Reviews

'This updated and revised book provides a thorough, entertaining and extremely well-written introduction to current ideas and developments in TESOL and applied linguistics. The book is full of stimulating activities and ideas for reading and will be successful in prompting teachers to be both critical and reflective.'Steve Mann, University of Warwick, UK 'Keith Johnson has done an excellent job in making the work so accessible and engaging while providing readers with an in-depth theoretical perspective. The book is also full of good questions and useful activities which will help its readers become reflective and efficient language teachers.'Qiuping Gao, Capital University of Economics and Business, China 'I used to teach from the first, then the second edition of Johnson's Introduction in my pre- and in-service training courses. And now I'll use the third one, which has been updated and substantially revised, whilst remaining thorough, wise and, above all, entertaining.'Peter Medgyes, Eoetvoes Lorand University, Hungary
