There are, in the author's own words ‘games galore'. More experienced and specialist teachers will find many ideas to extend their own teaching repertoire. This is a fun yet serious book that promotes quality language teaching and learning."  Dr Jane Jones, Head of MFL Teacher Education King's College London. November 2008 -- Dr Jane Jones
Through its seven chapters, it supplies the non-linguist with pedagogical tips that are particularly useful for language teaching... While the text is an excellent resource for those who may wish to introduce small doses of French into a non-language curriculum in order to cultivate cross-curricular themes, it can also be a wonderful tool for the first-year or in-service French teacher. -- French Review - Vol. 84.2
