This is given as a "resource book for teachers". Well, it's not much of a resource. The ideas for dealing with newspaper issues in the classroom are often dull, unimaginative and certainly not engaging for students.
There are few practical illustrations - and many topics require huge amounts of teacher-preparation. The book is very much directed at advanced EAL students and not the everyday English or media studies classroom.
Teachers these days need ready-made ideas and schemes of work that require little prior preparation. This slim volume assumes all teachers have hours available before every lesson to prepare - and even if you do laboriously wade through the turgid text in hope of inspiration, you end up with clumsy, unworkable and, frankly, tedious lessons. Curiously outdated in its vision, this very slim volume is disappointing in the extreme.
