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.
