Digital Play is a pioneering book on the use of computer games in language teaching, in which the authors share their expertise in training teachers in innovative classroom practice with their excitement for teaching with technology. It offers: guidance on taking on the challenge of the digital revolution; insight into how learners engage with gaming outside the classroom; and advice and activities for effectively bringing the world of gaming inside the classroom. Digital Play contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development: Part A examines the role of computer games in society, in education in general and in language teaching in particular, dismissing stereotypes and suggesting ways of implementing games with language learners. Part B consists of a bank of step-by-step activities showing how to use digital play in the classroom. Activities cover different possible classroom scenarios — from no available technology, through one computer and a projector to multiple computers — and they all have the common aim of helping learners improve their knowledge and use of the foreign language, covering all four language skills. Part C shows the teacher how to integrate digital play activities into the wider environment of the syllabus and the school, and suggests ways of developing personally and professionally as teachers of the 21st century.

Going Mobile explains, and then demonstrates with practical activities, how to use mobile devices in English Language Teaching in a principled and pedagogically sound way. It is a pioneering book, directed towards teachers — and therefore towards learners — in the age of the digital revolution, and it breaks new ground by offering much-needed support in our 21st-century classrooms. Nicky Hockly and Gavin Dudeney are both prize-winning authors and leaders in the field of the pedagogy of digital technology, bringing their many years of experience and succeeding admirably in motivating teachers and teacher trainers in the following areas: How to take advantage of the hand-held devices now available; How to face the many challenges that stand in the way of success; How to incorporate the technology across our teaching institutions. Going Mobile contains three distinct parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development: Part A introduces us to teaching with mobile devices, and the apps we can take advantage of. It covers the important questions we often ask, the issues we frequently face and the challenges we invariably encounter. Part B is full of classroom activities spread over five chapters — from a first analytical, yet entertaining, look at the use of mobile devices, to the staged and sensible exploitation of text, image, audio and, finally, video. Part C takes us further, both in our classes — by way of longer activities and projects — and in our institutions — where we are encouraged to incorporate mobile teaching and mobile learning progressively and systematically.

Spotlight On Learning Styles

Spotlight on Learning Styles focuses on how we learn rather than what we learn. It sheds light on our individual learning preferences and what we can do to learn and to teach more successfully: teachers recognise the characteristics of their own teaching styles; and learners recognise the characteristics of their own learning styles. The book also provides opportunities for us all to step outside our 'comfort zones' and multiply our possibilities for success. Spotlight on Learning Styles contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development: part A explains the importance and influence of our preferred learning styles, revealing how, as teachers, we can create a more inclusive classroom — integrating and motivating all our students, each with their individual strengths and weaknesses; part B concentrates on activities we can employ to teach more comprehensively and enable all our students to become successful learners. We discover our own preferred learning styles and those of our students, and activate the Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic sensory channels, the Global-Analytic cognitive processes and the Mind Organisation model of perception. Part C introduces further approaches, points to further activities beyond the purely linguistic, and suggests further reading — thus widening the spotlight and providing a springboard for opening up new horizons of discovery and development, of learning and of teaching.

The Company Words Keep: Lexical Chunks in Language Teaching

The Company Words Keep is a practical and thought-provoking guide for language teachers, showing how the latest insights into language chunks can lead to learners acquiring natural and fluent English. Here is a new methodology based on the Lexical Approach, a practical theory of language, of learning — and of teaching. The authors have drawn on their considerable experiences to reflect both on the situation of many non-native teachers around the world who are not always sure which word partnerships are likely and unlikely as well addressing native speakers who still need point-of-need confidence in class and in the key terms involved in the teaching of lexical chunks. They provide: an approach to all aspects of teaching chunks: from beginners to advanced, from ESP to exam preparation; a glossary of essential terms: from acronyms to the Web, deixis to delexification, priming to pragmatics; and a new methodology: a practical theory of language, of learning — and of teaching. The Company Words Keep contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development: Part A: answers three key questions: What is a chunk? How fixed is a chunk? How long is a chunk? The authors draw from three factors: the use of corpus data; an increased interest by linguists in word partnerships; and the availability of computational tools that can sort the data. Part B: offers a battery of over a hundred activities that will get your students chunking. They introduce and practise chunks, exploiting both the coursebook and authentic texts, as well as making the most of the immense possibilities afforded by the use of data processing. Part C: gives further insights, helping you to review what you know, reflect on the reality of lexical chunking and take steps to find out more for yourselves — in the interest of your personal and professional life.
