Forbes should be lauded for this timely addition that offers insights into the phenomenon of cross-linguistic transfer of writing strategies and the potential contribution of FL teaching to the development of students' writing skills. * Lawrence Jun Zhang, University of Auckland, New Zealand * This is an important book which provides much-needed empirical insight into the connections between foreign language and first language teaching and learning in schools. In the context of the modern multilingual profile of school populations, the need for joined-up thinking on cross-linguistic transfer has never been more pressing. * Michael Evans, University of Cambridge, UK * In this timely and well-written book, Karen Forbes convincingly demonstrates that students' transfer of strategies across languages is a multidirectional phenomenon. The book contains an ideal balance of theory and empirical examples from L1 and FL classrooms making it highly relevant for both researchers and language teachers. * Asta Haukas, University of Bergen, Norway * Author InformationKaren Forbes is a Senior Lecturer in Second Language Education in the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, UK. She previously taught modern languages in a secondary school in England and has also taught English as a foreign language in Spain and China.
