[Stephanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book includes the research behind and scientific arguments for TBLT, as well as practical instructions for its implementation. It is exceedingly thorough, and rather opinionated; it demands that you don your heaviest-duty thinking cap at all times.

In short, this is not a layman's primer - but non-applied-linguists (i.e. teachers) should still read it.

Definitely a must-read

Mike's "no B.S." approach is refreshing. A master scholar of TBLT. He'll be dearly missed.
