Reviews
As well as addressing the meaning of key terms in relation to language instruction, learning and acquisition, the volume focuses throughout on myths and misconceptions about language teaching and learning which is especially useful.
As a reference and summary of research in key areas, the book is considered to be invaluable for both experienced and early career ELT teachers, as well as useful for trainees, keen on developing their knowledge, but for whom the academic literature is less easily accessible.
