Table of ContentsReviewsRoss Forman offers a comprehensive account of a study on bilingual pedagogy situated in Thailand. The study is theoretically grounded in sociocultural and functional views of language and human meaning-making. It offers a 3D analysis of bilingual pedagogy by connecting it inwards to the dimension of personal lived experience and identity as well as outwards to the profession, offering research-based principles to both teachers and teacher educators. Extremely insightful and highly recommended. Angel Lin, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong A powerful yet balanced book that proposes a practical new way of looking at 21st century language teaching based firmly on evidence from the EFL classroom and on current ideas about the student as an L2 user. It is important in bringing together the principled use of the L1 in the classroom, the advantages of bilingual language teachers, and the use of teaching methods and coursebooks that integrate the students' own language and culture with their learning rather than referencing an incomprehensible alien culture. Vivian Cook, Emeritus Professor, Newcastle University, UK The generative power, sophistication and beauty of L1 in its love-hate romance with L2 is finally brought back to the table so gracefully by Forman in this long overdue book. L1 is an essential, natural and intrinsic component of foreign language teaching and learning, and therefore it must be recognized and acted upon as such, not any less, as Forman convincingly demonstrates. After all, it is time to move beyond advocating for bilingualism as a political sentiment, an external attribute and a symbolic necessity. Its power runs from within and for real.
