What the critics said

. . . recommended reading to anyone wondering how to succeed at immersion language learning efficiently and independently. Moreover, teachers will find the learner-centered progression of the daily learning cycle useful as a model to orient their teaching away from grammar-based, non-communicative instruction through numerous concrete steps for lesson building . . .

-- The Modern Language Journal

. . . good, sound advice overall, putting both old and new techniques to work in a more carefully structured context than most language learners would ever achieve on their own . . . easy to read and follow . . . a useful and well-reasoned guide to making language learning happen.

-- Council on International Educational Exchange

. . . real asset to those . . . whose language learning takes place mainly in the community where they are serving.

-- Training Forum, Newsletter of the Office of Training and Program Support, U.S. Peace Corps

. . . this book can make language learning as rewarding as the international experience itself.
