Recensioner i media

Willis’s A Framework for Task-Based Learning has guided my teaching for decades. This new edition refreshes its timeless principles with practical updates, new resources, and thoughtful ideas on AI in TBLT, showing how communicative tasks and focused language work are fully integrated so neither is overlooked. It deserves a place in every teacher’s library.
