The Teacher's Resource Manuals provide clear procedures for teaching each page of the Student Book. First, an overview lists the topics, grammar, and communication skills covered in each unit. Then, step-by-step instructions for delivering classroom lessons are given. Also included are explanations of grammar points, pronunciation pointers, information on cultural topics, tapescripts, answers for each exercise, optional activities for further practice, and specific suggestions for implementing the "Strategies for Success" modules.
Comebacks at Work: Using Conversation to Master Confrontation
A handbook for anyone who's ever walked away from a work confrontation, fuming--only to think of the perfect rejoinder an hour later. Reardon (The Secret Handshake) breaks down the art of the comeback, emphasizing preparation, keeping your cool, and handling conflicts with a carefully thought-out strategy, pointing out that each of us is at least 75% responsible for how people respond to us. She helps readers change their mindsets, getting past the mental models learned early in life that we later use for dealing with emotional or threatening issues at work.
