INTRODUCTIONThe book resource list that follows was originally developed to support English LanguageFellows, English Language Specialists, and Regional English Language Officers inidentifying resources that will aid them in completing projects sponsored by the Office ofEnglish Language Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Departmentof State. However, this resource may be of interest to any English language teachingprofessional working in an English as a foreign language (EFL) context.The focus is largely on books, rather than journals or articles, that have been publishedin the past five years, along with some older titles that are still considered particularlyrelevant. Based on input from a small group of individuals, this bibliography will naturallybe limited in scope due to personal interests, experience, and knowledge, among otherfactors. There are many other worthwhile publications that, in a larger collection, wouldcertainly be considered vital additions and should not be overlooked.The bibliography is in two parts: Part One focuses on Educating Language Learners in the primary language skills(speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation) and alsohas sections focusing on technology, culture, young learners, and English for AcademicPurposes. The section on integrated skills is not extensive, but this should not beunderstood as a lack of support for the approach. We fully support and recommend thisapproach in most contexts. For more information, see the Integrated Skills section. Eachsection in Part One is divided into Teacher References and Teaching Materials for usewith English language learners. Teaching materials may include activity sourcebooks,textbooks, or reference books like dictionaries. Assessment of language skills isaddressed in Part Two, Chapter 15. Part Two focuses on Educating Teachers in TESOL-content areas from curriculumdesign to second language acquisition, assessment, action research, programadministration, and beyond. Naturally, these sections are devoted entirely to TeacherReferences, including those focused on helping teachers assess the language skillslisted in Part One. Chapter 13: Teaching Methodology includes titles related to thetheories underlying teaching methodology, methodological practices, Content-BasedInstruction (CBI), classroom management, and more.Each entry is labeled according to the categories and symbols below for quick hly recommendedElectronic bookEnglish for Specific PurposesRelevant to K–12 teachersHardback or paperback bookMultimedia: including audio CD or DVDMulti-level seriesCompanion website220-21666 Book Resource List English Language Teaching & Applied Linguistics.indd 22/10/21 6:51 AM

1. INTEGRATED SKILLSThis section on integrated skills is not extensive. This is because an integrated-skillsapproach has become the standard approach to teaching English in most contexts andmost modern general coursebooks are integrated skills. This common usage is probablywhy we could identify no teacher references that focus on integrated skills from atheoretical perspective, or activity sourcebooks. The lack of teacher references in thissection should not be interpreted as a lack of support for integrated skills. We fully supportand recommend this approach in most contexts.We recognize that there are many excellent integrated skills coursebooks on the marketand we could not possibly list them all. We list a very limited selection of popular textsbelow. It is important to note that these coursebooks are designed for internationalmarkets. There may be integrated skills coursebooks designed for particular regions, firstlanguages, or countries that are more appropriate for your context.TextbooksFoley, B. H. & Neblett, E. R. (2018).
