Abstract
Given the largely undisputed recognition of the importance of context when helping foreign and second language learners to understand new language (e.g. grammar, functional language, lexis, etc.), it is somewhat strange that none of the three-stage paradigms commonly used in preservice language teacher education (e.g. PPP, ESA, ARC, TTT, etc.) make clear reference to context in their stages. This omission becomes even more apparent when working with global ELT coursebooks, where new language also tends to be introduced through a Context-Analysis-Practice sequence (Anderson, 2017a). Trends in coursebook writing since the late 1990s have tended to favour whole-text contexts, rather than image-based or text-integrated contexts (Anderson, 2017a), meaning that preparatory texts have also become more extensive. This places greater demand on learners’ receptive skills (reading and listening) to successfully notice and decode the meaning, form and use of new language. Context, it seems, is more prominent than ever in language teaching.
