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.

Coautrice dell'opera fondamentale "How Languages are Learned" con Nina Spada, i suoi contributi hanno plasmato in modo significativo il campo della linguistica applicata.
