Biography

Johnnie Johnson Hafernik (Author) , Dorothy S Messerschmitt (Author) , Stephanie Vandrick (Author

"I find this book to be a good resource for school administrators to penetrate the best possible answers in Q&A manuals, or perhaps, to furnish ideas for workshop topics....The pedagogical content of the book is excellent and practically applicable to ESL teachers, in particular novice teachers, as well as some K-12 and EFL teachers. I certainly find this little book handy for future endeavors, especially in the ESL environment where diversity and multicultural surroundings are norm. Where many ESL teachers may concentrate entirely on the language teaching, this book encourages them to be more alert and think of the possibility of the occurrence of these setbacks."

"...readers with classroom experience will attest to the authenticity of the cases, and both novice and experienced teachers would benefit from discussing them, as the authors suggest. Such a joint reflection would suggest practical strategies for handling such situations and help teachers become aware of and perhaps question the values that shape their behavior. Thus, the book would be a valuable contribution to faculty development and graduate programs in ESL."
