Synopsis ELT is in a flux, but certain exploratory and empirical studies reported a decade or two ago have potential for adaptation. The articles in the volume not only offer a substantive and methodological perspective for teachers and educators in relevant facets of ELT but also present international and comparative dimensions of applied language teaching practices. The contributing teacher-researchers reflect on learners' proficiency and their performances, errors in the usage of conjunctions, idiomatic expressions, vocabulary learning, rhetorical structures in everyday English use, functional approach to teaching scientific discourse, content teaching and teaching ESP, changes in communicative teaching strategies, abstract writing, etc. They seek to motivate practising teachers to develop realistic courses -- general as well as professional -- for their students.
