Trade Review"Simon Borg’s thought-provoking book is helpful in illuminating the current development of teacher research in the language teaching context … [this] is a reader-friendly and thought-provoking volume useful for establishing and sustaining teacher research projects in the language teaching context. In particular, the book prompts applied linguists to revisit their own beliefs about teacher research in language teaching following clear theoretical frameworks. In this regard, ELT teachers, directors and managers will find this book a useful resource for further exploration, development and sustainability of teacher research and its practice."
