NZ$ 89.95 each
Paperback
Author: Kathy Pitt
Published by: Brunner-Routledge
This unique book provides a lively introduction to the theory and research surrounding the adult learning of ESOL. Offering a comprehensible discussion of contemporary debates, the book examines a wide geographical and social spread of issues, such as: * how to understand the universal characteristics of learning an additional language * what makes a 'good' language learner * multilingualism and the assumptions about monolingualism * learning the written language * the effect of recent Government immigration policy on language learning processes.

NZ$ 37.99 each
Paperback
Author: Ilana Snyder
Published by: Allen & Unwin
Do we have a literacy crisis?Fierce debates in the media over how to teach children to read and write have reached new heights in recent years. The intensity of the debates is not surprising as literacy education matters to everyone, but there is collateral damage. Public confidence in literacy teachers has been undermined and many believe we have a literacy crisis in our schools.The Literacy Warsexplains the reasons for the often bitter disagreements between the critics who want to reclaim old ways of teaching literacy and the educators who emphasise the possibilities for creative change. It is a story of strong beliefs and deep divisions. It is also a story of the politicisation of the debates, which has repercussions for policy decisions and funding.Drawing comparisons with the UK and the United States, The Literacy Warsshows how the debates in Australia resonate with similar battles in other parts of the world. The challenge facing ... more

Top Tools for Literacy and Thinking order quantity

NZ$ 69.99 each
Mixed-media pack
Author: David Whitehead
Published by: Pearson Education NZ
DoP March 2009, NZ
196pp plus CD

The New Zealand Curriculum identifies the Key Competency of thinking in terms of creative, critical, and meta-cognitive processes. These types of thinking are used to make sense of information, experiences, and ideas, to create knowledge, to make decisions, to question and to solve problems. Top Tools for Literacy and Thinking provides teachers with the tools to encourage these types of thinking in their students and so stimulate intellectual curiosity, which is at the heart of this competency.

The book takes a similar approach to previous ones in this series (Top Tools for Teaching Thinking, 2004 and Top Tools for Literacy and Learning, 2001) but in this one tools are linked to specific text types, making it more focussed and at the same time broader in its appeal.

* Examples of teachers using the tools in the classroom
* All the tools are described at three levels of challenge

Who Said That First? The curious origins of common words and phrases order quantity

NZ$ 29.99 each
Paperback
Author: Max Cryer
Published by: Exisle Publishing Ltd
Many bright minds have come up with expressions we now take for granted as part of the English language, and which we use freely in vernacular speech. But the originators of many of our most useful second-hand remarks go uncredited. The Bible and Shakespeare are rich sources of many common phrases, but in this book Max Cryer concentrates on familiar expressions whose origins lie elsewhere. So who said it first? This collection sets out to credit - as far as it's possible to do so - the people who actually created many familiar terms in common use. For example, poor Ernest Dowson is all but forgotten, but author Margaret Mitchell read his 1891 poem 'Non Sum Qualis' and brought one phrase from that poem to the attention of millions. The phrase that caught her eye was 'gone with the wind'. (In 1867, Dowson also wrote another familiar phrase: 'the days of wine and roses'). Written in Max Cryer's delightfully witty style, Who Said That ... more
