Teaching Unplugged is the first book to deal comprehensively with the approach in English Language Teaching known as Dogme ELT. It challenges not only the way we view teaching, but also the way we view being a teacher. Dogme ELT advocates teaching "unplugged": a materials-light, conversation-driven philosophy of teaching that, above all, focuses on the learner and on emergent language.
