Sommario/riassunto

Phipps and Gonzalez present a variety of ways in which teachers of modern languages can position themselves favourably in a rapidly changing teaching environment. They tackle the specifics of the discipline and offer examples of incidents that reveal generic and particular difficulties in teaching modern languages.
