Using Student-Centered Methods with Teacher- (Pippin Teacher's Library)

Pippin Publishing Corporation

This book has a clear message for classroom teachers: student learning improves when teachers introduce their students to strategies for learning as well as teaching them specific language skills. In practice, however, many of the students themselves are more teacher-centered, finding it easier and preferable to depend on their teachers rather than to take on greater responsibility for their own learning, especially if their educational and cultural backgrounds have not prepared them for this new role. Using Student-Centered Methods with Teacher-Centered Students is packed with suggestions for bringing about a successful match between teachers' preferred ways of teaching and learners' preferred ways of learning, while gradually encouraging increased learner autonomy. The original edition of this book has been widely used by English language teachers worldwide. This new edition offers many fresh ideas, particularly in the area of technology in language learning and teaching.

Supporting the Professional Development of English Language Teachers

Applying the principles of facilitative teaching to mentorship, this book brings together well-established knowledge about mentoring with the experiences and ideas of mentors in the field to advance and support the professional development of language teachers. Recognizing the impact of globalization and technology, Smith and Lewis identify processes and pathways for mentors to develop multi-layered skills for working with teachers in both their own and cross-cultural contexts, and in face-to-face and virtual settings. Grounded in theory, this innovative approach is illustrated with authentic experiences, and ready to be applied by readers in their specific settings around the world. With an interactive design that encourages participation and practice, each chapter includes vignettes, reflections, and challenging scenarios from mentors in training. Self-reflection and task sections at the end of each chapter engage the reader in combining theory with practice. Sample materials such as mentor-mentee contracts, work plans, journal templates, discussion suggestions (face-to-face or online), and observation forms deepen understanding and enable mentors to adapt or create their own materials. This practical and context-adaptable guide is accessible to mentors at any career stage, for use in personal professional development, or as part of mentor training sessions.

Marilyn Lewis has been feeding and clothing the glitterati in Hollywood, Washington, D.C., and across the country for decades. First gaining fame as the glamorous helmstress (with husband Harry) of the legendary actors-serve-actors Hamburger Hamlet, Marilyn went on to become one of the first woman CEOs of a multi-million dollar company; designer of her own successful couture clothing line (Cardinali, dressing Marlo Thomas, Dionne Warwick, and Eydie Gorme among others); and most recently, producer of feature films on cultural icons Andy Warhol and Ayn Rand. Through it all, Marilyn was never too busy to prepare feast after feast, earning her an intimate place in the hearts of the stars, starletts, and sundry colorful characters that flocked to her table. In "MARILYN, ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN COOK?", Marilyn shares the captivating story of her eclectic times in what is by turns charming, inspirational memoir and engaging history of America's food revolution. In addition to her many vibrant, heartfelt remembrances, this volume includes Marilyn's signature recipes, from a silky lobster bisque to her legendary hamburger to a leg of lamb that helped sell the icy Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman buyers the first Cardinali collection. If you've ever dreamed of opening a restaurant, becoming a designer, or producing a film, Marilyn Lewis shows you that with the right ingredients and an adjustable flame, dreams can and really do come true.

It is no easy task to move from a general English proficiency to navigating the specialized English of theological resources. In addition to linguistic challenges, theology students with English as a second or foreign language face difficult concepts and different ways of thinking. In response, Exploring Parables in Luke aims to help such students more effectively engage with the literature of their field. Chapter by chapter, as students work to interpret Jesus’ parables in light of his person and work, they will grow in both their English and theological proficiency. As a result, students will be better able not only to access English language theological libraries, but also to contribute to them.
