Innovations in teaching

What is meant by innovation in teaching? Are there some genuinely new ways of teaching language? Are there new technologies - e.g.: the interactive white board - that have revolutionised how we learn and the way we teach? What innovative methodologies are of interest to the classroom teacher or educationalist working around the world?

Innovations in Teaching comes up with the answers as we look at challenges and changes in the world of ELT and find ideas for teachers to take away.
