Klappentext

This edited volume provides a comprehensive and detailed insight into the Teaching of English as a Second Language (TESOL) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It describes a variety of challenges that native speakers of Arabic face when learning the English language and presents contemporary teaching strategies for supporting them. The book provides analyses of TESOL syllabi and policies currently adopted in the UAE s K-12 education sector, addressing strengths and areas which can be improved. The book also includes a critical discussion about the difficulties of implementing Western-based TESOL methodologies in a Middle Eastern context, from the perspectives of real-world practitioners. By presenting a combination of research-based and theory-based chapters, this book is a great resource to TESOL-related graduate students, teachers-in-training, educational leaders and policy makers in the UAE and beyond.
