Rezensionen

Adams and Oliver's volume is a much-needed contribution. It provides second language researchers with teachers' insights into the role of peer interaction and into their successes and challenges when implementing interactive tasks in their classrooms. Most importantly in my opinion, the volume offers a research agenda on interaction grounded in the realities of classroom language teaching.

María del Pilar García Mayo, Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU)

Adams and Oliver's Learning a Language with Peers: Elevating Classroom Voices delivers a state-of-the-art exploration of peer interaction from the expertise and experiences of language teachers in diverse contexts. An ideal complement to their 2019 empirically focused volume, this book provides an unprecedented look at the nuances of peer interaction with tangible, concrete ideas on how to maximize classroom language learning. A must-read for language teachers and research-focused academics alike.
