The student teacher will find a solid resource of information presented interactively through film, text and tasks. The research-based sections offer an accessible introduction to theory and the reflective questions and tasks may provide the starting point for educational research projects. If you are a practising teacher, you will enjoy following the links to a wealth of films that challenge you to think again what language teaching is all about. There are also many innovative, ready-to-use classroom tasks within these pages to refresh you and enliven your learners. For the teacher educator, this is a mine to dig into and explore. It offers an activity-based approach to engage teachers-to-be and invites you to work with them in coming to understand how theory meets practice. Whether student, teacher or teacher educator, you will want to invest in a copy of this book for yourself because you will find you want to return to it again and again as you work and learn.` Prof. Melanie Ellis, Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice `This book provides a comprehensive source of knowledge regarding teaching and learning English, covering a number of issues considered challenging by today`s EFL practitioners, which have not yet been discussed in the literature. A particular strength of the book lies in its modern approach to presenting the content with a clear structure to each chapter and aiming to encourage reflective practice. The book`s main asset is its novel approach to foreign language teaching and learning strategies, which follow the guidelines of lifelong learning.` Prof. Joanna Rokita-Jaskow, Pedagogical University of Cracow `The book is founded on the task-based approach and positive education, reflecting contemporary trends and tendencies in foreign language teaching methodology. Compared to other similar publications available on the Polish market, the book`s most distinguishing feature is the attention devoted not only to developing the students` language competence, but also their well-being, which is in keeping with the tenets of positive psychology. Academic in form, it is a truly unique volume that fills the gap in this type of literature on the Central European publishing market.` Prof. Michał B. Paradowski, University of Warsaw
