*make the most of your taught sessions and self study time by examining effective note taking, group activities, research and resource evaluation;
*succeed in your practical sessions;

An excellent book, full of information that will be so useful to students undertaking PTLLS. It has a very readable and engaging layout. I like the added part about Harvard referencing which will be a good point of reference for the students.
I have recommended this book to staff who are teaching on PTLLS courses as I think it is an excellent resource for them when planning assessment.

This is a well written book for my PTLLS learners it covers all the mandatory units and it is more than excellent read. The level of english is adequate for those undertaking the course and it has been a very indispensable resource. Would definitely recommend it as an essential read.
