TEFL in the 21st century First of all, teaching and learning English in the digital age means using digital tools in TEFL classrooms. This introduction exemplifies how to implement them in a meaningful way in combination with reliable methods (for additional practice-oriented teaching and learning suggestions see: https://www.deflorio.de/blog . A further important aspect of digitization is teaching and learning about media. Teachers have to create and deploy opportunities that allow students to develop a critical stance toward media in general and digital media in particular. This introduction to TEFL shows that the rapidly increasing influences of digitization lead to more internationalized and globalized science-based approaches to teaching and learning English. In this perspective, digitization offers an opportunity to rethink and reshape didactic concepts.

Didaktische Überlegungen erleben mit den neuen Lernmedien eine Renaissance. Allerdings sind im Bereich des "Didaktischen Designs" die verschiedenen theoretischen Modelle, aber auch generell Theorie und Praxis bislang oft nur unzureichend aufeinander bezogen. Der Band will diese Lücke schließen und den Austausch zwischen den unterschiedlichen Bereichen intensivieren. Aus wissenschaftlich-theoretischer Perspektive werden unterschiedliche Lehr-Lernparadigmen sowie im Bereich der Didaktik existierende Modelle mit Blick auf deren Vereinbarkeit und Konsequenzen für die Praxis des Lehrens und Lernens erörtert. Thematisiert werden allgemein-didaktische Modelle sowie Modelle des Instructional De...
Teaching English covers all of the major issues and current trends in language learning and teaching, such as the trends toward empiricism, constructivism, differentiation, learner- and output-orientation, intercultural learning, and the use of multimedia. This book bridges the gap between the suggestions of theoretical approaches to foreign language teaching and the practical needs of both the educators (regardless of the institutions they are teaching and the experiences they have gathered) as well as the students. It will help readers profit from the materials and reflected practices for use in their own classrooms. And lastly, the book offers optimal preparation for exams in university courses and in teacher-training seminars.
