Reviews

“This edited volume is a powerful, engaging, and inspiring collection of reflective accounts of TR in action. … I commend the editors for the careful selection of contributions and international authors based in different educational settings. … I recommend this book to teachers interested in engaging with research, teacher educators, and policy makers who have a say in teacher education programmes and projects.” (Darío Luis Banegas, RELC Journal, January, 2016)
