Editorial Reviews

This book is certainly rich in detail that will facilitate self-training in technical skills sets for self-directed language teachers keen to effect a transition from face-to-face teaching to teaching online. … This book comes highly recommended. … book, overall, rightly claims to serve the needs of users in both formal and informal settings: whether trainees on a course or self-directed teachers with all combinations of pedagogical experience and technical competence interested in laying out their own pathways for professional development.” (Raymond Sheehan, Independence, Issue 26, March, 2016)
