This book offers an overview of key concepts related to TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and the methodological changes that this field has undergone in recent decades. The author states that the book “is aimed at the student, student teacher and practising teacher of TESOL interested in how the English language is experienced, taught and learnt in the twenty-first century worldwide” (p.1). This wide angle can be perceived in the numerous examples and case studies that populate the volume, making it a pleasant read.
