Abstract:
			
Description
The chapters in this book all address the significance of the
relationship between the aims and methods of language teaching and the
contexts in which it takes place. Some do so by considering the
implications of this for the ways in which we research language
teaching. Others present the results of research and development work,
which shows that the various social and cultural forces in the
contemporary world are changing the role of language teaching and
learning.
