Description
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.
Reviews / Votes
'Study Tasks in English is clearly structured with plenty of practical examples and models. Instructions 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!'
