Abstract
Whereas the focus in Part I of the book was on research and theoretical aspects of L2 learning, in this chapter we turn to the more practical part of this volume. Here, we present how findings from research and theory can be used to inform teaching practice, because it is important that classroom work stands on solid ground. We go into practical, hands-on activities, connecting the theoretical perspectives with classroom practice. Among other things, we introduce several ways for teachers (and researchers) to map learners’ experiences of extramural English and provide a number of appendices.
