There are certainly a large number of educators for whom this book will be a walk along paths they already know intimately. Unfortunately, there is an even larger number of teachers who are familiar with these teaching methods but only use a fraction of them. They may even ask, 'Why should I know them? Isn't it enough to stand in front of the class and dictate a bunch of facts to them?' This publication does not repeat theoretical lists of definitions from previous authors but shows, in an engaging manner, the way to effective practical teaching. The teaching methods and activities are selected and described to be applicable for versatile use, and are generally supplemented with illustrative examples. The individual chapters categorize the methods according to their usage and allow for quick and clear orientation. A key part is the lexicon of teaching methods, which are described methodologically and didactically, as well as the assessment methods. The publication is an excellent guide and an indispensable resource for the modern teacher.
