Offering a practical exploration of teaching skills, this is one of a series dealing with issues in language teaching for teachers and trainers across Europe, in both state schools and private education. The aims are to bridge the gap between current language-teaching theories and classroom practice, and to share and benefit from the expertise of foreign-language teachers who speak their pupils' mother tongue.
