Inspiring and refreshing, the book presents strong theoretical underpinnings, crucial pedagogical examples, and rigorous research. Findings are noteworthy for all interested in ESL communities. The intentional and masterful structure empowers the reader to transfer knowledge to their professional practice. * David Schwarzer, Montclair State University, USA *The brilliance of Larrotta’s book lies in her refusal to accept the theory/practice false dichotomy that continues to guide and shape most ESL textbooks. The book is not only timely, but also challenges all teachers to move beyond the paternalistic skill banking in the teaching of English and embraces adult learners of English with the respect and dignity they deserve. * Donaldo Macedo, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA *Table of ContentsChapter 1.
