    DELTA Recommended pre-course reading

    Two useful general books to get you started are:

    Tricia Hedge, Teaching and Learning in the Language Classroom, OUP, 2000
    Scott Thornbury, About Language, CUP, 1997 ALREADY HAVE PDF

    You may then choose to concentrate your reading in areas where you either think you
    have a need to improve your knowledge or where you have an existing interest. We give
    some recommendations below but you are not expected to have read a large number of
    these books before the course. We suggest you make your own selection and set your
    own priorities, bearing in mind the time you personally will have available for
    background reading.
