Designed for pre-service teachers and teachers new to the field of ELT,Volume II and its companionare companion textbook, Volume I, arevolumes organized around the key question: What do teachers need to know and be able to do in order for their students to learn English? VolumeI covers the characteristics of the context in which teachers work, how English works and how it is learned, and the teacher’s role in the larger professional sphere of English language education. VolumeII covers the three main facets of teaching: planning, instructing, and assessing. The focus throughout is on outcomes, that is, student learning.

The texts work for teachers across different contexts (countries where English is the dominant language, one of the official languages, or taught as a foreign language); different levels (elementary/primary, secondary, college or university, or adult education), and different learning purposes (general English, workplace English, English for academic purposes, or English for specific purposes).
