From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

See also: Language education and Second language acquisition

"ESL" redirects here. For other uses, see ESL (disambiguation).

ESL (English as a second language), ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), and EFL (English as a foreign language) all refer to the use or study of English by speakers with a different native language. The precise usage, including the different use of the terms ESL and ESOL in different countries, is described below. These terms are most commonly used in relation to teaching and learning English, but they may also be used in relation to demographic information.

ELT (English language teaching) is a widely-used teacher-centred term, as in the English language teaching divisions of large publishing houses, ELT training, etc. The abbreviations TESL (teaching English as a second language), TESOL (teaching English for speakers of other languages) and TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) are all also used.

Other terms used in this field include EAL (English as an additional language), ESD (English as a second dialect), EIL (English as an international language), ELF (English as a lingua franca), ESP (English for special purposes, or English for specific purposes), EAP (English for academic purposes). Some terms that refer to those who are learning English are ELL (English language learner) and LEP (limited English proficiency).

The activity book is in full colour in jpg form and is illustrated throughout. Each unit is divided into three sections. The 'Before You Watch' section aims to prepare students for the video. The 'While You Watch' section offers a global viewing task and then exploits the video sequence by sequence. The 'After You Watch' section offers optional activities in the form of role-plays, tasks and reading texts. The activity book aims to develop listening and speaking skills. The activities draw on students' own experience and help them to gain insights into aspects of British culture. The activity book also contains a complete transcript of the video.

The elementary level Headway Video is an innovative English language teaching video that combines factual reports on topics of general interest with drama sequences that demonstrate situational language. The language syllabus is derived from the Headway Elementary course book. The video can be used as an additional component to the Headway Elementary course or as supplementary material alongside other course books at the elementary level. The video is accompanied by an Activity Book for students and a Video Guide for teachers.

The Activity Book is in full color and illustrated throughout. Each unit is divided into three sections: the 'Before you watch' section aims to prepare students for the vocabulary used in the video; the 'While you watch' section starts with a global viewing task and then exploits the video scene by scene. The unit finishes with a 'Review' section to check comprehension. Finally, an 'After you watch' section offers optional activities in the form of role-plays, tasks and reading texts. There are also summaries of important situational language and a complete transcript of the video.

The Video Guide provides teaching notes for each unit and help in using video in the classroom. It also gives cultural information, suggestions for further activities and answers to exercises.
