Resumen de 30 Trends in ELT
Kerr’s 30 Trends in ELT is part of the Cambridge Pocket Guides for Language Teachers, a series which is edited by Scott Thornbury and includes such titles as 101 Grammar Questions and 50 Creative Activities. Physically, like the other books in the series, this is a small, notebook-sized book which can be read fairly quickly. It is organized as thirty short chapters or entries, which are divided loosely into four sections. The sections are ‘Rethinking English’, which deals with English as a lingua franca, English medium instruction, CLIL, and content-based instruction; ‘Rethinking Learning’, which deals largely with currently fashionable teaching approaches such as twenty-first-century skills and grit; ‘Rethinking Teaching’, which mainly focuses on technology in teaching; and ‘Rethinking Evidence’, which contains one standalone entry on research. Each of the thirty entries is around four pages long, and starts with a short summary blurb outlining the topic. This is followed by a ‘What and Why’ section, an ‘In Practice’ section, and a ‘Takeaways’ section.
