'This edited volume is an extensive reference, and inspiration for foreign language instructors and researchers. The 15 studies cover a broad range of themes within English language education in EFL settings, including EFL teachers' and students' views, English textbook evaluations, action research and learner autonomy. [...] This book can be useful to researchers who are interested in a quick overview of English instruction in the Arab Gulf states in general and the Sultanate of Oman in particular. Since the papers are not detailed and are not technical, they could be useful to undergraduates. In conclusion, this book represents a source for educators interested in foreign language teaching and constitutes a starting point for future research on English education in other Arab states.'Asmaa ShehataUniversity of CalgaryLINGUIST List 28.383 (2017)
