This abridged version of "Political Action", which was published in 1979, has been rewritten for a wider, non-specialist audience. It presents the principal findings of the original work, uncovering the social and psychological basis of political action in Western democracies. It examines both conventional and unconventional forms of political activity, and claims that political ideology and knowledge are shaped by social locations, age, sex and education. In the process it covers areas such as value priorities, the political agenda, protest activities and apathy and inaction.
Creativity is an exciting concept in learning and teaching today,
not least in the field of ELT, with numerous books, publications,
conferences and websites dedicated to exploring ideas around the
theme. The Creative Teacher's Compendium offers teachers an
extensive repertoire of creative ideas and techniques to work with
in the classroom, each one clearly linked to a language point with
easy-to-follow teaching notes, and also to a section which provides
further reflection and teacher development. The A-Z format provides
a memorable and easily-referenced manual for teachers, with a large
variety of low-preparation, practical teaching ideas. Through its
clear links to specific language points and also to teacher
reflection, The Creative Teacher's Compendium is significantly
different in both its approach and content from other resource
books on creative language teaching. Antonia and Alan do a lot of
teacher training in various countries around the world, and
regularly speak at conferences. The teachers we meet are forever
asking us where they can get hold of all these lovely ideas, so
they decided to put them in a book. The book provides an
alphabetical list of chapters with topics related to creative
language teaching, covering themes such as Art, Beginnings,
Conversations, Dictation, Emotions, Film etc. Each chapter begins
with a relevant quote related to the topic, followed by a short
discussion of why this area is important for creative language
teaching. This introduction provides a clear rationale and directs
teachers to relevant research in the area. Then follow a series of
creative activities which can be used as they are or easily adapted
to suit teachers' and learners' needs. The creative activities are
always clearly linked to suggested language points, and sample
materials show how these can be explicitly exploited. The chapters
end with ideas for reflective teacher development and tasks which
can be used for workshops.
