Teaching English to Pre-Primary Children is essential for adults involved in the pre-primary education of children who are not attending formal schooling and who may not yet know how to read and write. It ensures that the first early language learning experience is a positive one which paves the way for a life-long journey into language learning.

Teaching English as a Lingua Franca is an authoritative analysis of why and how English is used as an international language - and an argument for teaching it differently. It is the result of both academic investigation and practical experience, but, above all, of the conviction that a change is necessary. The authors reformulate EFL (English as a Foreign Language) as ELF (English as a Lingua Franca) - the way language is now used and will be used in the future - hoping to effect a serious shift in ourpedagogy and practice.The book aims to: help teachers understand the concept of English as a Lingua Franca; help learners to operate as users of English as a global language; provide opportunities to move towards a new approach to ELT.

English is Context is as enjoyable to read as it will be enjoyable to teach. It is amusing yet authoritative; provocative yet without causing offence; whimsical yet well-documented; personal yet eminently practical. Part A offers theory: taking the reader on a journey across the history of language in context - from the author's very personal perspective - through a history of language through the ages, quoting the most wide-ranging and often surprising of references ... to the specifics of the language classroom. Part B offers activities: initiating the learner in the secret of pragmatics through a first set of short, introductory, practical activities; a second set that investigates the importance of context in the language we live; and four further chapters that delve deeper into the question of how we speak, and the ways we say what we may - or may not! - mean. Part C offers reflection: resuming the perspective of the author at the end of Part A, it concentrates on the language classroom and reflects on pragmatics in regard to the teacher, to the learner and, ultimately, to both together - in such a way that a much greater, shared, understanding and incipient control of pragmatic competence is successfully achieved.
