Hands on - A collection of ESL Literacy Activities

Chapters 1–5 are in sequential order for learners at a very basic level. Each of these five chapters builds on the previous chapter. Chapters 6–14 are in no particular order and should be selected according to learners’ level, needs and interests. The directions on each page are written for instructors. Each page has a variety of activities that can be presented for that page.
 
 
It is not recommended that all the suggested activities are attempted at one time, but that some are used for review. The activities in this book were developed to be learnercentered and instructors are strongly encouraged to adapt and personalize the activities to reflect learners’ own life experiences.

Escaping the Endless Adolescence How We Can Help Our Teenagers Grow Up Before They Grow Old

Welcome to the stunted world of the Endless Adolescence. Recent studies show that today’s teenagers are more anxious and stressed and less independent and motivated to grow up than ever before. Twenty-five is rapidly becoming the new fifteen for a generation suffering from a debilitating “failure to launch.” Now two preeminent clinical psychologists tell us why and chart a groundbreaking escape route for teens and parents.
 
 
Drawing on their extensive research and practice, Joseph Allen and Claudia Worrell Allen show that most teen problems are not hardwired into teens’ brains and hormones but grow instead out of a “Nurture Paradox” in which our efforts to support our teens by shielding them from the growth-spurring rigors and rewards of the adult world have backfired badly. 
 
 
Today’s teens are starved for the lost fundamentals they need to really grow: adult connections and the adult rewards of autonomy, competence, and mastery. Restoring these will help them unlearn their adolescent helplessness and grow into adults who can make you–and themselves–proud.

A Writers Reference 8th Edition by Diana Hacker and Nancy Sommers

For success in college, no skill is more critical than writing; it’s the very core of a student’s academic experience. Tested and trusted, A Writer’s Reference is an essential tool for students who are strengthening habits and skills that will support them throughout college.
 
 
In an April 2014 survey of first-year writers, 75 percent reported that using a Hacker handbook made them a more confident academic writer. What’s more, A Writer’s Reference has been a powerful tool for change across college campuses—helping to create a culture of writing at many schools by supporting a common language for talking about academic writing. In that way, A Writer’s Reference is uniquely positioned to help transform attitudes about the value of writing instruction and the role that writing plays in academic work and in higher learning.
 
 
With this eighth edition of the handbook, author Nancy Sommers invites you to be part of a community of those who teach and assign writing; who believe that critical reading, analytical writing, responsible research, and clarity are at the center of effective writing across the academy; and who use the nation’s best-selling and most responsive handbook to support the development of the college writer.

A Guide to Better Spelling by Angela Burt

There are plenty of exercises, dictation passages and revision tests because practice and drill are vital. The user should work steadily and not try to do too much at one time as the work is concentrated and ‘a little and often’ is good advice in spelling practice.
 
 
The answers to all the exercises are at the back of the book. Many users will have to eradicate mistakes which have been repeated for years. It is not easy to break these old habits, but it can be done if the user is determined. A student once remarked, ‘If there’s a right way to spell a word, and that is exactly the attitude to take over spelling improvement.
