Developing Communication Skills: A practical handbook for language teachers, with examples in English, French and German

by Pat Pattison

This book is aimed at all language teachers who wish to adopt a communicative approach to teaching. It shows teachers how to practise this way of teaching with the course materials and course organisation already available to them and gives concrete examples of teaching material in English, French and German. The first section is a clear and practical introduction which offers a definition of oral communication skills and suggests why, how and when they can be practised in the classroom, while the second section consists of practical examples for teachers to try out and adapt to suit their own needs.
