This is a book about textbooks and ideology. It has been written in the hope that it will be useful to individual language teachers but primarily to be used in initial and in-service education courses for teachers of English as a foreign language. In this .sense then it is a textbook and, inevitably, it is based on my own values regarding the purposes, structure and form of a textbook for teachers, and the nature of a foreign language teacher programme. Moreover, its content and composition reveals the ideology which shapes the author's views about language and foreign language pedagogy.
