This is a resource book for teachers of adult second language classes which combines basic information about teaching such classes with classroom community building techniques and thematically organized classroom activities. It should appeal to new and experienced teachers, teacher trainers, programme administrators, volunteer agencies and libraries. The activities, growing out of the authors own teaching experience, are designed to meet the real needs and interests of adult L2 learners. Furthermore, because adult language teachers often have little space and few resources, the activities require a minimum of space, equipment and copying, and use easily available material. The section on community building is especially important for teachers in adult programmes with open entry policies and irregular attendance.

This is the first study skills book written directly for students on degree courses in the humanities and social sciences. It is intended to help students to make their studying more systematic and efficient and the primary focus is on subjects where essay-writing forms the basis of student work and course assessment.

There are a number of practical steps you can take to study more effectively. At degree level luck is only a very small factor in success, as failure can happen in two particular ways: misjudging requirements or not wanting to study at all. This book is about helping you to avoid the first kind of failure by making better judgements regarding what, how and why you study. More than just a basic study skills book, it blends practical ideas with sound principles, including many examples drawn from interviews with students and lecturers. The author deals with essay writing, preparing and writing a dissertation, making the best use of seminars and reading, as well as with higher level questioning techniques, data analysis and research topics.
