This book is a collection of articles from my writings over the years on teaching English. Except for the introductory encyclopaedia article, the chapters are arranged in chronological order. They all share some basic features. The primary influence on my thinking about language learning and teaching is the empirically observed problems and difficulties students experience in learning a second language, and the articles all reflect this concern. Theoretical speculations are interesting but they serve a very minor part of this volume.
