General education and language teaching methodology - 3

This book presents a selection of papers on teaching English as a foreign language and the role of language education in human development.

As thinking skills rely on language, language education should exceed utilitarian and everyday communicative needs and should be the basis for developing other school subjects.

The book provides practical suggestions for language teaching, for the development of logical thinking and the understanding of the linguistic relationship between the first and the second languages in a historical perspective.
