Vår värld är nedlusad med byggnader och monument, som trots förfall skvallrar om svunnen storhet. Denna vackra atlas visar femtio fantasieggande miljöer som tiden sprungit ifrån. Med specialritade kartor och suggestiva fotografier tar Atlas över bortglömda platser läsaren bortom allfartsvägarna. Från rostande rymdfärjor, via ett gigantiskt kommunistiskt bergsmonument, till Saddam Husseins söndervittrande palats. Upptäck dessa och många fler av världens övergivna platser i en kartbok som inte liknar någon annan. OLIVER SMITH är en prisbelönt reseskribent som rest till världens alla hörn. Smith har bland annat medverkat i Lonely Planet, National Geographic, BBC och Sunday Times. Här är han vår guide till exempelvis spionstationen Teufelsberg i Berlin, övergivna Bannerman Castle utanför New York, Röda zonen i Fukushima och fartygsvraken vid Skelettkusten utanför Namibia. "Språket är mycket bra och texterna fängslande, författaren fångar mystiken på platserna som mer eller mindre har stannat i tiden. Fotografierna är stämningsfulla och bokens layout enhetlig och snygg. Det här är en spännande och lättläst bok både för urban explorers (så kallade urbexare, stadsutforskare) som söker nya äventyr, den mer försiktiga turisten som gärna utforskar spännande platser med en guide och den historieintresserade. Översättningen av Emeli André är mycket bra." Btj

Att utveckla kommunikativ förmåga på ett nytt språk tar lång tid och ställer höga krav på eleven. Språklärare vill därför undervisa på sätt som är både engagerande och språkutvecklande. Ett alternativ för detta ändamål är uppgiftsbaserad språkundervisning. Den här boken ger språklärare en introduktion till uppgiftsbaserad språkundervisning (eng. task-based language teaching) för elever på nybörjarnivå, A1-A2. Författarna förklarar vad en uppgift i språkundervisning är och hur den skiljer sig från andra aktiviteter i språkklassrummet. De redogör även för de grunder som finns från forskning om andraspråksinlärning och i skolans styrdokument för att undervisa uppgiftsbaserat. En central del av boken presenterar fler än 40 exempel på uppgifter med utförliga beskrivningar av hur lärare kan arbeta med dem. Här finns en mängd receptiva uppgifter, som bygger på att eleven lyssnar eller läser på målspråket och visar sin förståelse av det genom att lösa givna uppgifter. Uppgifter i språkundervisningen vänder sig till lärarstudenter och verksamma lärare i engelska, moderna språk och svenska som andraspråk.

A lyrical and insightful narrative that presents a new approach to the idea of pilgrimage, traversing paths both ancient and modern. Retracing sacred travel made across time, from murmurs of ritual journeys in the depths of Ice Age to new pilgrimages of the 21st century, On This Holy Island is an an epic adventure across sacred British landscapes. We follow Oliver Smith as he climbs into remote sea caves, sleeps inside Neolithic tombs, scales forgotten holy mountains and once even maroons himself at sea. Following holy roads to churches, cathedrals and standing stones, this evocative and enlightening travelogue explores places prehistoric, pagan and Christian, Smith also reveals how football stadiums and music festivals have become contemporary places of pilgrimage. Though the routes walked are often ancient, the pilgrims he meets are always modern. But underpinning the remarkable book is a timeless truth: that making journeys has always been a way of making meaning. So often, Smith finds, "the unravelling of a path goes in tandem with the unravelling of the soul."

*** A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR ***“Excellent…immensely well-researched and playful. Smith has written something special.” -- Patrick Galbraith, The Times"Imaginative and engaging" -- Country LifeAcclaimed travel writer Oliver Smith sets out to radically reframe our idea of ‘pilgrimage’ in Britain by retracing sacred travel made across time, from murmurs of ritual journeys in the depths of Ice Age to new pilgrimages of the 21st century.

Enjoy English My Third Book är den tredje boken i den nya serien Enjoy English. Ljudfiler, filmer och gemensamma övningar kopplat till elevboken finns i Teacher Guide 3 Digital (lärarlicens). Enjoy English är ett läromedel i engelska för åk 1-3 med fokus på meningsfull användning av språket. Kommunikation är en självklar utgångspunkt, en nyckel till framgång för dina elever. Enjoy English är framtaget för att skapa en positiv känsla av att lära och undervisa i engelska. Enjoy English har en tydlig struktur med ett kumulativt upplägg som gör att eleverna snabbt känner igen sig och lättare förstår vad som förväntas av dem. Eleverna utvecklar förmågorna lyssna, tala, förstå och skriva engelska. Alla elever får den utmaning eller det stöd de behöver för att hålla intresset uppe. Det mynnar ut i ett inkluderande arbetsklimat i klassrummet. Enjoy English introducerar de mest frekvent använda orden i engelskan. Kännedom om de 1000 vanligaste orden i ett språk är en oerhört viktig tröskel för att förstå och känna sig trygg i att använda språket. För att lära sig dessa ord behöver eleverna konstant och varierad exponering för dem i meningsfulla sammanhang. Elever i årskurs 1 är sällan nybörjare i engelska; de behöver utmanas på sin nivå. Uppgifterna i böckerna har fokus på hörförståelse och kommunikation vilket möjliggör för alla elever att delta oavsett språklig nivå. I Teacher Guide finns dessutom tips till dig som lärare på hur du kan arbeta med uppgifterna i de fall dina elever behöver mer stöd, ”Support”, eller i de fall dina elever behöver ytterligare utmaning, ”Challenge”. Innehållet har, precis så som styrdokumenten uppmanar till, en tydlig koppling till de olika stegen, nivåerna pre-A1 och A1, i den europeiska språkportfolion. I My First Book arbetar ni med elevnära ämnen för att stegvis och successivt bli alltmer komplexa i My Second Book och My Third Book för att utvidga elevernas referensram.
