The Preposition Book: Practice toward Mastering English Prepositions Review

The Preposition Book: Practice toward Mastering English Prepositions
Average Reviews:

I have been to many ESL classes.
However, I still have difficulties writing correct English sentences. All these classes overlooked my two major grammar problems.
Whenever I write, I have to think a lot before selecting an appropriate preposition or article.
Fortunately, I came across the books of this excellent author Tom Cole:
The Preposition Book
The Article Book
I like his way of teaching. First, he introduces a rule, then you have exercises with the answers. After several rules, you have a comprehensive test covering them all. Each book has a lot of material, but you do not have to cram the rules. You memorize them by doing all these exercises. So, the books are great for self-study.

Making Content Comprehensible for English Language Learners: The SIOP Model, Second Edition Review

Making Content Comprehensible for English Language Learners: The SIOP Model, Second Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In a field that is sometimes long on theory but woefully short on substance, the authors have done an impressive job of combining a useable observation tool (the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol, or SIOP) with some practical, real-life vignettes that illustrate each of the elements presented. The SIOP goes through every step of the sheltering process, from lesson preparation through delivery and evaluation, and does it in a user-friendly fashion.
Teachers of English language learners will find descriptions of effective--and ineffective--planning and instructional strategies. Principals and other educational supervisors will find a much-needed tool for observing and coaching teachers in how to shelter content for students who are still acquiring English. A must-read for anyone training for the principalship, and a should-read, could-use for any teacher of English language learning students.

Like no other text on the market, Making Content Comprehensible presents an empirically validated model of sheltered instruction. This text provides the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model, which provides school administrators, staff developers, teachers, teacher candidates, university faculty, and field experience supervisors with a tool for observing and quantifying a teacher's implementation of quality sheltered instruction. Making Content Comprehensible presents a coherent, specific, field-tested model of sheltered instruction that specifies the features of a high-quality sheltered lesson that teaches content material to English learners. Each of the 30 items from the SIOP model are illustrated through vignettes. Three different lessons for each item are rated and discussed, allowing the book to be applied to a variety of content areas and grade levels.
