A must-read.
Professor Alan Maley — Series Editor, Oxford Resource Books for Teachers; 25 years British Council English Language OfficerThis is a new and important book for educators everywhere!
Dr. Ann Lieberman — Teachers College, Columbia University; Past President, American Educational Research AssociationThe videos that accompany Small Changes successfully bring to life the two major tenets the book illustrates: learning is predicting and teaching is reminding people what they already know.
Chris Maschio — Kanda University MA ProgramChallenging and transformational.
Margaret Kitchen — University of Auckland, TESOLANZ JournalThe changes might be small, but the effects of reading this book and watching the videos are HUGE.
Dr. Charles Browne — Applied Linguistics & TESOL, Meiji Gakuin UniversityOne could well teach English for a lifetime with no other ESOL book but this.
Dr. Robert Oprandy — Professor Emeritus, University of the PacificBrilliant!
Michael Seko — King Fahd University of Petroleum and MineralsThe 'aha' moments where students could step away from 'tunnel vision' and solve the puzzle put before them were powerful and have certainly influenced the way in which I view the classroom.
Daniel Hooper — Kanda University MA ProgramA groundbreaking work.
Jeremy Harmer — in The Practice of English Language Teaching (referring to Breaking Rules)Fanselow's message was "For goodness sake do something different next Monday morning." Instinctively many of us knew that this was brilliant advice.
Mario Rinvolucri — Founding member of Pilgrims; author of 19 books on language teaching published by Cambridge and OxfordThe first word I think of when I think of John F. Fanselow is genius.
