Second, readers of this series should strive to initially master research methods in foreign language teaching, learn to design small-scale research projects, conduct classroom observations, design questionnaires, regularly keep teaching logs, sample, collect various data, and perform statistical analysis and data interpretation. This series is a selection from multiple treatises and textbooks designed for language teachers by Cambridge University Press, all of which are influential works in the field of contemporary language education. Authored by prominent figures in the international language education community and with prefaces or introductions written by renowned experts in China's English education field. The 20 topics in this series are the subjects that English teachers need to understand. This series can serve as teaching materials for continuing education of English teachers and for English departments in normal universities, and can also be used by full-time middle and high school teachers and language education researchers.
