`This book is comprehensive, up-to-date, critical and authoritative. It is also, above all, well written. It will undoubtedly become standard reading for the next generation of teachers in training and practising teachers will also learn a great deal from dipping into its contents.' - David Wray, Professor of Literacy Education, University of Warwick

`[A] well organised and comprehensive guide to the teaching of English and the teaching of language' Margaret Mallett - Emeritus Fellow of The English Association
