Current Trends in the Development and Teaching of the Four Language Skills
"Current Trends in the Development and Teaching of the four Language Skills" builds connections from theory in the four language skills to instructional practices. It comprises twenty-one chapters that are grouped in five sections.
The first section includes an introductory chapter which presents a communicative competence framework developed by the editors in order to highlight the key role the four skills play in language learning and teaching.
The next four sections each represent a language skill:
Section II is devoted to listening, Section III to speaking, Section IV to reading and Section V to writing. In order to provide an extensive treatment of each of the four skills, each section starts with a theoretical chapter which briefly illustrates advances in the understanding of how each skill is likely to be learned and taught, followed by four didactically oriented chapters authored by leading international specialists.
These pedagogical chapters deal specifically with four key topics: areas of research that influence the teaching of a particular skill; an overview of strategies or techniques necessary for developing a particular skill; an approach to the academic orientation of a particular skill; and unique aspects of teaching each skill.
Moreover, all chapters incorporate two common sections: pre-reading questions at the beginning of the chapter in order to stimulate readers' interest in its content, and a section entitled suggested activities at the end of the chapter in order to allow readers put the ideas and concepts presented into practice. The accessible style and practical focus of the volume make it an ideal tool for teachers, teacher trainers, and teacher trainees who are involved in teaching the four language skills in a second or foreign language context.

Creating Writers in the Primary School Practical Approaches To Inspire Teachers and Their Pupils
Building on the research of recent years and with whole-curriculum provision, it shows teachers how to actively engage children in the writing process, excite them about what they can achieve and help all children to think of themselves as writers.
The book begins with a clear analysis of what real writers really need and has chapters on working outdoors, using the very best of children's literature, drama and imaginative play, as well as sounds and images. It also features a chapter on practical, productive planning, including two case studies that show the approaches in use at schools.
"Creating Writers in the Primary Classroom" is packed with practical advice, games and strategies for the classroom based on the authors' successful experience as teachers and in-service providers. These new approaches will enable teachers to get their children up and moving, experiencing what writers experience, feeling what writers feel and, most important of all, writing how writers write.

A First Course in Essay Writing
"This is a most valuable introduction to the art (and science) of writing: it takes the student from the rudimentary to the advanced stages of writing techniques through a precise, step-by-step method. It is intended primarily as a teach-yourself course, which requires a great deal of attention to detail and to guidance on problematic points.
It can, however, be taught in class by the experienced teacher who should occasionally refer to the corresponding linguistic structures in Arabic, as well as the evolution of Modern Standard Arabic which has been influenced in the twentieth century by modern European languages. The teacher may postpone this to a later stage, when the student has fully absorbed the technical aspects of English writing
853 English Grammar Tests
You probably think to yourself that grammar is important when you want to speak correct English. And you are right of course. However, thousands of people ask themselves: How can I learn English grammar? What would you give to get an answer to this question? Well, in a few moments you can embark on your own individual journey to a high level of grammar proficiency.
But first let's take a look at the conventional grammar teaching methods and the reason they fail. The vast majority of English learners attend English classes in the hope that a teacher can teach them English grammar. They think that they must learn grammar rules and read a lot of grammar explanations.
Their teacher tells them that grammar rules are important and without a good knowledge of grammar they can't speak correct English. So the students try hard to study all the grammar rules of English. Do you know how many rules there are?
There are thousands of them and it is simply impossible to learn them all through conventional methods. Most English teachers won't tell you this but it's a fact that in order to speak correct English you actually don't have to learn grammar rules. Do you speak your native language correctly? You most certainly do. Now, how many theoretical grammar rules of your mother tongue can you explain? How often do you think about grammar rules when you speak in your native language? Why then do you think you need to be able to explain grammar rules when speaking English? What you need is to learn correct English rather than grammar rules. You want to use English as a means of communication, you don't want to give lectures on English grammar, do you?
The English Grammar Test Collection you are about to obtain has been specifically designed to help you learn correct English in a very dramatic way. Instead of studying complicated rules and explanations you will absorb English phrases and expressions easily. What you need is to trust in the capabilities of your subconscious mind. Yes, don't waste your mental energy on cramming grammar rules into your head. Concentrate on the important things.
The sentences in your English Grammar Test Collection contain a large number of commonly used expressions and phrases and all you have to do is take the multiple choice questions several times until you are absolutely confident as to the correct answer. That's it. Instead of learning grammar rules, you will be learning correct English expressions. Your subconscious mind will absorb these phrases and detect the underlying pattern.
