Bridging English helps fill gaps in understanding

This textbook is packed full of great information for current and future teachers of English. While a little dry at times, ultimately this text is a resource well worth having.

The best Teaching English book out there...

I can't comment on the third edition entirely because I only have the second edition--from '99--but what's in there is really impressive, even to a methods cynic like myself. What I like about the Milner's is that they don't hesitate to give their textbook a personal slant: they provide their own perspective on theories and research as it relates to English instruction, and their classroom ideas are essentially their own preferences, based on reviewing lots of different sources. I personally can't stand it when a book comes out with the same old KWL charts and whatnot, so I love that many of the ideas in this book are novel and not familiar to most English teacers; it definitely stands out from similar texts.

A Must Own for every English Teacher

This is one terrific source for any English teacher as it's chock full of wonderful ideas for helping our students connect with language through a variety of mediums.
