Reviews

"All in all, this book is informative and user-friendly. Provision of author and subject indexes, and a Foreword, Preface and Introduction is helpful. The Afterword concisely summarizes main points. The book provides a useful resource for educational researchers and teachers who seek to think out of the traditional teacher education box to take global and local dimensions into consideration."-Peijian Sun, University of Auckland, New Zealand Studies in Applied Linguistics, Volume 20(1), 2014
