Review

"If you spend a few minutes flipping through their pages, you will discover a real treasure for your academic classes. It is definitely worth reading them!" Liliana Burga Yuy for IATEFL Voices, Issue 236, January / February 2014 "...the tutor's role is instrumental, and the teacher's book embraces this with a comprehensive introduction on the approaches used, and informative teaching notes so that it would also be very usable by those starting out in EAP and on their first pre-sessional teaching assignment." Clare Anderson for the ESP SIG Journal, Issue 41, April 2013
