A little anecdote can spice things up, but too many drown this book in unrelated experience. <br /> <br />That being said, this is a good comprehensive resource for ESL teachers. I used it to prepare for my Praxis II exam and was pleased. I would have liked to see at least one chapter dedicated to the different accepted ESL methodologies (Communicative, Silent Way, Suggestopedia, etc). <br /> <br />I have recommended this book to friends.

I was able to use this edition for my graduate course instead of the newest one and had NO problems! Save yourself some money and continue using in the classroom!
