Teaching Other Subjects Through English (Resource Books for Teachers)
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has attracted great interest in recent years, especially in Europe but increasingly more widely in the world. This is undoubtedly linked to the expansion of subject teaching in English, whether in state pilot experimental schools, universities, or international schools. This in its turn rides on the back of the tendency for parents to want their children to make an earlier start in learning English.
This fully updated third edition contains practical and useful advice that will be invaluable for students with dyslexia, their parents and all of those involved in teaching and supporting them in their studies.

Anansi Boys is Gaiman's own blend of mythologically charged thriller, along the lines of his earlier novel American Gods. This time the story is set in the UK and the Caribbean and it's about gods, the magic of stories and the power of song. And in audio at least, it's even better. The audio book is comparatively easy listening and the narrator, Lenny Henry, is an uncannily successful match for the story. Born in the UK to Jamaican parents, Henry straddles the two cultures comfortably and brings the songs, strories and characters in the novel to glorious life. An absolute delight to those of us who enjoy accents and good story-telling.

Are you part of the "sleepless, sexless" club?
