I have tried to produce an introduction to the field that would be of sufficient depth and breadth to be suitable for students with some pre vious teaching experience, vet straightforward enough not to needlessly bewilder the novice. This edition covers the areas 1 believe to be critical to successful lan guage instruction: knowledge of past and pres ent teaching approaches, background on and techniques for teaching the language skills, vari ous options for integrating the skills, awareness of im portant learner factors, and inform ation that is useful for the classroom teacher's everv- day perform ance and professional growth.

The goal has been to m aintain a balance between theory and practice- between provid ing necessary background inform ation and rele vant research, on the one hand, and offering many classroom suggestions and resources for teachers, on the other. The purpose of this third edition of Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language, also known as “The Apple Book,” remains the same as the first (1979) and second (1991) editions: to produce a comprehensive introduc tion to the profession of teaching English to speakers of other languages.
