As a goal it underpinned the British National Curriculum in English, and has remained a subject of intense controversy since. This book gives a complete account of the principles which underline language awareness teaching, and of its implementaion in the classroom. It considers possible syllabus models and approaches to teaching; gives a detailed presentation of how a course unit might be taught and considers issues in assessment and testing.
