Publisher's Synopsis
This text is intended for participants on teacher training courses, whether students on initial courses or teachers on in-service courses. It can be read by students at their own pace, or used by tutors as part of a study programme. The exercises, similarly, can be done alone, in study groups or in class groups with tutors. Each exercise has a rough time estimate attached to it, but if being done in class an exercise may take longer to allow for class discussion.;The text is intended to be read and used by B.Ed and Certificate / Diploma of Education students and teachers in any part of the English-speaking world. Post-graduate or research students in education can also use it during particular points of their programme.;The layout of the book is such that the text is integrated with the exercises in boxes - some of which have answers or relevant comments. The chapters have summary boxes at the end of each one, and each chapter begins with a quotation.
