  • Designing Authenticity into Language Learning Materialsby Frieda Mishan

    Intellect 2004; US$ 10.00

By tracing the epistemological and theoretical roots of the major methodological perspectives, Gunter identifies the various schools of social scientific research that have determined the major perspectives in the area.

The unique strength of this book is that it discusses the theoretical... more...
