nvention of new classroom practices and innovative approaches to designing language programmes and materials reflect a commitment to finding more efficient and more effective ways of teaching languages. The classroom teacher has a wider variety of methodological options to choose from than ever before. They can choose methods and materials according to the needs of the learners, the preferences of teachers and the constrains of their institution or educational setting. Though technology can play a dominant role in English Language Teaching (ELT) in the contemporary society, the need for developing the four basic language skills in ELT classrooms still prevails. The perspicacious papers presented in this Volume provide an insight into the deeper understanding of the various issues involved in teaching English at the University level. These papers cover a broad spectrum of topics under ELT ranging from theoretical aspects such as Form and Function in Language Learning to the most useful practical aspects such as Communicative Language Teaching in a Multimedia Language Laboratory. Both the teachers and the researchers may find this Volume on ELT extremely useful in identifying, appreciating and comprehending the nuances of English Language Teaching.
