A Book Review on Fifty Strategies to Boost Cognitive Engagement

Abstract

Along with research-based and state-of-the-art reviews, book reviews can be found in language teacher periodicals. However, less attention has been given to reviews on academic books emphasizing on the issues of cognitive engagement. As such, this paper seeks to review the book entitled, Fifty Strategies to Boost Engagement: Creating a Thinking Culture in the Classroom (50 Teaching Strategies to Support Cognitive Development) by Rebecca Stobaugh. Generally, this book adds to our understanding of how an educator needs to improve on the skill of engagement particularly through the cognitive domain.
