Having been fortunate enough to read a pre-release copy, I can really
recommend the book. Highly informative for those of us currently
teaching in the field and I think it should be compulsory reading for
Level 5 ESOL teacher training courses.

Subject: ESOL A Critical Guide - a shameless plug
The book which Melanie Cooke and I have been writing about adult ESOL
was published last month: Cooke, M. and J. Simpson (2008) ESOL: A
Critical Guide. Oxford: Oxford University Press (Oxford Handbooks for
Language Teachers series). ISBN: 9780194422673.
The blurb reads:
***
This book is about the teaching and learning of ESOL - English for
Speakers of Other Languages - for adult migrants in countries where
English is the dominant language. It is for teachers and
teacher-educators who wish to extend their understanding of the issues
and debates surrounding ESOL in an age of globalization and mass
migration.
The authors draw on their experience of researching and teaching ESOL,
and the book is brought to life with the voices of ESOL students and
teachers involved in their research.
ESOL: A Critical Guide adopts a questioning stance towards the
practices, policies and cultures that shape the field.
The chapters cover:
* ESOL students and teachers, their diversity and range
* the content and practice of ESOL
* teaching and learning oral communication
* literacy and electronic literacy
* teacher education
* ESOL around the world.
***
Every ESOL teacher and teacher-educator should have a copy!
I think our book brings the number of books that speak directly to
ESOL in England and Wales to at least five, not to mention research
reports etc from the NRDC and the like. Other ESOL-related books are:
Pitt, K. (2004) Debates in ESOL. London: Routledge.
Rosenberg, S. (2007) A critical history of ESOL for adults resident in
the UK 1870-2005. Leicester: NIACE.
Schellekens, P. (2007) The Oxford ESOL handbook. Oxford: Oxford
University Press.
Ward, J. (2007) ESOL: The context for the UK today. Leicester: NIACE.
