About this book
Reviews
“Emma Riordan’s examination of bilingual classroom discourse uniquely targets non-native speaker teachers of German (and not English, as is usually the case). Her arguments are written with ease and clarity, and built on a solid empirical base, including document analysis, interviews, questionnaires and classroom observations. Language for Teaching Purposes is a most original contribution to the field – a pleasure to read not only for researchers, but classroom teachers too!” (Péter Medgyes, Emeritus Professor at Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary)
