Rezensionen

"This book is likely to inspire both novice and more experienced researchers, and it would make a good choice of core reading in both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in ELT curriculum or materials development and analysis ... . this volume is to be welcomed by applied linguists with a range of interests, including classroom pedagogy, semiotics, literacy development, teacher education, and language teaching materials."
