Recenzii

'This is a very enjoyable and highly original book. Narratives from EFL learners and users from Brazil, Finland, Japan, Spain and Hong Kong provide kaleidoscopic images of unique individual experiences. Yet, from this multiplicity of views a more general picture emerges of learners/users as actors and witnesses of their learning process.' - Jean-Marc Dewaele, University of London
