The political complexion of the old Czechoslovakia has changed much since the first edition of this guide in 1992, and these changes are reflected in this revised and updated edition. The author tours through castles and spa towns, as well as old villages farther afield, and he covers all aspects of this fascinating country, including the glories of its art and architecture, but also its music, literature, and cinema.

Designing Tasks for the Communicative Classroom (Language Teaching Library) by David Nunan
Designing Tasks for the Communicative Classroom provides a balanced introduction to both the theoretical and practical aspects of communicative task design, and is aimed at all second and foreign language teachers who want to develop their own tasks, or adopt/adapt those of others. The major purpose is to integrate recent research and practice in language teaching into a framework for analysing learning tasks. This framework should help teachers select, adapt or create their own communicative tasks. The ideas presented are relevant to teachers working in or preparing for a range of teaching situations with a variety of learner types.
