This book will be useful to those undertaking research, practical projects and doing works - on the ground in both formal and non-formal teaching. The extensive body of information and knowledge gathered by the authors will be helpful to both researchers and practitioners, contributing towards developing their capacity so that they may become even better at what they do."
