"From the perspective of the tutor, teaching a language one-to-one is not just one more way of doing what classroom teachers do. With only one learner, it is possible to give serious attention to principles of second language acquisition such as motivation, error treatment, and learner autonomy, which are more difficult to address in classroom learning. One-on-One Language Teaching and Learning brings together a strong theoretical framework with practical suggestions and actual experiences of language learners and tutors from around the world. It applies research in the field of language acquisition and teaching to issues like building a strong tutor-student relationship, working with multilingual learners, and learning various skills and strategies. The book will be valuable for tutors of many languages, not only English, as well as learners who wants to take a more active role in one-on-one learning"-- "From the perspective of the tutor, teaching a language one-to-one is not just one more way of doing what classroom teachers do.
