After all, how can we be effectively checking progress and understanding when it is we who are doing all the talking? How can we be certain that the sea of 'attentive' faces before us is not simply contemplating lunch? The solution is here: a vast bank of exciting, engaging, practical ways to allow learners to access and understand complex topics and skills without relentlessly bending their ears. Strategies which not only prevent pupils from being passengers in lessons, but which also make progress visible to both teacher and learner. In an entertaining and practical way, Talk-Less Teaching shows you how to encourage learners' responsibility for their own progress without compromising test results or overall achievement. Discover hundreds of tried and tested practical tips for helping pupils understand difficult concepts and learn new skills without you developing lecture-laryngitis. Talk-Less Teaching was shortlisted for the ERA Education Book Award 2016.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book will show you how to do expert speech and language stimulation and therapy at home throughout your loved one's daily activities. You will first learn to stimulate your loved one's speech and language through the use of questions that garner yes and no answers. From there, you will begin asking questions that require easy one-two word responses from your loved one. Once mastered, you will move to three-word answers and build thereon until your loved one or client can answer in phrases, and short sentences which will jump-start longer sentences, more independent speaking and, ultimately, conversation"--P.

This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a reference work where teachers can quickly find ideas to deal with the challenges they face daily in their classrooms. It is a "recipe book" with tried and true solutions, for example, for getting a class's attention at the beginning of or during the lesson, getting chatting pupils and groups back on task, integrating outsiders into the group, dealing with disturbances and emotional outbursts and establishing discussion guidelines and classroom procedures. It consists of lists. Lists of simple ideas on, for example, how to deal with pupils who can't sit still, kids who always want to be first and students who get so carried away that they call out the answers rather than raising their hands. It is a gold mine of ideas and it represents many years of classroom experience -ours and that of the participants in our seminars. There's lots of information in it for teachers in elementary, secondary and -with a bit of flexibility and a creative mind- in adult and tertiary education as well. This collection of tips, rituals, nonverbal signals, examples of short verbal input, symbols, pictures and sophisticated teaching techniques will help you to manage the classroom successfully while creating a positive and harmonious atmosphere in which learning can thrive and grow. You will save your voice and spare your nerves and you will create an atmosphere where you can do what you became a teacher to do - to teach! This book is a practical supplement to the first book of the "Talk less. Teach more!" series: "Nonverbal Classroom Management. Group strategies that work."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We talk and talk and talk ... and very often we are frustrated by the feeling that our students simply aren't listening or aren't taking our verbal instructions seriously. It has been proven that over 82% of a teacher's communication with his or her students in the classroom is NONVERBAL. Why should we waste our breath on the classroom process rather than use it for our content? Especially when nonverbal management techniques are so much more effective? This book presents, in addition to a bit of theory, a huge number of practical tips and tools that can be implemented immediately in the classroom and that allow teachers to do what they actually became teachers to do - to teach!
