English Language Skills for Higher Level Synopsis: Even for unseen elements of the Higher English examination, such as the interpretation section, there are skills a student can practice to improve their performance. A good writing style is of great importance to an examiner and pupils must demonstrate thier abilities in word choice, sentence structure, tone, imagery, punctuation etc. This book will explain the techniques required to become a good writer. It will also teach pupils how to recognise the demands of a question, providing an understanding of the phrasing and proposing methods of approaching writing an appropriate response.
In this book, an international group of leading higher education researchers draw on a wealth of social theory and comparative, empirical research to analyse current developments and their implications. Different contributions focus on different levels of higher education, the system, the institution and the academic practitioner, in different national and international contexts. However, strong common themes bind these contributions together. They include not only the significance of massification, globalisation, neo-liberalism and managerialism for the governance of higher education, its knowledge and values, but also the complexities of change processes, the importance of context and history and the strength of the stabilities that remain.
Pedagogies for the Future illustrates a unique and exciting endeavor whereby a group of academics across one university developed a professional learning community for the purposes of investigating, articulating and developing their scholarship of practice. Through their collaborative efforts, these educator-researchers sit at the forefront of calls to take teaching seriously in higher education and to recognize the powerful potential of interdisciplinary collaboration. The book provides a model for establishing learning communities in higher education and demonstrates that such work is not only possible but also successful.
