Extract

A History of English Language Teaching (2nd ed). A. P. R. Howatt (with H. G. Widdowson). Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004. Pp. xix + 417. £19.20 paper.

This volume, a record of the teaching of English to speakers of other languages from the Renaissance to the present day, starts in 1400, when English was a minority language spoken by a population of no more than 3 million people. The book describes the process of making the language teachable and documents the developments in language teaching theory and practice that led to the emergence of English language teaching (ELT) as an autonomous profession.
