Customer Rating:
I used this book in my Methodology for Second Language Learning class at National University. It is a great book for planning effective lessons not only for the beginning, but for the seasoned teachers as well. I found a lot of useful practical advice and samples there, but I could also get some theoretical background for my planning decisions which I was curious about. This book helps to teach better. It is sound, well written, clear and very useful for all educators. I highly recommend it! Milla Hill
