Reviews
'Benati's Key Questions in Language Teaching is an excellent resource for anyone interested in issues related to second language acquisition and second language teaching. What makes the volume distinctive is its accessible and reader-friendly approach to explaining a wide range of complex concepts and theoretical perspectives that have shaped our discipline.' Parvaneh Tavakoli, University of Reading 'This is a book that will provide anyone who is unfamiliar with the second language acquisition research with an excellent introduction to the concepts and themes that have defined the field so far. Readers who are starting out as researchers in this area, as well as language teaching professionals, will find this a useful addition to their bookshelves.' Michael Sharwood Smith, Emeritus Professor of Languages, Heriot-Watt University 'Any language teaching professional curious to know more about the nature of language learning will profit from this excellent book. Arranged around key topics such as language acquisition, classroom methodologies, learner interaction, and corrective feedback, it explores the sorts of questions that teachers ask themselves, and provides the information they need to reach informed answers.'
