English for Life: Listening B1+ Intermediate

To improve your listening skills, you need to hear real conversations. That’s why Collins Listening is based entirely on 50 authentic everyday interactions to help you understand what is said to you, whatever the circumstances.
From buying a mobile phone to asking for directions, joining a gym to understanding transport announcements, Listening will help you understand what is said to you in real life situations and make sure everything you learn is useful.

A fascinating account of the range of teaching, assessing and feedback strategies used by individual 'expert' teachers. The book describes:
*the most common lesson patterns, why and when they are used
*how teaching strategies are varied according to subjects
*how assessment and feedback information can encourage pupils to learn
*the differences in teaching seven year olds and eleven year olds

Teachers are very good at providing excellent opportunities for children’s learning to progress. Often, without fully understanding the reasons why, teachers encourage learning in their charges which works very well, and is a very good approach at a particular time with a particular child or group of children. With greater insight into what is currently known about the processes of learning and about individual learning preferences, teachers are able to provide even better learning situations which are even more likely to lead to effective learning.
