This handbook provides an overview of the development of language teaching materials, critical discussion of core issues, and an assessment of future directions. It is essential reading for researchers, scholars and students on MA programmes in ELT, TESOL and Applied Linguistics. This volume presents a treasure trove of scholarship, information and advice for those concerned with materials development for language teaching. The authors have drawn together writers from a range of backgrounds and specialisms to provide insight into all aspects of materials from production to adaptation and from representation to evaluation. The emphasis on the digital is particularly timely given recent moves to online learning, and the critical stance taken by many of the authors will be welcomed by the TESOL community. The Handbook should be on the library shelves of all institutions that offer language teaching programmes. Fiona Copland, University of Stirling, UK Not many books address comprehensibly the diversity of issues in materials development, materials in practice and the evaluation of materials. This book engages the reader in debate, thereby enabling the triggers to critical thought. Jayakaran Mukundan, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia
