Reviews for Teacher´s Handbook: Contextualized Language Instruction
The book gives an excellent overview of issues relating to teaching foreign languages. The authors have their preferred approaches, but the presentation is balanced and they are able to support their opinions without seeming doctrinaire (...) I think Shrum and Glisan have put together one of the professions finest texts ever published. It is a fantastic textbook, containing a wealth of useful, up-to-date information on pedagogy, theoretical background and becoming a teacher that is presented clearly and accurately. The exercises and case studies are detailed and useful. (...) This is an invaluable textbook for future language teachers. It provides a wealth of pedagogical methods and resources which are thoroughly grounded in the ACTFL standards and the latest research on second language acquisition and developmental psychology. By far the best textbook on the market for courses on teaching second languages to K-12 students.
