'Overall, the chapters in this volume are written in an engaging and honest narrative style coloured by abundant detail, drawing the reader into the author's classroom and thought processes. The book can be seen as a relevant, relatable, and convincing resource for practitioners, as well as an insightful resource for researchers who may be looking for teachers' perceptions, priorities, and interpretations about pedagogical issues that transcend geographical location.'Akiko FujiiAssociate Professor, Department of Education and Language Education at the International Christian University, Tokyo, Japan
