Editorial Reviews

'The unit I particularly liked was giving feedback to your students - two worksheet activities that deal with error awareness and self-correction in a very constructive manner.' (EL Reviews)

'A very worthwhile addition to any resource library since it provides both stimulating and highly adaptable material and reduces the burden of preparation for so many of us overworked teachers.' IATEFL Issues
