The Teacher Guide is basically a collection of material that could be used as lesson plans, an introductory course for young children or an outline and starting point for bigger course for young children learning English. It served as the official course material for a network of after-school English academies in France. It was written by Luc Ciotkowski with novice teachers in mind in a simple, informal style.
A four-part series designed to meet the
needs of secondary students continuing English as well as those
starting English for the first time.
Dream Team
is a communicative course that teaches students how to use language in
real situations, while also paying careful attention to grammar,
vocabulary, and pronunciation.
Strong emphasis is placed on
the clear and thorough presentation of grammar points, followed up by
systematic practice throughout the course.
Plenty of practice is given from the
start in reading, writing, listening, and speaking, training students to communicate fluently and effectively in English.
Stimulating
and engaging topics, and an amusing and lively presentation story
involving the activities of teenagers, appeal directly to the age
group.
There is a solid built-in process of revision and consolidation, which trains students to review what they
have learnt regularly and systematically, and helps them prepare for tests.
The
course offers a range of flexible options to help teachers meet the
needs of their particular teaching situation. These include an optional
introductory section, an optional final 'Bonus unit' and optional
projects and stories.
Research monograph presenting a new approach to Computational Linguistics The ultimate goal of Computational Linguistics is to teach the computer to understand Natural Language. This research monograph presents a description of English according to algorithms which can be programmed into a computer to analyse natural language texts. The algorithmic approach uses series of instructions, written in Natural Language and organised in flow charts, with the aim of analysing certain aspects of the grammar of a sentence. One problem with text processing is the difficulty in distinguishing word forms that belong to parts of speech taken out of context. In order to solve this problem, Hristo Georgiev starts with the assumption that every word is either a verb or a non-verb. Form here he presents an algorithm which allows the computer to recognise parts of speech which to a human would be obvious though the meaning of the words. Emphasis for a computer is placed on verbs, nouns, participles and adjectives. English Algorithmic Grammar presents information for computers to recognise tenses, syntax, parsing, reference, and clauses.
