Understanding Teenage Language Learners Online complements Understanding Teenagers in the ELT Classroom, also by Chris Roland. The two books can be used together, as this new title examines how a large numer of principles of best practice from face-to-face lessons (as covered in Understanding Teenagers in the ELT Classroom) translate to online teaching, or they can each be used on their own.
