When using case studies, the author helpfully explains step by step how a good result has been achieved and, thus, can be repeated. Schellekens considers grammar, the way language is organized, to be primarily a tool for the teacher to observe and describe language when teaching or preparing lessons.
Yet teaching verb tenses how the concept of time is expressed in English is important because the tenses carry meaning. She argues convincingly that the successful acquisition and the correct use of new vocabulary is mainly about learning collocations and word strings.
She emphasizes that language cannot and should not only be analyzed in terms of grammar and vocabulary or lexis, but also in terms of function and pragmatics. She advocates individual learning plans also for groups.
The handbook also instructs profitably on aspects of learning management including lesson planning, giving feedback, and conducting assessment and evaluation. In addition to treating standard themes such as listening and reading for detail and gist, the section on the four skills also explores the development of skills that underpin communication and comprehension such as being able to individuate words in listening exercises lexical segmentation.
