Introduction to Language Methodology Author: V Moodley
Introduction to Language Methodology provides an understanding of basic concepts necessary for any language- teaching classroom. It will engage student teachers and practising teachers in a practical and interactive way with key issues such as: language acquisition and language learning; language attitudes; code-switching as a strategy for teaching languages in a multilingual classroom; assessment for learning and managing group work. The focus is on English learning but will not be exclusive of other languages. The second part of the book contains lesson plans that address the new CAPS document.
The target market is first-year courses in language methodology (especially English language methodology) for the following phases: Intermediate, Senior and FET. The book will be particularly useful for courses that focus on issues of assessment for learning, multilingualism and code-switching.

Introduction to Language Methodology is a hands-on approach to the development of thinking in the classroom. It demonstrates how questions should be scaffolded for cognitive development to take place, and explains how educational taxonomies work in practice. The reader is engaged through the use of user-friendly features, including:
• Outcomes • Chapter-opener summaries • Illustrations and diagrams • Concept definitions • Example boxes in some chapters, e.g. a caselet on code-switching • Activity boxes • A list of key terms at the end of each chapter • End-of-chapter questions, including pair work activities • Glossary.
“My first impression when reading this manuscript is that here is a much needed book that fills a gap that I have experienced first-hand in my years as a language lecturer. ”
