linguistic theory and English teaching There are many English teachers in many parts of the world, but
generally (native) English teachers learn linguistics?
For example, in TESOL, TEFL or CELTA courses, do they learn linguistic theories, such as syntax, semantics or phonetics?
Also, do you think it's better for English teachers to learn linguistic theories?
Or do you think English teachers don't need to learn them because they are too abstract and have very little to do with classroom teaching activities? |
