Action Reflection Learning (TM)Readers may never think of learning, training, or teaching the same way again! Building on the pioneering fundamentals of effective adult learning and many of the core principles of today's popular action learning methodology, Action Reflection Learning delivers a next-generation approach that will transform the way adult learning takes place.
Focusing each lesson on a single theme that will engage students of all ages, this guidebook encourages teachers to use the topic of food to bring a lively change of pace to the language arts classroom. Pring a wide range of tools—including word games, writing prompts, and research-oriented activities—this resource applies the skills taught in any English class, middle through high school, in a quirky and accessible manner.
Since its initial publication in 1993, this entertaining grammar book has helped thousands of middle school teachers teach even the most reluctant learners using lessons that de-emphasize rote learning and treat the parts of speech as building blocks for crazy writing assignments. Prompts include using at least 10 prepositional phrases from a list to write a scene from the new vegetable horror novel Squash Cemetery, and using lively verbs to write the monologue of a soda can telling his miserable life story to a psychologist.
Excellent introduction to Phonetics, Phonology and pronunciation.
This seventh edition has been revised throughout, with particular emphasis on those areas which have seen rapid change in recent years. A new Introduction gives an overview of phonetics, examines the notion of a standard English accent and outlines key concepts in the learning of English as a first language and as an additional language. All the central chapters have been updated, notably by the inclusion of revised articulatory diagrams based on recent MRI scans.
