  • Understanding Multimodal Discourses in English

    Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Understanding Multimodal Discourses in English

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisTextbooks are indispensable components and in some case the cornerstones of the mission of English Language Teaching (ELT). However, they are artefacts of a pedagogical culture that rarely echo the concerns of their most prolific consumers: teachers and students. This book offers a useful framework for evaluating ELT textbooks from a critical discourse perspective; one that is based on sound current research but also offers practical guidance to teachers. Building from a foundational understanding of ELT textbooks, the author presents a systematic procedure to critically analyze their multimodal discourse, examine how those discourses are negotiated between teachers and students in class, and measure how those consumers privately value the lessons. The book provides teachers with the tools they need to select and adapt materials based on critical multimodal discourse analysis, where not only the text but the pictures, websites, audio, visual elements too are subjected to a process whicTrade ReviewThis is multimodal critical discourse analysis at its best. The book guides the reader clearly and carefully in how to not take textbooks at face value. It produces fascinating and striking insights into the ideas and values carried by English language teaching books which may be less obvious to the casual user. Done in a lively and accessible pedagogical style it has the potential to foster a wave of critical work which has been severely lacking in this field. * David Machin, Professor, Zhejiang University, China *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

    Book SynopsisAn inspirational book that studies the development of mark-making skills in relation to ''talk'' and provides age-appropriate activities to use with young children that will have a significant impact on their learning.There is so much that you can do with children to get them ready to write. Mark-making development in boys is statistically slower and less successful than girls.

His book will help practitioners not only to understand the development stages of becoming a mark maker but also to provide tried and tested activities and interventions to use. Using these techniques, he believes they will see a significant increase in progress for both boys and girls!As the content is appropriate to stage of development and not age of child it is aimed at children of all ages Trade ReviewA thought provoking book which will lead to plenty of discussion in Early Years settings * www.parentsintouch.co.uk *

Three of many images that Amie offers to engage young people in starting a conversation about their feelings. We all have them, and now we have an activity book to help us deal with our emotions. -- David Gumbrell, author of The Amazing A-Z of ResilienceThis brilliant book of stories is a lovely way into discussions about a wide range of feelings. The stories effortlessly spark discussion and capture children's imagination. The guidance and suggestions for adults add a richness and confidence to these conversations. A remarkable resource that is a joy to engage with. -- Dr Pooky KnightsmithIt's very common for adults to forget how it really feels to be a child - it is why we sometimes invalidate children's very real worries, as well as their joys. The Monster Book of Feelings is very special because it talks to children directly, as well as to their makers and carers. It encourages children and adults to explore and share feelings with each other through wonderful stories, and playful and thoughtful activities. It looks at the here and now of children's mental health, and to what children will need in the future. -- Ryan Campinho Valadas, Integrative Therapist at Self SpaceHoorah for this brilliant and beautifully illustrated mental health resource for young children and adults. Through the monster adventures on Icicle Island and many fun activities, children are enabled to connect with their own emotions, make sense of them & learn how to become more peaceful & happy. A fantastic book for both educational settings and home. -- Suzanne Bennett, Senior Inclusion Officer and Deputy DSL

    Book SynopsisWhat are friends and why do we need them? How do we talk to our friends and how do we listen to what they have to say? What is peer pressure and how do we deal with it? Many children identify friendships as being a vital part of achieving emotional well-being, but some children experience difficulties both initiating and maintaining friendships. This fun and accessible programme contains detailed instructions and photocopiable handouts for teaching children about friendship. The book combines group activities, individual work, homework exercises and games, and will be especially useful for groups containing children with developmental and social difficulties, such as ADHD or autism. Developed in an inclusive classroom, this programme will arm children with useful strategies to deal with difficult situations such as negative peer pressure and conflict.What is Friendship? is ideally suited for use with children aged 7-11, but can be adapted for younger children or older children with developmental difficulties. It includes all the resources required to facilitate the programme and can be delivered by any professional involved in the education or care of children.Trade ReviewThe flexibility offered by this book is therefore one of its key strengths. I certainly feel that the exercises could be used "as is" or tailored to a specific situation or context as required. On a practical level, the book could be a very helpful time-saving device for busy professionals who want a tried and tested "off the shelf" resource. However, I also think that a book like this can stimulate the generation of new ideas - serving as an "inspirational tool". -- British Psychological Society, DebateTable of ContentsIntroduction. 1: What is a Friend?
