How to Learn a Language
How to Learn a Language
How to Learn a Language is not language specific so it can be used by learners embarking on a course in any foreign language. The material introduces them to many of the key skills they’ll need to learn a language effectively and efficiently and provides them with ideas and study techniques. It includes basic information about how languages operate, gives practical study tips and hints, and develops learners’ awareness of how they learn best. The material can be used with learners whether they know a little of the language already, or whether they are learning a new language from scratch. If you buy a multi-user licence you can share the book with colleagues in your school, college or organisation to use with the students they teach within that institution.
Since How to Learn a Language was first published it has helped many learners to develop their language learning skills. This popular text provides a valuable resource that can help to save time for tutors and trainers looking to develop their students’ study skills and techniques. Use the entire contents of the workbook or only the topics you need, for face-to-face teaching with your students, or as revision support or a home study aid.
A single-user download allows you to use the material in your own teaching only. Read our full Licensing Terms & Conditions here.
