Both chapters equip teachers or anyone passionate about teaching with the necessary knowledge and skills to make evidence-based and informed decisions regarding the use of resources, especially when teaching a language. These chapters also provide creative and innovative ideas on how to design your own resources for the classroom or playroom. For more information on the textbook, follow this link.

Dr West also published two chapters titled: Lesson planning and Teaching for diversity in another textbook by Van Schaiks, Teaching in the Foundation Phase.
