This volume features current, innovative, and effective ways of developing instructional materials for diverse English Language Teaching (ELT) contexts. It is divided into four sections, each featuring pedagogical materials designed for specific groups of learners. The sections focus on materials for general English, ESP and EAP, CLIL, and ELT…

Evaluation of a science worksheet intended for British postsecondary students ages 16-19 identified positive features and possible problems. The worksheet was considered suitable for a wide range of students for self-study or group work; its design and content were based on sound learning theories. (SK)

Presents experiments, demonstrations, activities and ideas relating to various fields of biology to be used in biology courses in secondary schools. Among those experiments presented are demonstrating the early stages of ferns and mosses and simple culture methods for fern prothalli. (HM)

Presents experiments, demonstration, activities and ideas relating to various fields of physics to be used in physics courses in secondary schools. The use of a programable pocket calculator in A-level physics courses is among the activities described. (HM)

This article aims to provide potential authors with some simple guidelines for the presentation of manuscripts for publication in the United Kingdom. An outline of how an educational publisher works and how authors fit into the overall picture are also included. (HM)

Presents the use of quantity calculus in calculations arising in volumetric analysis and in the more general field of chemical stoichiometrics. (HM)
