“This was a huge undertaking that fills a gap in the existing literature and was clearly written by teacher trainers who are in tune with their students. This book can serve as a very important resource not only for novice teachers, but also for teacher trainers of TESL, who can use the book in classes to help better prepare teachers-in-preparation before they go out in the field.”
