Li’s book is concise and accessible, and will attract a wide range of readership. It promises to be an essential reading for undergraduates and postgraduates studying language teacher training programmes, and more specifically MA TESOL degrees. It is also an excellent resource for academics pursuing a research-led teaching methodology. As such, it has already taken its place in the list of essential reading for my CALL module at Newcastle University.
