Editorial Reviews

I've been teaching ELT for 20 years. Sometimes after a hard day in the classroom, you wish you had a wise friend who understood what it was like, who could say things that would make you nod in agreement one moment and laugh out loud the next. Reading this collection of Prof Zemach's columns was like having coffee with such a friend. She discusses mundane topics like making up a story in class to illustrate a point to more serious ones like teacher burnout with such humor and honesty.
