This movie took me to New Zealand
While I agree this was one of the rare cases where the film was actually better than the book, had it not been for the book and subsequent movie my daughter and I would not have started what would be the beginning of a deep interest in Maori culture and a trip there where we stayed on Maori land. The stories I was told during my trip were very special and some mirror the trials of the indigenous ...

A Great Entry Point
"Literature" is a great little book for those wishing to start utilising literature in the classroom. The book is arranged into broad sections with a variety of texts and activities that can be done with a class. There would be very little preparation for the tasks themselves, other than photocopying. One would need to provide some supplementary work to go with the activities and texts, which ...

The first part of the book, in which the authors explain their own ideas about language teaching, is alone worth the price of the book. The activities, some of which are drawn from drama ...

Sounds Intriguing Teacher's book: Resource Material for Teachers (Cambridge English Language Learning)
Alan Maley, Alan Duff

Cambridge University Press, 1979

The cassette recording is composed of short sequences of sound, each of which suggests the unfolding of a story or incident. The sequences are open to many different interpretations, and there are no 'correct' solutions. This stimulus releases the students' creative imagination and gives ...

A Warriors Heart
I'm the author of AKA DOCTOR. Alan's writing leaves me wanting more, and he delivers in this sequel to Once Were Warriors. I learned something of a far away culture in every chapter. Alan gives you a rollercoaster of emotions in these books. A must read following Once Were Warriors.
