 Re: out of the loop
There have been no major changes over the last 10 years. The general move have been to communicative competencies but that's not really new. You should check out Michael Lewis - The Communicative Approach, Teaching Collocation. There is a bit more emphasis on vocabulary these days.
If you can, take a look at Learner English by Swan and Smith from CUP. If you don't know the book it describes learner problems by nationality/first language. |
