This is a complete course in study skills for students in further and higher education institutions. Skills taught include: improving reading efficiency; note-taking; preparing for seminars; research techniques; essay organisation and presentation; exam preparation.

To make the course as flexible as possible, suggestions are given in the Tutor's Book for 'full time' and 'minimum time' allocations within each unit. Full time allocations give about 90 classroom hours; the shorter programme can be completed in about 50 hours. The Tutor's Book also provides suggestions for further reading and answers to the exercises. Answers are also given in the Student's Book, so making it possible for most of the course to be used for individual study.

Grade 4 Up?Using a visual approach to illustrate sentence patterns, Hamilton unravels the complexities of the English language with explanations and examples that are clear, easy to understand, and interesting. By using icons to represent each of the eight parts of speech (nouns are blocks, adjectives are paintbrushes, action verbs are springs, etc.), the author models various sentence patterns and makes sense of English grammar. A handy list of irregular verbs and an excellent explanation of using modifiers are included in the "Usage" section. "Mechanics" covers capitalization, punctuation, and spelling rules, plus those pesky words that have similar spellings and/or sounds but different meanings. "Communicating Ideas" is one of the most interesting and useful sections; just the discussion and listing of the common morphemes make this book worth purchasing. Students will also find directions on how to write an outline, use proofreader's marks, write letters, compile a bibliography, and write footnotes. The appendix provides tips on homework, class participation, and test taking. This user-friendly volume is sure to become a favorite resource on the English language.?Linda Wadleigh, Oconee County Middle School, Watkinsville, GA Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
