Why Chosen

This was one of the first books that I read in graduate school during my MA in a teaching methods class. Many years later, I still find this book to be relevant and inspiring. I often assign it in the teaching methods class that I regularly teach and in other second language and applied linguistics courses that I've taught and my students also always enjoy learning from it. The book pushed me to think more deeply about my teaching and has inspired my research in various ways.
