Amazing English! How-To Handbook: Instructional Strategies for the Classroom Teacher for Cultural Diversity, Language Acquisition, Literacy, Academic Content, Assessment

by Michael Walker

"Amazing English" is an integrated course designed to teach children aged 6-12. It features exciting themes, making it easier to teach and reinforce language, concepts and skills, and it also aims to develop a love of reading, with simple classics, read-aloud favourites and non-fiction. There are six readers (Little Books) for each of the first three levels, with an accompanying Big Book. Assessment is a part of every lesson, making the course easier to administer, and there are also a range of teaching strategies designed to help teachers to implement "Language Experience", "Whole Language" and other techniques. Additional to the course is "Wordstuff", a multimedia workbook using interactive graphics, animation and sound to teach reading readiness.

very useful for studying for the ESL certification test. If i passed, it is because of this book!

[Sarah]

Decent information but far too textbooky (yes, I know it's not a word) to be of much use in an actual classroom.
