Grammar - most language learners hate it, and in fact most language teachers hate it too! Brain Friendly Grammar enlightens language educators as to why learning grammar has been so dry and unstimulating in the past.
This book is not a traditional grammar book and is probably very different to any other grammar book that you have read. It is really intended for language educators who already have knowledge of grammar or even for polyglots or language specialists who also have a very good grasp of the mechanical side of the language.
If you are new to teaching or coaching grammar, Rachel suggests using this particular book as the skeleton script for the grammar coaching conversation, but then use the traditional grammar books for the indepth knowledge pertaining to the theory.
By using the versatile Neurolanguage Coaching PACT PQC model, language educators will gain more confidence, and be more motivated to deliver grammar, transforming language into stimulated, curiosity arousing conversations that may impact learners in an extremely positive way.
Authentic, recorded PACT PQC models are also provided in mp3 format, as a pack with the printed book.

It provides an update of these major developments in ESP and a summary of where the discipline is now. It is practical and accessible while covering a wide range of both theoretical and methodological topics. It also charts how ESP has been influenced by new ideas in the areas of management training, human resource development, sociology and intercultural training.

English is Context is as enjoyable to read as it will be enjoyable to teach. It is amusing yet authoritative; provocative yet without causing offence; whimsical yet well-documented; personal yet eminently practical.
Part A offers theory: taking the reader on a journey across the history of language in context - from the author's very personal perspective - through a history of language through the ages, quoting the most wide-ranging and often surprising of references to the specifics of the language classroom.
Part B offers activities: initiating the learner in the secret of pragmatics through a first set of short, introductory, practical activities; a second set that investigates the importance of context in the language we live; and four further chapters that delve deeper into the question of how we speak, and the ways we say what we may - or may not! - mean.
Part C offers reflection: resuming the perspective of the author at the end of Part A, it concentrates on the language classroom and reflects on pragmatics in regard to the teacher, to the learner and, ultimately, to both together - in such a way that a much greater, shared, understanding and incipient control of pragmatic competence is successfully achieved.

What makes a good language teacher? This up-to-date, practical book addresses that question from a 'human' perspective, recognising that teachers are not just machines, but have feelings, needs and identities of their own. As the twenty-two topics of the chapters in this volume clearly indicate, language teachers are complex individuals, who are expected to have a range of personal qualities, to be able to satisfy the needs of their students and to have the knowledge and skills to provide instruction in a range of language areas. Not only that, but all of these requirements are constantly changing. The authors present new insights from the real teaching environment that will be an invaluable help to language teachers at all stages of professional development.

Combines both theory and empirical studies to characterise the features of good language teachers
