Whenever Leo and his best friend Antonio take a walk, Leo always pulls his hardest to go say hello to all the kids in the neighborhood. But one day, Leo pulls a little too hard and breaks free of Antonio. It's all fun and games for Leo until he gets lost...and lonely. Read along to find out if Leo is found...and if he learns an important lesson along the way. The Author, Tony Navarro met Cynthia in Santa Barbara while managing a Technology Facility. The two became instant friends. They share the same love for dogs and God. Cynthia told Tony that she believed they were meant to meet.

After Leo went over the Rainbow Bridge, Tony was left heart broken and felt a big loss in his life. That is when he decided to write a children's story dedicated to Leo. Cynthia was the first person to read Leo's Lesson. Tony asked Cynthia if she would create the Art for the book. At that moment, they both knew why Cynthia felt her feelings about this collaboration. And here it is, the start of a series of books inspired by Tony's own Labrador Retrievers with the first being, Leo's Lesson.

Providing a series of chapters, written by teacher educators in three continents, this edited volume explores the concepts, challenges, possibilities, and implementations of competency-based instruction for developing English competencies in English as a foreign language (EFL) contexts. Recent trends in education have emphasized the need to develop competencies that connect learning with real-life performances. This need has brought about a massive increase in the number of studies and scholarly works devoted to research into competency-based education. However, for teachers and learners of EFL, it is challenging to develop competencies for using a language that does not seem to connect with their real-life scenarios. The chapters apply the concept of competency-based instruction in different EFL contexts and are structured around three themes: Theory: current thoughts on theories of competency-based education Research: empirical research on competency-based teacher education Practice: integrating competency-based instruction into teacher education This book offers examples of competency-based EFL teacher education through both research and practical applications. In addition to the innovation in competency approaches, the inclusion of language learning in virtual environments offers a valuable resource for scholars, educators, researchers, and all those concerned with current and future education.
