There is increasingly wide agreement among teachers, researchers, inspectors, advisers and policy-makers that both teaching and research will benefit from being brought closer together. But how can this be achieved? Hard-pressed practioners cannot be expected to review a constant flow of conference papers, journals and other publications, even if such items were accessibly written. This unique book synthesizes relevant research findings for the professional practioner and highlights their implications for the quality of teaching and learning. Whether you are a teacher looking to improve your practice or a researcher looking for a concise overview of the literature, this book will prove a valuable acquisition.

Industry Reviews

'...valuable guide...and it deserves to be widely read by teachers and researchers in the field...The style is clear and free from jargon, with any unusual terms being explained, and there is lucid exposition even of complex matters.' Winter 2005, No 32, 74-80--Sanford Lakoff "Language Learning Journal "
