Описание: This wide-ranging, entertaining and informative book uses the framework of Hattie`s world famous research to explore the vital questions around education and the development of students in a learning society.
Описание: Even though reading and writing recommendation letters is one of the essential service tasks of the professorial life of academics, there are few resources to train graduate students and junior academics on how to draft a successful recommendation letter for different academic purposes. Writing Recommendation Letters draws linguistic and rhetorical principles from close to a thousand real-world examples of academic letters of recommendation. As a result, the research that informs the pedagogy is extensive, current, and highly relevant to the discourse of evaluation in academic settings with findings that have implications for genre-based writing instruction, English for Academic Purposes (EAP), and teaching of academic literacies. The authors are two experienced college professors who regularly teach graduate students and mentor young academics, so the reflection questions and instructor suggestions they provide were designed for today’s university classroom. The result is an instructive book that translates academic discourse structures and principles into accessible language, supplying authentic examples and ample writing practice.
Key Features
Readers will learn the theoretical context that defines the genre of letters of recommendation.
The book highlights the similarities and differences between the three different types of letters of recommendation: letters written for graduate admission, letters written in support of fellowship applications, and letters written to support obtaining a faculty position.
Chapters on different aspects of linguistic and rhetorical features discuss presenting the applicants' credentials, highlighting the strengths of their character, accentuating and downplaying certain traits, as well as the pros and cons of boilerplate language and the use of customary frames for opening and closing.
Readers will see real-world examples of actual letters of recommendation to see how seasoned faculty build the case for the applicant.

After dispelling some common myths and setting out priorities, Ruth Breeze and Carmen Sancho Guinda move on to explain how practitioners can prepare to give lectures and interact with both local and international students effectively in English, tackling difficult issues, such as encouraging participation, promoting creativity and critical thinking, and evaluating written student work. The final chapters address good practices in EMI, proposing ways to achieve excellence in global settings.

Описание: Being a high school English teacher is both rewarding and difficult. Although teacher education programs try to be thorough, they can't prepare preservice teachers for every situation that might arise. For instance:
How can an ELA teacher work with learners who have suffered significant trauma?
How can a well-prepared literature instructor teach high school students the basics of reading?
Should a teacher shy away from classroom conversations because they can become "too political"?
How does a teacher contend with a crushing workload?
These are just a few of the issues ELA teachers face every day, but On the Case in the English Language Arts Classroom provides teachers at any point in their career the opportunity to analyze potential situations and problems that commonly confront teachers through case studies that prompt extensive, stimulating discussion and invite written responses.
Four veteran teacher educators offer twenty case narratives as well as a format for discussion, professional resources that can inform decisions, and a guide to constructing new case narratives that can expand the possibilities for developing powerful problem-solving strategies.
