It is also ideal for English translators and native English speakers who wish to give English classes.  his resource book examines straightforward teaching procedures, underlying pedagogy and fundamental principles of teaching English, and includes a considerable variety of classroom and research approaches for language instruction.  It suggests practical pedagogic options while exploring various teaching methodologies, comprehensive strategies and effective methods for teaching and developing one's own distinctive teaching style.  It analyzes the crucially important qualities of an effective English teacher.  
  The most critical reason for this book is to look into what we teach, whom we teach, where we teach and, above all, how we can most successfully teach.

  The Attack on Taranto -...

  On November 11, 1940, 21 slow, canvas-covered British warplanes, launched from the carrier Illustrious, attacked the harbor at the Italian port of Taranto and put most of the Italian navy out of commission. This all-but-forgotten operation, the authors argue, deserves historical recognition as an inspirational precedent for the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor 13 months later. Taranto demonstrated that battleships in a shallow, heavily defended harbor could be sunk by a handful of torpedo-bombers. That lesson Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese fleet, learned well-while the American military virtually ignored it.   “By this single stroke the balance of naval power in the Mediterranean was decisively altered.” –Winston S. Churchill

  The Shocking Truth about Legal...

  Legal rights are the foundation of the modern world, influencing every aspect of our lives. From the moment we are born, we are subject to a complex web of rights that protect our freedoms, safeguard our interests, and ensure our ability to live our lives in a fair and just society. But what exactly are legal rights, and how have they evolved over time? The shocking truth is that many people don’t fully understand the legal rights they are entitled to, nor do they realize how these rights impact them on a daily basis. In this book, we aim to uncover the truths behind legal rights, shedding light on their importance and how they shape the world we live in. 
    
  Legal rights are not a recent concept; they have been developed over centuries, evolving with society's changing needs and values. In early civilizations, rights were often limited and dictated by rulers, leaving little room for individual freedoms. It wasn’t until the rise of democratic societies that the idea of legal rights for all people began to take shape. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, is one of the earliest examples of a legal document that set the foundation for individual freedoms and legal protections. However, it wasn’t until much later that such rights would become enshrined in the constitutions and laws of nations across the world. 
    
  The significance of legal rights today cannot be overstated. From voting rights to free speech, from the right to a fair trial to protection from discrimination, legal rights play a crucial role in ensuring equality and justice. Without these rights, individuals would have no means of holding authorities accountable or protecting themselves from abuse. In the digital age, the scope of legal rights continues to expand, with new laws aimed at safeguarding personal privacy, intellectual property, and access to technology.
