Wat is een goede les? En wat doet een effectieve leraar?

In De zes rollen van de leraar beschrijft Martie Slooter wat leraren kunnen doen om leerlingen daadwerkelijk te laten leren. Ze beschrijft effectief lerarengedrag aan de hand van zes rollen:

* de gastheer;

* de presentator;

* de didacticus;

* de pedagoog;

* de afsluiter;

* de coach.

Dit boek is gebaseerd op de meest actuele, wetenschappelijke inzichten over hoe leerlingen tot leren komen. Slooter gaat niet alleen in op de basiskennis, -...

Nidali, the rebellious daughter of an Egyptian-Greek mother and a Palestinian father, narrates her story from her childhood in Kuwait, her early teenage years in Egypt, to her family's last flight to Texas.

Cal has very few choices in life. He can continue working at the abattoir that sickens him, or join the ranks of the unemployed. He can brood on his past or try to plan a future with Marcella.

Cal is a haunting love story set against the fear and violence of Ulster, where tenderness and innocence must struggle to survive.

Half boy. Half God. All Hero. Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. Now I spend my time battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive.

The Student's Book takes students from the traditional practice of grammar forms through to topic-based practice exercises. Grammar is clearing presented and explained at each level with review sections assessing student understanding and providing extra practice.

Dit boek helpt studenten in zorg en welzijn om communicatieve basisvaardigheden zó aan te leren dat die een solide basis vormen voor de ontwikkeling van specifieke beroepsvaardigheden. Ook leren ze om die communicatieve vaardigheden in verschillende hulpverleningssituaties toe te passen. Daarbij heeft het boek aandacht voor aan te leren technieken, én voor de echtheid van iemands optreden. Effectief communiceren vereist immers ook kennis over je eigen kwaliteiten.

No single country has had a larger impact on the past century than America; and most experts agree that the role of English as a world language is due in part to the world's largest economy and third largest country, the United States. But the America of today is also a coutnry of contradictions. It is a country born out of peace and progress, but also out of violence and revolt. Aspects of the USA offers students of English and EFL teachers a broad introduction to the United States, includin...

Okonowo is the greatest warrior alive. His fame has spread like a bushfire in West Africa and he is one of the most powerful men of his clan.But he also has a fiery temper. Determined not to be like his father, he refuses to show weakness to anyone - even if the only way he can master his feelings is with his fists.

"One of the most provocative, intelligent and original novelists working in Britain today." Irvine Welsh. My dad taught us to be prepared for whatever was coming. He said we should know the facts about how long we could survive without food, water or fresh air, and to remember that we couldn't live at all without hope.

It was better, he said, to be ahead of the game. Better to be ten years too early than one minute too late. That's why he did what he did, on that morning ...

Werkvormen zijn de bouwstenen van een goede vakdidactiek. Zeker sinds de invoering van het Europees Referentiekader (ERK) is kennis over de taal minder relevant. Het doel is dat de leerling de taal kan gebruiken: hij moet deze zelfstandig kunnen lezen, luisteren, schrijven en spreken. De ervaring leert dat leerlingen die al doende leren, informatie langer en beter onthouden.

Waar vind je als (aankomende) leraar Duits, Engels of Frans de tijd om rustig nieuwe activerende werkvormen te bedenken...
