Pressezitat
"I believe that Hann has achieved his purpose to show readers how low-proficiency adult learners can use language to play despite their limitations. ... Hann has made a valuable contribution in revealing deep insight into the meaning of laughter in the language classroom, and the ubiquitous ways in which play is present in the to-and-fro of healthy classroom communication."
