'Wallace's comprehensive book provides a better understanding of what AR is about. It is realistic, pragmatic and well-structured and may inspire a lot of teachers and teacher trainers/trainees. An asset to any teacher's library.' V.V.L.E. Newsletter, Belgium, 1998 'In my opinion, the following features of the book make it invaluable. Firstly, the Further Readings section is very helpful as it provides the reader with a sensible, not too extensive, updated list of books, including a short comment on their content. Secondly Action Research for Language Teachers is very teacher-friendly, more so than, for example, Seliger & Shohamy's volume (1989), as it offers the teacher-researcher the necessary tools to carry out action research and sets a clear path away from the more academic types of research required for PhD studies. Thirdly, I found the the choice of exemplar articles excellent.' Modern English Teacher vol 8 No 3 July 1999
