Description

Every teacher in English is a teacher of English. This fundamental truth has never been more relevant, as literacy plays a significant impact on young people's life-chances. To help build their communication, reading and writing skills, it is every teacher's responsibility. This book offers straightforward techniques to transform students into better speakers, listeners, readers and writers. By applying knowledge consistently across classrooms, teachers can help pupils become more confident in their subjects. The book provides simple steps to improve spelling, vocabulary, speaking, reading and writing skills, making it accessible to all teachers, regardless of subject. Structured into clear sections with practical units, the book also includes language commentaries, talking points for self-assessment, a glossary, subject-specific vocabulary, tutor time spellings lists, and a reading list on teaching, language, literacy and education.
