Discourse Analysis for Language Teachers
Discourse Analysis for Language Teaching gives a practical introduction to the field of discourse analysis and its relevance for language teaching.
The book begins by answering the question 'What is discourse analysis?' and examines how discourse analysts approach spoken and written language. Different models of analysis are outlined and evaluated in terms of their usefulness to language teachers. This is followed by chapters on discourse-oriented approaches to grammar, vocabulary and phonology. The final section looks at spoken and written language in the light of native-speaker and learner data and considers examples of teaching approaches.
