Study Tasks in English Teacher's Book by Mary Waters

This course enables students from intermediate level upwards to develop the skills needed for English-medium study at post-secondary level. The main features of Study Tasks in English are: * A task-based approach. Whenever possible, students learn the skills they need through discovery and induction rather than telling. * Study skills and study competence. The course helps students to develop the underlying competence necessary for successful study - eg problem solving, thinking critically and creatively. * Awareness-building. Each unit ends with a self-assessment and application section, to help learners actively draw together the skills which they have focused on in the unit. * Study Practice in English. The Study Practice section provides four major study simulations to consolidate and give further practice through an integrated study cycle.

'Study Tasks in English is clearly structured with plenty of practical examples and modelsInstructions given are kept to a minimum and written in plain, straightforward style. The format is easy to read. It has a variety of clear headings punctuated with photos, diagrams and amusing cartoons and written in plain jargon-free English ... Study Tasks in English is worth recommending to secondary teachers and to aspiring university students as well. The contents are of great importance, practical and resourceful indeed!'
