Recenzje

'This is an excellent guide to supporting learners of English as an additional language for student teachers. The 'key points' and 'reflection' sections are particularly useful. It is also refreshing to read a book which considers the ITET standards of both Wales and England.' Sian Sanders, Senior Lecturer in Education, Swansea Metropolitan University, UK
