English Learning Maximisation System: A Learning-Centred Approach
This English language teaching (ELT) theory book is packed with case studies, empirical research, reflections and methods for the maximisation of English language learning. It is designed to help English teachers boost the potential for learning to occur in language classrooms. Written in response to student complaints of “not learning anything”, this book examines, reflects upon and interprets the process of English language learning from a student’s perspective. In order to significantly reduce the likelihood of the emergence of such complaints from students, the book suggests a focus on learning by presenting a new philosophy of English language teaching: namely, the English Learning Maximisation System (ELMS). This new ELT theory holds that students learn the English language best when their learning experience engages them cognitively and behaviourally.
