Increasing Learner Autonomy and c) Innovative Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) ideas.

Papers were carefully chosen in order to appeal to a broad audience.

Consequently, there are articles which have a mainly theoretical bent and those which have a more practical leaning.

Although the conference was hosted in the Czech Republic and the majority of participants were from this country, the book is relevant to any context where English is taught as a foreign or second language.

Therefore, teachers, advanced students of English, language researchers, and, indeed, anyone engaged in the EFL profession will find this collection both educational and thought-provoking.
