Format:Paperback
Really good book. It goes over the main language teaching approaches and methods, and gives quite a lot of contextual information that helps to understand the evolution of language teaching. Larsen-Freeman's one is more "straight to the point" and "easy" (I also enjoyed that book very much) whereas Richards' gives more historical, linguistic, social background; more theory, sort to say. Both are very good books, in my opinion.

Format:Paperback
An interesting summary of the various methods used in language teaching for the last 100 years or so.If you are a language teacher,it may well be of interest to you,but it doesn`t give any easy answers,prefering rather to explore the wide range of options available to teachers.
