Reviews
- 'This is a very practical, up-to-date, easy-to-digest book for all those involved in ELT: undergraduate students, pre-service/in-service teachers, post-graduate students and ELT teacher-trainers/lecturers especially those who share Elbaz's (1981) basic argument that teachers play a central, autonomous role in shaping curricula, rather than being merely 'a cog in the educational machine.' - RELC Journal |k Y
