A good introduction to the prospects for teachers using IT.  |
|
As a trainee teacher of ICT I was very interested to come across this book. It aims to show how IT can make a different to the quality of teaching and learning. It looks at how intrenched in society new technologies have become and how to play upon childrens familiarity with these technologies to improve the quality of classroom-based activities. I think that this book makes almost essential reading for all trainee and serving teachers as it does a lot to dispel myths about IT and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has any qualms or reservations about using IT in their teaching.

A heavy-going book for the beginner.  |
|
There are not many books to help the beginner with Albanian. I found this book to be verging on the incomprehensible after chapter 5. A vast quantity of grammatical material is given, which is of questionable value for anyone who needs a grasp of colloquial Albanian. The tapes are useful because they provide an indication of pronunciation of the written word. The format of the book, however, is simply not the best way to encourage anyone to persevere with what appears to be a formidably difficult language. By the time I was a quarter of the way through the book I became convinced that the principle rule of Albanian grammar is that there are no rules of Albanian grammar! It would be good to think that the approach will be radically modified in a subsequent edition.

A good, thorough introduction to Albanian  |
|
This is a good, systematic tutor in Albanian. I recommend the book/cassette pack over just the book; Albanian pronunciation really does require careful practice. The grammar is introduced carefully; the exercises are sensible, and there is a great deal of welcome humour.
