This second edition has been extensively revised and updated to explore the latest practical developments and theoretical insights in the field of ELT.With new material, including expanded discussions of CLIL, the role of new technologies in ELT, and the teaching of large classes in difficult circumstances, and with an updated glossary and suggestions for additional reading, this is an indispensable textbook for language teachers and students studying in the areas of Applied Linguistics, Language Teacher Education, and ELT/TESOL.

On the other hand, landscape specifically refers to the natural features of an area, such as mountains, valleys, forests, and rivers. While scenery can encompass both natural and man-made elements, landscape focuses solely on the natural environment.

Therefore, it is more likely that the question is referring to "B-language." This term is often used in the context of bilingualism and second language acquisition, where individuals develop proficiency in a language other than their native or first language.

Language hygiene or language police?
Language hygiene refers to the practice of maintaining and promoting linguistic standards and correctness, while language police refers to the enforcement of these standards through strict and often authoritarian means.
