This is such a great book for World Language teachers. There is great theory plus practical application.

I appreciate the wealth of strategies to support my students.

I worked in a district that modeled this well, and I am glad for a refresher to get me excited for the next school year!

All language teachers should read this book. My only concern is that the target language examples in the book are much too difficult for students in typical level 1 or 2 classes. However, it provides a lot of step-by-step activities that are very useful in the language classroom.
