Recenzje

'One of the things a reader is likely to get from this book is a heightened awareness of how varied the palette of TEd options is and of how their appropriacy may be conditioned by factors such as a country (or region's) history, size, culture, values, and administrative structure. Authoritative, highly readable, very highly recommended.' - Marian Nicholson, The Teacher Trainer Journal
