I just have to tell you how much I am enjoying Exloring Classroom Discourse. It's accessible, comprehensive and generally a lovely, lovely book. One of the best books I've read for a long time. - Joan Cutting, University of Edinburgh, UK
"...'Exploring Classroom Discourse' has much to offer both pre- and in-service teachers, as well as researchers into classroom discourse, and postgraduate students in various areas of applied linguistics. It is notable for clarity of expression, and distils material from a wide range of academic studies into a brew which should prove more than palatable for both teachers and teacher educators."

"This text speaks powerfully to both teacher educators and teachersin-training, not only guiding them through classroom discourse exploration, but reminding them every step of the way why such investigation is essential." - Discourse Studies '... what strikes one is the genuine interlinking of theory and practice, and the great potential of the framework presented in this book to support productive self-scrutiny and reflective practice among language teachers - or teachers more widely. It is impossible to capture in a brief review the many insights which this book contains, so I would simply say that "Exploring Classroom Discourse" has much to offer both pre- and in-service teachers, as well as researchers into classroom discourse, and post-graduate students in various areas of applied linguistics. It is notable for clarity of expression, and distils material from a wide range of academic studies into a brew which should prove more than palatable for both teachers and teacher educators.' - System
