<br/><br/> To truly own and direct one's professional work as a lanugage instructor, teachers must develop their ability to analyze their approach to language teaching and learning.  In Understanding Language Teaching: Reasoning in Action, Karen Johnson examines three teacher's commentaries about what they know, believe, and think about the learning process, thereby enabling readers to begin to understand and enhance their own reasoning and teaching practices. - Back cover
