Reviews

Compared to previous edited volumes on OIE... this book sheds more light on the recent university-level OIE projects. The text excels at providing breadth and sophistication in addressing discrete, task-based language learning pedagogies whilst keeping in mind a critically framed holistic perspective of developing intercultural communication competence. One of the book's primary advantages is that it explores highly diverse OIE practices, incorporating the roles of university education policy makers as well as OIE practioners, which will likely be useful for those planning for the future design and implementaion of an OIE project. -- Moonyoung Park, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
