We arc therefore extremely pleased that Diane Larsen-Freeman has undertaken to con- tribute to the field of language -teaching professionals a newly revised, updated, and enlarged version of her original and immensely valua ble Techniques and Principles in Language Teaching . The ways in which the second edition differs from the first- from the addition of new methods, throu gh more att ention to the learnin g process, to a little self-indulgence in methodological choice-arc amply documented in Diane's own mes- sage 'To the Teacher Educator', and these arc departures that are both appr opriate an d illuminating. What has not changed, however- and modesty wo uld prevent her from saying so-are the intangible qualities that made the first edition so special: enlightenment withou t condescen- sion, comprehensiveness wit hout tedium, engagement without oversim- plification. Still evident as before is Diane's gift for being ab le gently to lea d one to examine one's own professional behavior for possible incon- gruities betwee n one's view of language and the way one teaches it. And still there, even intensified, is evidence of her serious and deeply persona l thought devoted to comp lex pedagogical issues and her incomparable ability to make these matters come alive with great clarity for the widest professional readership. It is no mean accomp lishment. Russell N. Campbell William E. Rutherford
