Learning to Teach in Higher Education by Paul Ramsden

This book addresses the problem of how best to evaluate and improve the standard of higher education teaching in a climate of accountability and appraisal.


It links educational theory and the practical realities of teaching in an entirely new way. Designed for the use of practising lecturers, it argues that becoming a good teacher in higher education involves listening to one’s students and changing one’s understanding of teaching.

Fostering Independent Learning Practical Strategies to Promote Student Success

This book will help adults empower students to become independent learners. The topic of study skills often targets mechanics of academic learning and focuses on areas such as improving homework completion and time management.


This book goes beyond these mechanics by addressing underlying psychological factors that influence learning. We expand the goals of improving study skills from simply helping students get better grades in school to helping them become independent learners who know how to learn effectively in any life situation. Adopting this expanded focus will enable adults to help students learn independently in academic and nonacademic areas throughout their school years into adulthood.

CAMBRIDGE How English Works A Grammar Handbook with Readings

How English Works is unique in that it offers grammatical instruction and exercises based on published readings. Part II contains sixteen glossed readings; Part I contains grammar chapters that use the readings for examples and exercises.
 
 
 
The book presents the basic principles of how English works for general academic purposes. It describes the common, frequently used structures of English for intermediate students and for more advanced students who have gaps in their knowledge or need review. It explains common exceptions to general principles, helping students to make sense of the patterns they see when they read.
 
 
 
However, it does not attempt to cover every nuance of the language, every exception to every rule, every facet of specialized disciplines. Students need to know patterns that they can rely on, that will work for them most of the time. This book, then, offers broad strokes, not minute detail. Wherever possible, boxes, charts, and tables are used to clarify and highlight grammatical structures. (from the preface)
