"B. Kumaravadivelu presents a macro-strategic framework designed to help both beginning and experienced teachers develop a systematic, coherent, and personal theory of practice. His book provides the tools a teacher needs in order to self-observe, self-analyze, and self-evaluate his or her own teaching acts." "The framework consists of ten macro-strategies based on current theoretical, empirical, and experiential knowledge of second- and foreign-language teaching. These strategies enable teachers to evaluate classroom practices and to generate techniques and activities for realizing teaching goals. With checklists, surveys, projects, and reflective tasks to encourage critical thinking, the book is both practical and accessible. Teachers and future teachers, researchers, and teacher educators will find it indispensable."--BOOK JACKET.
