Industry Reviews

'The sections I like most are those dealing with text structure and analytical skills. Often it is difficult to find challenging material to practise the discourse and analytical skills needed for matriculation exams. What a relief to discover a book that offers us both at once.' ETAS Journal, Switzerland 'Using Folktales gives us the tools to tap into our learners' natural playfulness and joy of stories in a clearly professional and pedagogically sound way. A very good new addition to the series, with a thorough treatment of this area rich in potential for enthusiastic teachers.' TEFL Farm
