Recenzje

"As CBLT has gained unprecedented attention and adoption globally, this book is timely, identifying and demystifying its characteristic features. This book is tailor-made, easily accessible and invaluable to anyone interested in CBLT. It provides the crucial background and practical information one needs to know about this educational approach. By examining studies conducted all over the world (e.g. Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Canada and Spain), this book reveals the strengths and pitfalls of CBLT implementation in different contexts, allowing readers to identify and refine pedagogy which suits their unique circumstance, and to ultimately help their learners to benefit from the essence of CBLT: improving and achieving the necessary language proficiency for subject matter learning such that the second language is not a hindrance to academic achievement."
