This review is from: Communicate: Strategies for International Teaching Assistants (Paperback)

Those who work with international teaching assistants (ITAs) often feel a lot of pressure, both internal and external, to get it right. This book contains a balance of cultural information, presentation skills, and pronunciation intervention. I think it's a great resource.
