Reviews
"Non-linguist teachers of primary French will find a wealth of ideas, information and activities in this book to enable them to feel secure, knowledgeable and ready to teach. Teachers are guided to websites and other resources and provided with helpful cultural information and points about grammar and vocabulary as well as lesson ideas, project suggestions and teaching tips. 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
