“A collection of eleven essays on a range of new methods of teaching English in a variety of contexts with specific reference to Thailand. … this book offers rich and varied accounts of experimental research and commitment in a variety of contexts, each element of which can plant seeds for future good practice. The outcomes the book describes offer much food for thought for teachers, trainers, course designers and administrators who have to work with administrative uncertainty and entrenched attitudes.” (Julian Chase, The Asian Journal of Applied Linguistics, Vol. 3 (1), Spring, 2016)
