'Team Teaching and Team Learning in the Language Classroom not only provides a comprehensive review of team teaching over its initial decades and valuable classroom strategies and techniques, it also highlights innovations in content learning, the integration of new technologies, curriculum design and teacher training all in the context of furthering education as a collaborative social endeavor.In the midst of top-down policy interventions in education, this volume confronts the trends toward standardization and personal competitiveness by embracing the social nature of education, collaboration and innovation, and provides a framework for quality learner outcomes in an array of language learning contexts throughout Asia and Europe.' - Larry Walker, Kyoto Prefectural University, Japan'This volume is a remarkably informative collection of conceptual applications and theoretical approaches of interdisciplinary collaboration in English language teaching (ELT)...It provides a useful start to researchers and teachers looking to incorporate teamteaching into their classroompractice and also inspires teachers and researchers to further develop working models of team teaching that fit their own classes and fields of study.' - Hongyan Qu, Yanbian University, China
