This book reignites discussion on the importance of collaboration and innovation in language education. The pivotal difference highlighted in this volume is the concept of team learning through collaborative relationships such as team teaching. It explores ways in which team learning happens in ELT environments and what emerges from these explorations is a more robust concept of team learning in language education. Coupled with this deeper understanding, the value of participant research is emphasised by defining the notion of ‘team’ to include all participants in the educational experience. Authors in this volume position practice ahead of theory as they struggle to make sense of the complex phenomena of language teaching and learning. The focus of this book is on the nexus between ELT theory and practice as viewed through the lens of collaboration. The volume aims to add to the current knowledge base in order to bridge the theory-practice gap regarding collaboration for innovation in language classrooms.

I’d rather have Jesus!The number of mistakes I’ve made in my life is too many to list. But thankfully, grace covers them all. This book is to be my testimony that God is greater than all our sins, forgives us, and uses us for His kingdom. One of the hardest things I had to do was to forgive myself. The mistakes I made are all on me while my restoration is all on Him. You and I were created to serve at His will, and I assure you that, once you grasp that understanding, your life will change, and your rewards will be beyond your comprehension.Our world is at crossroads. Our political system is in disarray, and we are seeing prophecies of old unfold in our midst. Earthquakes, diseases, wars, and natural disasters occur at a greater rate than ever before. Civil unrest in the United States is in a dangerous state. I don’t know if we, as Christians, are raptured pre-, mid-, or post-tribulation, but I believe we are close to finding out. My hope and prayer are that you will secure yourself, loved ones, and others you may meet
