"This is a highly useful addition to the resources available for trainers and teachers alike in this key area of teacher education. Particularly noteworthy is the consideration of teachers as ‘whole persons’ and not simply reflective technicians. ‘The unexamined life is not worth living,’ as Socrates is said to have claimed. This is nowhere more true than in the act of teaching, and at no time more relevant than in the present."
--Alan Maley, co-founder of The C Group—Creativity for Change in Language Education"The overall assessment of the volume’s approach to its subject matter is very good. The way it introduces the parts of the book and moves from topic to the other is logical and makes sense for teachers and teacher trainers."-Dr. Anwar Hussein, Dr. Anwar Hussein
