Alright I did the tests today and this thing helps, works and all in between. Could need an update though, education has changed a lot since this came out.
Great book for beginners. It includes three parts: what is a language (linguistics-related), how to teach a language (teaching methodology), and what to teach (resources). The authors use the simplest and most fluent language to make things clear. Although the content may sometimes seem shallow or less supportive or repeating, this is because its target readers are new teachers. All in all, great book for beginners.
