I first read this book when I started my MA program four years ago. As a new teacher, I found it to be full of good advice. I just re-read the book at the end of my MA program, and found that the words of Richards and Lockhart are even more relevant than ever.
The format of the book gives the reader many opportunities to reflect on his or her own practice AND experience as a learner. The principles put forth in this book have truly helped guide me as a teacher and curriculum developer. This is not a book that goes on and on espousing pedagogical theory.

Unlike most of the textbooks and articles I read for my MA program, this is one I plan to keep and refer to time and again.
