How can tutors effectively meet their adult learners' individual expectations when classes almost invariably include a wide range of ability and experience, of motivation and needs, of learning styles and interests?

Excellent resource for all ESL/EFL Teachers
Making the transition from teaching conversational English abroad to teaching Academic English in the states was a bit tough. Many people don't realize that English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is a completely different field.

This books serves as both a great introduction to the field and a good reference book for your school's teaching library.

It has several activities planned out already to help you get your feet wet. However, if you're looking for a book based solely on lesson plan ideas, this may not be the one for you.

English for Academic Purposes is designed to introduce the components of an EAP course, for example:

Lectures and Note-taking skills, group work customs/dynamics, presentation skills, reference/research skills, as well as examination skills. There is also a discussion devoted to the differences of informal and formal English.

This book is also a valuable resource for teacher development. There are sections on course/syllabus design, as well as a wealth of recommended books and journals for further study. If I were going to give a workshop on teaching EAP, this is the book I would use. ... Read more

A much needed reappraisal
Edith Wharton until recently has not received the interest and praise she deserved as one of the finest American authors -- was it because she was wealthy and female? Because people thought she was simply a protege of Henry James? Or because her books rarely had happy endings? Fortunately, a new generation is reappraising her work and finding much of value in it, from her critique of early 20th century American society and subtle assessment of man-woman relationships to her wonderfully textured and evocative style. RWB Lewis, who must be the foremost Wharton scholar today, brings Wharton to life in this book -- her tremendous intelligence, the terrific emotional hardships she endured, her great capacity for friendships and amazing zest for life.Wharton got started late as an author, not publishing her first book until nearly 40 -- because she had to overcome a tremendous hurdle -- being born into a society where women writers simply did not exist. Everything she accomplished thus was purely out of her own drive to communicate and create.If you haven't read much Wharton, I recommend also The Age of Innocence, The Custom of the Country, The House of Mirth, and any short stories you can lay your hands on.

Very interesting
I had to read this for a college class about 10 years ago and was reluctant at first. It turned out to be a very interesting, informative book. It's quite large, but enjoyable - the pictures were especially fascinating, especially of Edith's various homes throughout her lifetime. ... Read more
