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.

Storytelling With Our Students invites you on a fascinating and personal journey in the company of David Heathfield — an experienced teacher and dedicated storyteller. He introduces you to the art of telling an unscripted story, and provides you with the opportunity to bring stories from many cultures to vibrant life in your language teaching. Storytelling builds confidence, develops language skills, encourages speaking and listening fluency, and increases motivation and interaction. Teachers discover the techniques for being successful tellers of tales. Learners discover that they, too, can be storytellers. The book includes stories from around the world — and focuses on the telling techniques that will make all the difference as you tell them. Storytelling With Our Students contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development: Part A presents the history of storytelling through ages and cultures, and how it can be integrated into teaching in general and language teaching in particular. Part B presents a wealth of stories, accompanying them all with techniques for their successful telling. The three chapters — The teacher as storyteller, The student as storyteller and Creative ways into and out of a story — indicate that there is much more to classroom storytelling than first meets the eye. Part C presents further possibilities for those of you who venture into the magical world of stories — showing how Storytelling With Our Students can be just the beginning of your own personal journey.

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.
