Book Reviews
and Recently Received

Two extremely useful columns for language teachers in The Language Teacher are the Book Reviews and Recently Received columns.

TLT invites reviews of classroom materials listed in the Recently Received column on the right. These materials must be tested in the classroom. All items will be held for a period of three months. Please contact the Publishers' Reviews Copies Liaison if you are interested in reviewing any of these.

Contact the JALT Journal Reviews Editor directly to request any materials listed for teachers
