ACADEMIC ENCOUNTERS: READING, STUDY SKILLS AND WRITING - HUMAN BEHAVIOUR (Teachers Manual)

Academic Encounters: Human Behavior uses authentic reading from college textbooks to teach academic reading and study skills and introduces students to psychology. (American English)

Academic Encounters: Human Behavior helps students develop the reading, writing, and study skills needed to meet the demands of college courses in an English-speaking environment. The readings, taken from university-level textbooks, treat high-interest topics such as stress and physical health, nonverbal communication, and love. These topics engage students in the subject matter while exposing them to academic discourse. This book contains exercises that develop reading skills such as skimming, reading for the main idea, reading for speed, and understanding vocabulary in context. While completing writing assignments of different lengths, students respond to the readings and incorporate what they have learned. Study skills, such as summarizing, note taking, highlighting key points, and test preparation are also taught. (American English)
