Teaching techniques in English as a second language.
Series Editors: Russell N.Campbell and William E. Rutherford
Techniques and Resources in Teaching Grammar is for teachers who are asking whether, when, and how to teach grammar. It addresses general questions of grammar in ESL theory and classroom practice. Ideas for teaching grammar creatively are suggested, including specific suggestions for most beginning-level structures. This book includes 11 chapters: background, getting ready to teach grammar, listening and responding, telling stories, dramatic activities and roleplay, picture, realia and the classroom, graphics, songs and verse, games and problem-solving activities, text-based exercises and activities.
HOT TOPICS is guaranteed to engage readers, stimulate thinking, and provoke conversation while developing vocabulary and reading skills. The controversial topics explored in the text all have more than one side to them, thus encouraging debate and classroom discussion.
This series of four grammar exercise books features structures and
vocabulary tied to real and meaningful contexts to help students learn
more rapidly and efficiently.
-- Instead of abstract theory and
examples, students get practice, practice, practice -- organized into
themes that make it easy to learn and remember the concepts presented.
-- Can be used for individual or classroom practice, follow-up, review, or homework.
-- Answer keys are included in the back of each book.
The starting point for this collection is a chapter by Dick Allwright on the language learning and teaching classroom experience entitled Six Promising Directions in Applied Linguistics.
The other distinguished contributors respond to this discussion with
their own interpretations and from their own experience. The collection
problematizes prescription,
efficiency, and technical solutions as orientations to classroom
language learning. Complexity and idiosyncrasy, on the other hand, are
recognized as central concepts in a move towards centralizing teachers'
and learners' own understanding of "classroom life", in the contexts of
language learning, adult literacy education and language teacher
education.
This workbook is designed to help non-native English speakers improve their knowledge and understanding of core banking and financial terminology.
Self-study exercises and practical exercises for classroom use are included, making it easy to test your classroom knowledge at home. It uses a variety of engaging activities such as word games, crosswords, speaking exercises and group games, which make learning easy and fun!
