Format:Paperback
From the phenomenal success of Sue Cowley's "Getting the Buggers to Behave" book evolved a whole series of books on the same subject - many written by Cowley herself, but more recently other authors have been commissioned to share their expertise in the same light-hearted, easy-to-read style, too. This particular volume has been written by a lecturere and teacher educator who clearly has a lot of advice and experience to share. Many of her strategies are so well-known that they are probably already employed by most language teachers, but I found a few new ideas which will be very useful. I also liked the particular emphasis on getting boys to read and write in another language. I did miss the children's quotes and actual examples that are so prevalent in the other "Buggers" books and was disappointed that many general comments such as "boys seem to encounter..." were not backed up by either some research or an actual classroom quote. It would have also been useful to have some chapters dedicated to classical languages such as Greek and Latin - but maybe the publishers, Continuum, are saving this for an additional book? On the whole, a useful and pleasant book to read - but most likely one you would only read once!

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent, easy to read book about teaching practicalities/issues raised in MFL. Not as heavy as many theory books on the same topic.
Format:Paperback
A must-read for any student, teacher or school-worker! It is witty, insightful and fun to read. I even referred to it during my teacher training, so definitely an asset to my bookshelf.
