Focus on Content-Based Language Teaching highlights important research and evidence-based instructional practices for overcoming the challenges of teaching a second or foreign language alongside another academic subject. Extracts from classroom data provide real-life examples of teachers and students interacting with each other in different approaches to content-based language teaching, showing how theory relates to practice. Activities help you relate research and theory on content-based language teaching to your own teaching context.

Patsy M. Lightbown, professoressa emerita presso la Concordia University, ha dedicato la sua carriera alla comprensione dell'acquisizione della seconda lingua in contesti educativi comunicativi e basati sul contenuto. La sua influente ricerca esplora l'impatto dell'istruzione e del feedback su come gli studenti apprendono nuove lingue, attingendo a contesti che vanno dalle scuole elementari canadesi alle classi bilingui negli Stati Uniti. Coautrice dell'opera fondamentale "How Languages are Learned" con Nina Spada, i suoi contributi hanno plasmato in modo significativo il campo della linguistica applicata.
