Title: A Course in Language Teaching : Practice of Theory by Penny Ur ISBN: 0-521-44994-4 Publisher: Cambridge University Press Pub. Date: 09 May, 1996 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $30.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.67 (3 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Bad, very bad.
Comment: Do whatever you can to find a text that more clearly explains the theories and theories in practice of language teaching. I am currently using as a textbook in an introductory Teaching ESL course. We read out of it, but most of the material is omitted, corrected or adjusted by our instructor.
Rating: 5
Summary: A terrific (not confusing) introduction to language teaching
Comment: In this book, Penny Ur has created an indispensable reference on language teaching. This book covers everything from classroom management to testing to presenting vocabulary. Every section is clearly written and easy to put into practice. There is also a list of references for each chapter, for those who want to explore a topic in greater detail. If you were to buy just one book on language teaching, I would make it this one!

Summary: A very confused author
Comment: In the introduction of the book, Ur dedicated a section on the difference between "practice" and "theory", and why the subtitle of the book is "practice and theory", rather than the more conventional "theory and Practice".
However, only in Introduction, I found two places where Ur used "theory and practice", and "theories and practices". What a confused and confusing author!
I wonder if anybody can learn anything out of the book of such confused author.
