The Teacher´s Magazine Nº 136 (June 2011)
In this issue we are going to get down to work in the kitchen, which will be buzzing with activity. The students will learn everything, from ways of cooking, action verbs to herbs and species for cooking and kitchen utensils. There are plenty of activities for you to pick out the right ones for your courses. They will allow you to work in several ways, with different purposes. You will also find tips for using poetry and song lyrics in the classroom; a very interesting article on post-colonial literatures will introduce us to the role of literature in the English classroom and will be a starting point for teachers eager to know more about the richness and significance of this subject.
This book will place current practice and innovative ideas in the light of the behaviourist view of learning and show how the principles derived through the work of Ebbinghaus, Pavlov, Watson, Thorndike, Skinner and others remains an important infl uence in current teaching.
The Living Classroom: Teaching and Collective Consciousness
This pioneering work in teaching and transpersonal psychology explores the dynamics of collective consciousness in the classroom. Combining scientific research with personal accounts collected over thirty years, Christopher M. Bache examines the subtle influences that radiate invisibly around teachers as they work--unintended, cognitive resonances that spring up between teachers and students in the classroom. While these kinds of synchronistic connections are often overlooked by traditional academics, Bache demonstrates that they occur too frequently and are too pointed to be dismissed as mere coincidence.
