Three articles for the second assignment (Issue)

Current Perspectives on Teaching the Four Skills by Eli Hinkel (2006)
The article focuses on L2 speaking, listening, reading and writing from the four current perspectives on L2 teaching; the decline of methods, bottom-up and top-down skills, new knowledge about English, and integrated and multiple skills taught in context. The author deals with teaching to young learners.
Complexities of Identity Formation: A Narrative Inquiry of an EFL Teacher by Amy B. M. Tsui (2007)
The article is about Minfang’s experience both as an English learner and an English teacher. It deals with Wenger’s theory, CLT in China and Minfang’s identity. I will choose this article because it is easier for me to comment and link with my experience in Japan. In addition, I can use other articles about CLT which I read already.
Mapping the Scope of Theory in TESOL by Tim McNamara (2008)
The article is quite short, but focuses on a lot of various theories; psycholinguistics, individualistic psychology, sociology, anthropology and social psychology. You need to deal with Chomsky, Hymes, Fishman and so forth.
