Inhaltsangabe

The English Handbook and Study Guide is a comprehensive English reference book, invaluable to teachers, students and as a home reference. It covers the basics and fills in the gaps. Practical and user-friendly – simple, visual and logical. Colour-coded for easy understanding, recall and application. This book will provide a ready-made, user-friendly scheme of work. It is not meant to be used in isolation, but rather in conjunction with regular lessons and other textbooks. The basic structure of the English Language is constant, only the application will differ between classes. FOR THE TEACHER This book will replace the notes you give at different levels every year. It will save you the time, effort and expense of compiling and photocopying notes. You will have the security of knowing that your students have a comprehensive set of notes, which can be added to or omitted according to the level being taught. These notes may be used in class for instruction or revision. The book may also be used independently by your students for self-study and homework tasks. Once taught, each section can simply be revised and updated each year, freeing you from having to re-teach it. The main benefit is that you will be able to teach English in context. You will have the freedom to use whatever is current, relevant and of interest to your students. They will have a constant source of reference and you will therefore be able to teach without having to stop for note-taking or lengthy explanations.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

BERYL LUTRIN is an English teacher with a special interest in Remedial Education. She gained
valuable teaching experience at Crossroads Remedial School in Johannesburg, and has put these
principles into general teaching practice. She believes that in order to be understood, work has to
be presented in a simple, visual and logical manner. She enjoys reducing content and concepts to
their simplest forms. The philosophy of her teaching is that once a student has grasped the basics,
he or she is able to grow and develop from there.
In 1999 Beryl wrote The Afrikaans Handbook and Study Guide™ which has become a best-seller
in South Africa. She wrote the book after finding that her ex-students were using her primary
school notes at high school and even up to matric level. This reinforced that ‘simple is better’.
She realised that content should not be based according to age or school grade, but rather
logically developed, irrespective of these.
Beryl’s love of teaching has influenced many of her students to become teachers. This is one of her
proudest achievements.

MARCELLE PINCUS is a household name in English and Drama circles in Johannesburg, throughout
South Africa and even in the neighbouring countries, where she is often invited to lecture to
teachers, or to adjudicate and examine students. She also presents English and Drama Workshops
throughout the country. In her book, ‘Brainstorm’, Marcelle shares her teaching ideas and
methodologies. For many years Marcelle was the National and Cultural Facilitator of the Crawford
Preparatory Schools.
Anyone who has been taught by Marcelle, remembers her with love and gratitude. It is not
difficult to understand why, when you know the rationale behind her teaching. Marcelle teaches
‘English through Drama and Drama through English’. She concentrates on combining academic
skills with life skills. Every lesson is based on a skill such as listening, lateral thinking or the
challenge of discovery. The life skills she weaves into her lessons foster self-confidence, a positive
attitude and co-operative group work.
Marcelle believes that a teacher should be energetic and enthusiastic in order to motivate and
stimulate students. The result is that her students love learning and extending their knowledge. They
develop a passion for English. For Marcelle, English is not a subject, but a way of life. Through
English she aims to touch every student’s life and to make him or her aware of being unique and
a winner. Her overall objective is for every student to reach his or her potential and to be a happy
and secure human being
