| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/19/19-2977.html Pedagogical Reflections On Learning Languages In Instructed Settings Editors: Esther Usó-Juan and Maria Noelia Ruiz-Madrid Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing Summary: Pedagogical Reflections on Learning Languages in Instructed Settings is intended to provide the latest pedagogical reflections that derive from research in a variety of key areas within the discipline of language learning. Thus, this volume aims at helping practicing language teachers to update their teaching methodology. The book has fifteen chapters that are grouped around five sections. The first section of the book includes three chapters, which outline past approaches to language learning and highlight advances in our understanding of how languages are likely to be learned and taught. These three chapters provide the theoretical grounding for the rest of the volume by discussing outstanding concepts in the language learning field. The second section of the book contains three chapters, which explore new directions in the field that have recently caught the attention of language researchers and practitioners. The third section of the book consists of three chapters, which discuss the role of learners’ individual variables. The fourth section of the book has five chapters and provides insights into understanding the nature of the four language skills. This section also addresses the issue of assessment with the aim of increasing awareness on the duality teaching/assessing and its pedagogical dimension. The book concludes with the fifth section, which includes a single chapter, that pulls all aforementioned topics together and highlights connections to a student-centred approach, which involves a reformulation of language teachers’ teaching practices.
