英語教學法原著選讀總目錄（截至2016年）
「英語學習關鍵期」，真的有嗎？ - 英語教學法原著選讀108（視頻講解 練習 籤到）
暑期即將來臨，值此休養生息、抓緊查漏補缺之際，本太白急朋友們之所急，推出「選擇英語教材的主要原則和若干注意事項」，希望能夠對朋友們有所幫助。
-怎樣，是不是很正式？其實沒有那麼嚴重，我就是想從前面幾期原著選讀的嚴肅學術氣氛中走出來，所以跟大家開個玩笑。
來來來，我們進入正題！本期文章的來源是上海外語教育出版社出版的《教學法叢書：如何選擇教材》一書，作者Alan Cunningsworth。當然，其實即便沒有這本書，我們仍然可以選擇教材，這本來也不是一件特別學術的事情；但如果我們能夠以更專業的眼光去挑選教材，從而給孩子、學生更合適的選擇，那不是更好嗎？
不管是家長還是老師，都會遇到給孩子挑選教材的事情，英語學習尤其如此。市面上的教材五花八門，跳來跳去有時會挑花眼，即便是英語老師這樣的專業人士，有時也不容易決斷。今天所選的文章作為暑期開始前的特刊，就是用來給朋友們提供一點參考。
