Reviews for Materials and Methods in ELT book

“I have been recommending this book for some years to overseas teachers of English who are interested in evaluating the appropriateness of current approaches to ELT for their own classrooms. The second edition is both more comprehensive and more detailed and is a highly accessible resource for individual teachers or course tutors.” Tricia Hedge, University of Warwick

“This edition thoroughly discusses and illustrates the central pedagogical issues in ELT, with an especially rich emphasis on contextual factors in diverse educational settings.” John Sivell, Brock University
