Rewrite the following passage as part of a critical literature review using the Harvard system of referencing: LO9 From what I’ve read, the English Language Teaching market, which this company serves, remains attractive for publishers despite a decline in growth as this quote shows: ‘Overall, the ELT materials market has continued to show growth, because, globally, the demand for English learning persists, albeit on a lower growth track than in the 1980s’.1 The latest published statistics that I’ve been able to find

(1999) tell us that there are 1,300 million ELT learners worldwide.2 I therefore think that the need for good ELT authors is growing and, as Francis says: ‘the name of the author remains a critical success factor, and an important sub-brand in many cases’.3 1 R.
