Description: "Mr. Yang has written thoughtfully and in great detail about how he learned progressive pedagogies such as cooperative learning and then applied and reshaped them for his own teaching of English as a Foreign Language in China. As part of this work and in close collaboration with his students he developed a new cooperative learning model -- Jigsaw III -- that will be of interest to teachers at many different levels. The move from traditional to more progressive pedagogies is typically sought after by policy makers yet challenging for teachers. Mr. Yang has capably described how he made this journey in a Chinese context through intercultural exchange and in the company of his students" -- Review by Mike Charles, Ph.D., Associate Professor, College of Education, Pacific University, Oregon.
