Great resource for English Teachers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Marilyn Wilson was one of my favorite professors here at MSU, so perhaps I'm a little biased. But this is an extremely useful text, incorporating the ideas of three very intelligent English teachers that is heavy on theory, but doesn't forget about real world applications. Methodology and theory mixed together well.
