Riassunto

Going to university for the first time can be both daunting and confusing, and it requires a different approach to studying at school. Packed with practical hints, study tips, short cuts and examples, 'Study Skills for Language for Language Students' will help students breeze through their degree.



Designed for all language students, this practical guide starts with the four skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing - and shows how to get the most out of language classes, as well as how to prepare for the year abroad. It also includes ideas on using the Internet for language study, and contains a section on career options for language graduates. The book is full of useful advice on coping with conflicting time commitments, writing essays and dissertations, making presentations, and revising for exams - all without sacrificing a social life! Mixing sound advice with crosswords, games and reassurance, 'Study Skills for Language Students' lets students make the most of their time at university, whether they are studying a language from scratch or post-A-level.

Recensione

What they said about 'Study Skills for Geography Students': Of value throughout a degree programme. Every student should buy a copy.
Dr G. P. Hollier, University of Strathclyde, UK

I would recommend this book warmly to students, but even more so to staff seeking guidance on how to help their students improve their generic learning skills, particularly in some of the 'newer' study skills.
