“This practical textbook covers a wide range of pedagogical topics relevant to the beginning English language
teacher. Its authentic and classroom-based approach to the topic makes it accessible and reader-friendly.
Situated in examples and narratives, the ideas and concepts presented are contextualized and connected to
teaching and learning. The broad array of themes discussed, from classroom management to intercultural
communication, would certainly provide a springboard for further reading and discussion as well as application
in the classroom context.”
