The book is written in an accessible style, ideal for busy teachers and those studying and teaching education, and supports all stages of professional development.

'I highly recommend this volume because it is written from the perspective of real language teachers sharing their experiences. The scope of coverage is very impressive, with contributions from a range of teaching contexts across the globe, and from teachers who identify as being native and non-native speakers of English. All chapters are research and evidence-based, and explicit in the methodologies employed, making the volume attractive to both student and practising teachers wanting to engage in their own research projects.'
