Transformational Teaching in the Information Age: Making Why and How We Teach Relevant to Students
How can teachers meet the challenges of engaging and educating all students, from those who are gadget-toting and plugged-in to those who are language learners or economically distressed and everyone in between? How can you help students learn what they need to know when the world and all that s in it is changing rapidly? Standards and high-stakes testing haven t answered the call, but you can.
This textbook is intended for students of materials science, of different branches of engineering and of related disciplines who need to re-activate their English language skills. Using authentic materials and figures selected from scientific texts, students will improve their reading, writing and speaking skills in a context relevant to their specialist studies.
The Student Life Handbook is a comprehensive guide that looks at every aspect of student life from the perspective of new undergraduates. It outlines what to expect, offers information and practical advice on how to meet the challenges, and suggests strategies to ease lifestyle problems and optimise opportunities and resources. Drawing on the experiences of over 160 students from all over the United Kingdom, this book presents an extensive exposition of contemporary student life.
Tests and Drills in English Grammar for foreign students
The book is planned very simply, so that there is no real problem of organization of materials. Each lesson is so arranged that the teacher simply starts with the first exercises of each lesson and proceeds through the remaining exercises. English grammar, on the whole, is relatively simple. But the real teaching problem arises from the fact that the teacher must do much more than simply explain the exercises and repeat them once or twice with the students. The students must be taught to use what they are studying. They must be given sufficient practice and repetition so that everything that they study is retained and made an active part of their everyday conversation.
All students want to succeed and you want to create great lessons so that they can do so. Both you and your students now have the opportunity to make every lesson successful. SUCCESS. It's all in the name!
