assessment. Hence, the book provides a complete overview of the most im-
portant topics in language learning. Every topic is presented from two per-

done. These teaching reflections are interesting and well-thought through.

The strength of the book lies in its adept synthesis of theory and practice.
The authors skillfully navigate through theoretical frameworks that present
and discuss all key topics in foreign language learning and connect them
with ‘classroom insights’ – thoughtful practical applications and reflections
of teaching practice. This approach effectively caters for both novice and ex-
perienced practitioners, as it provides a bridge between academic discourse
and the real-world challenges faced in language teaching.
