Teaching English Creatively (Learning to Teach in the Primary School)
What does it mean to teach English creatively to primary school children?
How can you successfully develop pupils’ engagement with reading and writing skills?
Teaching English Creatively demonstrates the potential of creative teaching to develop children’s knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes. Underpinned by theory and research, it also offers informed and practical support to both students in initial teacher education, and practising teachers who want to develop their teaching.
'Valerie Coultas’s book on talk is primarily addressed to secondary English teachers, especially those who enjoy the challenge and lively contexts of inner city classrooms, providing the teaching equivalent of white water rafting. She has a lot of experience of working with pupils whose reading and writing skills are weak, but who bring to the classroom enormous energy and a wealth of experience combined with the ability to creatively express themselves orally in many different languages and vernaculars.
This book has exceeded even my highly set expectations after reading reviews from my predecessors. The entire poker spectrum is dealt with creatively and with skillful flair. Your pace of reading is never obstructed by incomprehensible sentences or theories. It reads like watching a good movie: there is no way to stop reading, unless you doze off after several hours, and you remain constantly fascinated wanting more. Notice however that if you're looking for advanced poker theories, this would not be the right choice for you. Any other player, from beginner to somewhat experienced, will gain a lot from this excellent reference guide. Bottomline: A must-have before plunging into the vast virtual library of poker literature.
