Reviews'I've adopted this text for my online class ... very accessible ... find the pre-reading and post-reading activities, as well as the recaps, are a great addition.' Caroline Riches, McGill University, 'The authors have succeeded in producing a book that is comprehensive, insightful, and engaging and one that will be a primary resource for teacher educators, language teaching researchers, and student teachers. The reader-friendly organization of each chapter with pre-reading activities, summaries of key theory and research, and post-reading follow-up tasks will provide both novice as well as experienced teachers with an extensive understanding of the disciplinary and pedagogical knowledge that are essential for today's language teaching professionals.' Jack C. Richards, Sydney University, Australia, 'I've adopted this text for my online class. I find it to be very accessible, and look forward to how my students receive it. So far, I find the pre-reading and post-reading activities, as well as the recaps a great addition.' Caroline Riches, McGill University
