"A great book for anyone starting out teaching in the FES sector or considering it! It provides a detailed overview of all the key elements of the sector, including things missed in other books. Using tables, it clearly and simply presents the multiple components and challenges of this hugely complex sector. There is also comprehensive guidance for the things that really matter when teaching in FES, helping trainees become effective teachers. Easy to read with useful activities and questions to promote reflection and discussion, as well as signposting to informative websites. In short, it is the perfect complement to any initial teacher education course and a must for those training to teach in FES."
