The ability to give a successful presentation in an academic
setting is critical to success both on and off campus. Making
Academic Presentations describes the five moves, or parts, of a
typical presentation and provides examples of language that can be
used to successfully accomplish these moves. Although language is
vital to giving a good presentation, the book also addresses other
factors that influence the success of a presentation, such as
overcoming nervousness, nonverbal communication, and pronunciation
and paralinguistics. The book includes a variety of tasks
that will help students practice developing and analyzing
presentations as well as practice projects for applying these
lessons. In addition, rubrics and evaluation forms are included for
instructors to adapt and use for evaluation purposes.
Academic writing is difficult, and Final Draft gives students all
the tools they need. Writing skills and in-depth analysis of models
set the stage for development. Corpus-based vocabulary,
collocations, and phrases, as well as detailed information on the
grammar of writing, prepare your learners for college writing
courses. Students learn to avoid plagiarism in every chapter of
every level. This dedicated, long-term focus on plagiarism
avoidance helps ensure that these students are able to use sources
and highlight their own thoughts.
The university office hour interaction is new to everyone who
attends a university. Not knowing what to do or when to go is not
unique to international students. Office Hours: What Every
University Student Needs to Know sets out to demystify the entire
process of office hours-the purpose and goals of these meetings,
how to plan for them, and even determining whether to visit the
professor or send an email. Information about "group" office hours,
which are becoming more common, is also included. This task-based
book also describes the five moves, or parts, of an office hour
interaction and provides many examples and tasks to help guide
students through this important communicative aspect of academic
life. It seeks to ensure that every office hour interaction ends on
a positive note. Reflection questions for new teaching assistants
are included throughout, making this ideal for TA workshops. Four
analysis tasks are included to accompany the four videos that
explore various student-professor interactions.
This text was written for students who want to live, study, and/or
work in an English-speaking setting or are already doing so. Its
goal is to help students survive interactional English in a variety
of social, academic, and professional settings-for example, how to
make small talk with recruiters at a job fair or when invited to
dinner at their advisor's house. The text provides language to use
for a variety of functions as they might related to life on a
university campus: offering greetings and goodbyes, making
introductions, giving opinions, agreeing and disagreeing, using the
phone, offering assistance, asking for advice, accepting and
declining invitations, giving and receiving compliments,
complaining, giving congratulations, expressing condolences, and
making small talk. Users are also taught to think beyond the words
and to interpret intonation and stress (how things sound). Each of
the 10 units includes discussion prompts, language lessons,
practice activities, get acquainted tasks (interacting with native
speakers), and analysis opportunities (what did they discover and
what can they apply?).
The 4 Point series is designed for English language learners whose
primary goal is to succeed in an academic setting. Academic English
learners need skills-based books that focus on reading, listening,
and speaking, as well as the two primary language bases of
vocabulary and grammar. The ultimate goal is to help your students
improve these skills and earn a 4.0 (GPA). The Introduction to
English for Academic Purposes (EAP) level is designed for students
in academic programs who need a more general introduction to
authentic academic content. The discrete skills volumes are
designed for programs and courses that want to more intensively
focus on key strategies and authentic academic content in one skill
area. Each 4 Point volume covers academic skills while providing
reinforcement and systematic recycling of key vocabulary issues and
further exposure to grammar issues. These volumes focus very
heavily on vocabulary because language learners know that they are
way behind their native-speaker counterparts when it comes to
vocabulary. Each book highlights key vocabulary items, including
individual words, compound words, phrasal verbs, short phrases,
idioms, metaphors, collocations, and longer set lexical phrases.
Listening for Academic Purposes is an introductory textbook
containing English for Academic Purposes content. Each unit
includes three authentic listening passages-listening for
information in a conversation, listening in groups or pairs, and
listening to a lecture--on the same topic within a field of
academic study: Architecture, Marketing, Earth Science, U.S.
History, Chemistry, and Fine Arts. The focus is on improving the
skills of understanding main ideas, comprehending details,
understanding classroom discourse, and recognizing signal words and
phrases. The goal is to provide students with a variety of
strategies/tools to master academic situations in which they need
to participate.
Speaking for Academic Purposes< is an Introduction to English
for Academic Purposes in speaking skills. The exercises practice an
array of important academic speaking strategies, including tips for
impromptu speaking and making presentations, and also reinforces
vocabulary. Each unit includes activities based on the types of
speaking situations that students will encounter in academic
settings-including pair work, group discussions, and debates.
Toward this end, six video scenes (available on the companion
website) model student behavior and incorporate key worth and
phrases typically used when working in groups.
