Linguistics for TESOL
This textbook proposes a theoretical approach to linguistics in relation to teaching English. Combining research with practical classroom strategies and activities, it aims to satisfy the needs of new and experienced TESOL practitioners, helping them to understand the features of the English language and how those features impact on students in the classroom. The author provides a toolkit of strategies and practical teaching ideas to inspire and support practitioners in the classroom, encouraging reflection through regular stop-and-think tasks, so that practitioners have the opportunity to deepen their understanding and relate it to their own experience and practice. This book will appeal to students and practitioners in the fields of applied linguistics, TESOL, EAL, English language and linguistics, EAP, and business English.
The Fundamentals of Teaching
Teachers are bombarded with advice about how to teach. The Fundamentals of Teaching cuts through the confusion by synthesising the key findings from education research and neuroscience to give an authoritative guide. It reveals how learning happens, which methods work best and how to improve any students’ learning. Using a tried-and-tested, Five-Step model for applying the methods effectively in the classroom, Mike Bell shows how you can improve learning and eliminate time-consuming, low-effect practices that increase stress and workload. He includes case studies from teachers working across different subjects and age groups which model practical strategies for: Prior Knowledge Presenting new material Setting challenging tasks Feedback and improvement Repetition and consolidation. This powerful resource is highly recommended for all teachers, school leaders and trainee teachers who want to benefit from the most effective methods in their classrooms.

Remembering the Future through Cinematic Symbols
This book explores the making of futuristic memory through cinematic symbols relating to future relationships between humans and artificial intelligence (AI). Amar Singh examines how audiences are being prepared for possible future scenarios where they may find themselves entangled with intelligent objects through developing relationships with them, and if so, how they might react when confronted by an intelligent species. Through this research, Singh focuses on both the complications and flaws of science fiction depictions of AI as well as more abstract works that, while not directly connected, contribute to a better understanding of these emerging technologies. Scholars of film, media, memory, posthuman, transhuman, and cultural studies will find particular value in this book, along with those focusing on literary and critical theory, arts and aesthetics, political sociology, and advanced research in AI.
Weighing It Up
When Ali Valenzuela was 14, she started to exercise obsessively and limit her food intake - all following an incident which completely undermined her self-confidence. By the time she was 18 her weight had fallen below 40kg (less than 6 stone) and was on the brink of death. Ali has written this book, based on her own diaries, because: 'I want people to understand that there is more to anorexia than looking thin; this is an illness that will destroy the lives of the sufferer and all who care for the sufferer, and the thin appearance is only a physical outcome of the pain and torment that goes on inside.'

This Is Our School!
2023 AERA Outstanding Book Award Winner How local educational justice movements wrestle with neoliberal school reform Parents, educators, and activists are passionately fighting to improve public schools around the country. In This Is Our School! Hava Rachel Gordon takes us inside these fascinating school reform movements, exploring their origins, aims, and victories as they work to build a better future for our education system. Focusing on a school district in Denver, Colorado, Gordon takes a look at different coalitions within the school reform movement, as well as the surprising competition that arises between them. Drawing on over eighty interviews and ethnographic research, she explores how these groups vie for power, as well as the role that race, class, and gentrification play in shaping their successes and failures, strategies and structures. Gordon shows us what happens when people mobilize from the ground up and advocate for educational change. This Is Our School! gives us an inside look at the diverse voices within the school reform movement, each of which plays an important role in the fight to improve public education.
Introduction to Research Methodology for Specialist Trainees
This book is written for trainees in all subjects related to health. Research-orientated questions are incorporated into the majority of Royal College membership examinations; for example, in the OSCE station a research study or paper has to be criticised. Because of the nature of the editors' posts and their contacts there is naturally an emphasis on the specialist registrar trainee in obstetrics and gynaecology and many of the writers and thus the examples in the text are obstetric and gynaecological, however physicians, surgeons, midwives and nurses could readily use the book.
