'It provides a fascinating reminder to experienced teachers of all the vital aspects of teaching and it in incorporates a comprehensive range of tasks to ensure that our teaching practice is enhanced … I believe that this publication will provide an excellent resource for the classroom teacher.' AMES Bulletin
'It is in the Notes that Tasks for Language Teachers reveals all its depth and careful planning and differs from many other task-based books. The reader-user going through the tasks is never let down: the support is constant and multifarious.' PET, 1994
'working through the tasks … has taught me a lot and clarified my ideas both as a language teacher and as a teacher trainer. In the space of a single book this is an achievement … Parrott has a clear overview of the language teaching and learning process and a masterful ability to relate the parts to the whole. The book is clear, modest and consistent; abounds in sensible advice to the trainer, and is illuminated with insights into teacher development.' The Teacher Trainer, 1995
'Buy this if you are about to start a teacher training course, or if the activities you have orgnised for years need fresh life.' VATME Newsletter, 1995 'This book is written at an accessible level, clearly laid out and pleasant to handle. It will provide trainers with some interesting 'ready made' sessions to try out and widen the range of approaches and techniques.' ETAS NL, 1994
