This document provides an introduction to Cristina Ionela Iosifescu's book "Practical English Morphology and Vocabulary". The book aims to support both teachers and students in teaching and learning English. It presents a new way of teaching English tenses by focusing on aspect rather than time. The book also covers parts of speech like nouns, articles, adjectives and pronouns. It includes both theoretical knowledge and practical exercises to strengthen skills in English morphology and vocabulary.
This document provides an overview of English language teaching. It defines TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) as focusing on learners who will use English daily in addition to their native language, such as immigrants. TESL teaching develops basic survival skills. TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) occurs in students' home country and is academically-based, developing a range of skills. While the distinction between TESL and TEFL is becoming less important, TESL generally ignores literature and focuses on functional skills, while TEFL students have less exposure to English outside class.

This document is an adapted version of the Beliefs about Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) for teachers. It contains 46 statements about language learning that teachers are asked to rate their level of agreement with on a scale of 1 to 5. Some example statements include "Younger children learn a second language at a faster rate than older children" and "It is best to learn English in an English-speaking country." The inventory is designed to assess teachers' implicit beliefs about topics such as the difficulty of different languages, the role of grammar instruction, and factors that affect second language acquisition.
English has become the most widely spoken language globally and is important in many fields and sectors. It is used in education, medicine, engineering, business, and as a lingua franca for communication between different cultures and countries. English proficiency is necessary for academic and career success, as most information online and in publications is in English. It is crucial for studying sciences and computer languages, pursuing higher education abroad, and doing business internationally. English communication skills are especially important for engineering students, as lectures, projects, and resources are predominantly in English.
English has become an important international language in Japan due to globalization and its economic benefits. While studying English is compulsory in Japanese schools, there are still disadvantages like the teaching style focusing on grammar translation rather than communication.

While progress has been made, more changes are still required to improve students' motivation to learn English.

The document also states that any educated person needs to know English and it has become an accepted fact of cultural life in former British colonies where it is an official language.

English as a Second Language (ESL) refers to the use and teaching of English to non-native speakers in English-speaking environments or countries where English has an established role.

ESL students face challenges with standardized testing used for class placement, higher dropout rates than native speakers, barriers to higher education due to credit and financial requirements, difficulties interacting with native English speakers, and limited participation in extracurricular activities. However, ESL programs also provide social benefits like peer networks, cultural expression, and multicultural friendships that help with adjustment.
