Context and Culture in Language Teaching
Claire Kramsch
This book focuses attention on cultural knowledge not just as a necessary aspect of communicative competence, but as an educational objective in its own right-as an end, as well as a means, of language learning.
Lexical Phrases and Language Teaching
James R. Nattinger and Jeanette S. DeCarrico
This book draws on research in presenting a language teaching program based on the use of "prefabricated language." It shows that the "lexical phrase" can serve as an effective basis for learning English.
Practical Stylistics

Linguistic Imperialism
Robert Phillipson
This book explores English as an international language, and how and why it has become so dominant.
Fundamental Considerations in Language Testing
