It's less suitable for classroom use; the exercises aren't really communicative, so they would be rather a waste of scarce classroom time. Use it for homework together with a good bilingual dictionary to increase learning efficiency and speed. The words are dished up in bite-sized pieces; each unit has two pages, explanations on the left-hand side, exercises on the right-hand side. It can also be used as an aid when preparing writing assignments or a thesis in English. The book is divided into sections: Working with academic vocabulary e.g. key nouns and verbs, quantifying expressions, metaphors and idioms Word combinations e.g. adjective-noun combinations, prepositional phrases, fixed expressions At academic institutions e.g. applications, UK and US educational systems, study habits and skills Ways of talking about ... e.g. sources, evidence, numbers, statistics, graphs, cause and effect Opinions and ideas e.g. reporting, analysis, research aims, points of view, degrees of certainty Functions e.g. presenting an argument, classifying, comparing, contrasting, procedures, summary and conclusion Six chapters at the end contain exercises based on real articles from the "New Scientist" magazine and similar, but they're a bit dated now. Today's students (or their teachers) would probably prefer more recent articles on topics they've chosen themselves. All-in-all it's useful supplemental study material, but not suitable as a core course book. Eine Rezension von Ein Kunde vom 28. März 2012 | ||||||||||||||||||||
