J. D. O'Connor & Clare Fletcher (Longman) "Effective pronunciation involves accurate production of individual sounds in a total language situation including stress and intonation.

Shortcuts for the Student Writer
2007-05-30 09:37:00
Jay Silverman, Elaine Hughes & Diana Roberts Wienbroer (McGraw-Hill) "This book is for you if you love to write, but it's also for you if you have to write. Shortcuts for the Student Writer is a quick guide that you can use easily, on your own, and feel confident in your writing. We suggest that you read Shortcuts for the Student Writer in small doses, out of order, when you need it. It's not like a novel that keeps you up late into the night. You'll need to read a few lines and then pause to see if you understand. After ten minutes, set the book aside. From time to time, look at the same points again as a reminder. Part 1, "Correctness," covers the most common mistakes. We put these rules first because they are what most students worry about and will want to have handy. However, when you are writing your ideas, don't get distracted with correctness; afterwards, take the time to look up the rules you need. Part 2, "Putting a Paper Together," takes you through the stages of writing

Peter Watcyn-Jones (Penguin) "Vocabulary Games and Activities for Teachers is an invaluable source book by Peter Watcyn-Jones, the author of the bestselling Test Your Vocabulary series. It is divided into two parts: Part 1 gives detailed teacher's notes for each activity, while Part 2 contains the various cards, handouts, etc. to be photocopied. There are 90 activities for teaching and revising vocabulary. These range from elementary to advanced, and many contain material to be photocopied and mounted on card. They have been devised for pair work, group work and sometimes whole class activities, and have been grouped into nine main sections which include crosswords, bingo and board games. Teachers are encouraged to adapt these activities to suit their own classroom situation. Vocabulary Games and Activities for Teachers aims to make the learning process more active and more fun. Here the teacher's role is merely that of facilitator, while the students do the work and enjoy using this


Practise Your Prepositions
2007-05-26 09:36:00
L. L. Keane (Longman) "1 This book groups prepositions into seven sets, as follows: 1 Position (Units 1-3) 2 Direction (Units 5-7) 3 Time (Units 9-10) 4 Description (Units 12-13) 5 Adjective + preposition combinations (Units 15-17) 6 Verb + preposition combinations (Units 19-22) 7 Usual phrases (Units 24-26) 2 Each unit is two pages. 3 Each set of presentation units (e.g. Units 1-3) is followed by a Mixed Practice Unit (e.g. Unit 4). These Mixed Practice Units revise the prepositions taught in the set, and usually contain some exercises which are more demanding than those in the presentation units. 4 Each presentation unit is self-contained, and therefore these units can be done in any order. It is only necessary to read the information on page 5 before starting. 5 All the work is practised in meaningful contexts, and much of it deals with the four young people introduced on page 5. 6 Many units end with a relatively open-ended exercise, in which students can use the language taught to

Elizabeth Claire "This unique resource gives you a collection of over 160 language-generating games and activities to increase ESL students' motivation, participation, and retention. Most of the activities are designed to provide natural learning experiences, thus allowing the same developmental learning processes the student used when acquiring a first language.

Guide to the Successful Thesis and Dissertation: A Handbook for Students and Faculty, Fifth Edition
2007-06-28 00:13:00
James E. Mauch & Namgi Park (Marcel Dekker, Inc.) "The first edition of this book grew out of the dearth of written information on the subject for either students or faculty. They told us they needed to know much more about doing or directing theses and dissertations than they found in college catalogues, graduate office instructions, or discussions with those who had experienced the process. We decided to write about the “how to” aspects of thesis and dissertation study and to emphasize the intellectual effort required of both students and professors. This book is designed to inform and advise about the thesis and dissertation process, how to get through it and get the most out of it. The fact that half of the students who complete course requirements do not go on to complete the dissertation (in some schools as high as 70%) makes our objective more urgent (Monaghan, 1989). This fifth edition was prompted by suggestions from students, colleagues, and other users of earlier edi

Advanced Language Practice, Revised Edition
2007-07-14 23:22:00
Michael Vince & Peter Sunderland (Macmillan Education) "The revised edition of this book is designed with a greater emphasis on text and collocation, in keeping with recent trends in the world of English as a Foreign Language. It also incorporates the many changes to the revised proficiency examination from December 2002, such as word formation and multiple word meaning. The book is also intended for use at the level of CAE, and includes new exercises practising the formal/informal register transfer task. Most of the practice sections in the Grammar and Vocabulary sections reflect such changes, and where texts are retained from the first edition, they have been given more of an exam focus. However, the core of this highly successful book remains the same. The grammar section now includes some additional revision and more subtle advanced points. Units on phrasal verbs, prepositions and linking devices are also included. The grammatical information provided can be used for reference
