History and Scope of the Series
The Myth Series began with Keith Folse’s popular Vocabulary Myths: Applying Second Language Research to Classroom Teaching. Folse’s book explored eight myths that underpinned much second language pedagogy, showing why these older ideas were misguided, but also offering new, dynamic ways of teaching additional languages. This book was followed by others in the series that challenged ideas by synthesizing research and proposing evidence-based teaching suggestions. The result has been sound suggestions for language teaching pedagogy along with illustrations of how research can inform teaching. In addition to vocabulary, volumes have included listening, culture, assessment, pronunciation, writing, authentic materials, and second language acquisition.
