T.T.T. comes on time, as far as teaching/learning is concerned in Africa.

Teacher training has become a major concern and educators, parents,

students and also deciders at the highest level of governments agree

on that. Not only are initial teaching skills lacking but in-service follow

up is suffering from means, time and motivation for many reasons that

are sometimes specific to every country. Such a synopsis does not

mean that the teaching is bad, not at all. This book by Rokhaya Samb

represents for all actors an opportunity to show confidence and pride

in the teaching of English, in teachers and teacher educators.

T.T.T. will for sure, contribute to develop teachers, students and

teacher trainers' range of choices and strategies. This book, as you will

notice, provides specialists with other ways of reinforcing the academic

level of trainees with comprehension and production activities. Then,

some approaches and methods are proposed with explanations and

clear instructions.

Comments by trainees on real teaching situations are part of this

work, with the trainer's notes about other activities. All that is backed

up with a reflection on issues such as motivation, leadership and

critical thinking in teaching. Models of activities are presented, aiming

at enhancing personal and professional development at all levels.
