A photocopiable resource book for teachers of English for Academic
Purposes. Instant Academic Skills provides ready-to-teach, photocopiable
lessons for busy teachers who want to give their students extra practice
in general academic skills. The lessons cover all four skills
(listening, speaking, reading and writing) and can be taught
individually or as a learning 'unit'. Challenging activities develop
skills vital to academic success such as identifying key ideas and
details, predicting content and efficient note-taking, while lively
speaking tasks get learners ready to participate in debates and
presentations. The Audio CD includes a variety of native and non-native
accents in typical academic scenarios such as lectures, interviews and
formal talks.
