I found this book a little too deep for my current learners. However it will be a useful tool to update and extend my own knowledge of this subject.

I shared this with students: big mistake! They liked it so much a struggle to get it back from them!

The first chapter offers a comprehensive account of the history of language learning teaching, presenting in-depth information which both students and practioners may find relevant. There are very interesting chapters as well which offer a good theoretical discussion underpinning practical considerations. The book is now part of the recommened reading for the course.
