Summary Sadler's team describe the features of virtual environments and present them as a way to enhance language learning, promote collaborative learning, and improve communication skills, through simulations and lifelike experiences. The book may well be of value to teachers and researchers who are interested in learning something (or something more) on the potential of these virtual worlds. If it is likely to interest you, you may wish to borrow a copy for a while. Cristina Oddone
