Publisher's Synopsis
This work shows how to broaden the content of the teaching programme beyond the purely transitional, in ways which should be motivating and relevant to the pupil's own world. It suggests ways that teachers can begin to develop cross-curricular approaches and offer new activities, topics and resources for bringing the real world into the classroom. Case studies demonstrate the advantages of working and planning collaboratively with colleagues in other curriculum areas.;Through collaboration, language teachers can build on the skills and knowledge of pupils gained from other subjects, as well as reinforce communication skills. The authors demonstrate how cross-curricular activities may enhance language learning, learner motivation, and pupils' chance of success in all their subject areas.
