Reviews
Bailey's work on teaching listening and speaking in second and foreign language contexts is a necessary resource for all language teachers. She seamlessly bridges theory and practice throughout, includes numerous examples of language activities that can be immediately implemented in the classroom, and her own personal language learning reflections. * Cathryn Crosby, Associate Professor and TESOL Program Coordinator, Emporia State University, USA *
This book is useful to both language teachers and teacher educators. It is written in an easy-to-read style, combining theories and suggestions that can be applied in teaching listening and speaking. The best part of each chapter lies in the practical activities and reflections that the author shares with readers. * Matilda Wong, Associate Professor, University of Macau, Macau *
