A good book

A book that helps people understand that there are right ways and wrong ways to teach a language. An interesting book and I just ordered his/her? new 2005 book.

Great contribution to practice and theory in ESL/EFL

This book can certainly empower language teachers becoming well-equipped practitioners and thinkers to realize their commitment to teaching and meet students' needs. The framework of the whole book as well as the structure in each chapter was so comprehensive and awareness-raising that I had to reflect on my own teaching beliefs and reshape my cognition within the context, after having had 20 years of English teaching experience in Taiwan and now pursuing my Ph.D. degree in bilingual education in the United States. I highly recommend this book as one of the most valuable books in ESL/EFL teaching as teachers should read it more than once, not only for the author's philosophy of education and pedagogical insights, but also for the growth and development of our own theory and practice in this field.
