This title considers the philosophical debates surrounding the existance, teaching and transferability of thinking skills. "Teaching Thinking Skills" by Steve Johnson was initially published by the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain in 2000. In this new edition, Johnson has updated his argument, Harvey Siegel has contributed a counter-argument and Christopher Winch has provided a foreword and afterword, drawing the debates together.
Language and Literacy Development in Bilingual Settings
Grounded in state-of-the-art research, this book explores how English language learners develop both the oral language and literacy skills necessary for school success. Chapters examine the cognitive bases of English acquisition, and how the process is different for children from alphabetic (such as Spanish) and nonalphabetic (such as Chinese) language backgrounds. The book addresses a key challenge facing educators and clinicians: identifying students whose poor English skills may indicate an underlying impairment, as opposed to still-developing language proficiency. Implications for diagnosis, intervention, and instruction are highlighted throughout.
This is part of an upper intermediate course for teenagers. Students gain expertise in all four language skills to prepare them for First Certificate, and the constant testing and practice opportunities are designed to provide a thorough grounding in grammar and skills. Features of the course include: a variety of reading tests designed to appeal to teenagers; storylines with teenage characters, which aim to encourage reading for pleasure and discussion; a balanced writing syllabus to build up process writing skills; pronunciation hotspots to tackle stress and intonation; and grammar boxes designed to revise, consolidate and extend students' knowledge.
