Teaching Skills for Dummies
Published by: John Wiley & Sons
Price £16.99
ISBN: 978-0470740842

In this brand new book, Sue uses the classic ‘Dummies’ format, to share a wealth of ideas, tips and advice. This practical and humorous book will help you improve your teaching skills and build better relationships in your classroom.

The accessible style of the 'Dummies' books means that this is the perfect text for those new to teaching. The wide ranging advice that Sue gives will be helpful for teachers and lecturers working with students of all ages.

This book also contains lots of useful suggestions for those working outside of the 'education system'. Whether you're teaching English as a second language, training adults, or working with business executives, there is plenty here to interest and inspire you.

Sue says: "It was very refreshing for me to write a book within an existing format. I enjoyed the discipline of sticking to the tried and tested 'Dummies' formula. I also loved the idea of the 'witty asides' and speaking directly to my readers - both traits that characterise the 'Dummies' books and explain their huge success. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it!"
