Grammar Nonsense and What To Do about It
Do you hate teaching some aspects of grammar? Do you ever feel frustrated that your students just don't get it? Well, in Grammar Nonsense, Andrew Walkley and Hugh Dellar argue that you shouldn't really blame yourself. The fault lies largely with the way grammar rules and methods have been passed down through training and published material and become established as the way of doing things: a straightjacket that we need to escape from. Through an entertaining series of rants and meditations on all things grammatical, from the use of the word 'grammar' to the horror of teaching verb patterns, they aim to pull apart rules which we give without thinking and to question approaches to practice that are seen as a must. Along the way, you'll not only learn how published materials get written and about ideas such as 'the transformation fallacy' and 'grammar olives', but you'll also get plenty of practical suggestions as to what to do about all this nonsense.

Perspectives on Teaching English at the University Level in Colombia
A great deal has changed in four decades in terms of English language teaching (ELT) in Colombia, which puts this book, in many ways, at the interface of where ELT in Colombia was, where it is now, and where it could be headed in the immediate future. One of the current educational challenges facing Colombia is the fact that the 2013 report of the Program for International Student Assessment, known as PISA, showed that Colombia placed number 62 out of the 65 countries in which students took the PISA tests. Another challenge, as the authors explain that the university within which their language teaching organization operates is: "a private, non-profit institution that receives no governmental funding. Its resources derive from student tuition, research, and consulting projects, and all of its profits are reinvested into the infrastructure of the university and scholarships for students." This is an important point, as one of the goals of this English In Context series is to showcase some language teaching organizations that are nonprofit and that do not have the geographic, economic, and political advantages of being in the capital of the country.

This book serves a wide range of readers, from those at the beginning of their professional lives as language teachers working in IEPs to those as new program managers. Experienced managers, administrative staff, and teachers will also benefit from Dr. Orlando's breadth and depth of experience.

Teaching English for Academic Purposes
Why do students feel that mastering academic English is difficult? Is it really so different from other types of English?

This easy-to-follow guide shows how learning academic language can be achieved by developing a set of skills that can be honed with practice, effective instruction, and motivation.
