Its critical evaluation makes this a valuable read for those studying for academic qualifications as well as practising teachers, specialists and trainees. It is useful in providing general information but also can be used to investigate a range of strategies which can be used with a wide variety of learners. It allows the reader to question professional judgements and consider the changing face of provision with an analytical approach.
