Reviewed with Modern Languages Across the Curriculum Edited by Michael Grenfell:'These volumes represent state-of-the-art thinking'

'Aspects of Teaching Secondary Modern Foreign Languages is avowedly practical and demonstrates both the complexity and the common sense nature of most effective teaching ... An avoidance of prescriptive orthodoxy and a concern for the individual learner lies behind all the contributions. Teaching ideas are detailed, systematic and stimulating, and pedagogical advice is firmly pragmatic and grounded in practice.' - Nigel Norman, Teacher, Times Educational Supplement
