This book is for you if you've never taught Cambridge First Certificate before, you want to know the most efficient techniques for getting your students through the exam, even if you've taught it before or you want to be able to advertise your services as an expert in First Certificate. The best way to learn to teach Cambridge First Certificate, is to take students through an entire course. Most schools I've worked at don't offer much in the way of additional training. You're just expected to get on with it. When I taught First, Advanced and PET, I was bumbling along with the books just trying to stay one answer further ahead than the students. Even if you're experienced at teaching general English, you can end up feeling like you've just stepped off the TEFL course. Learning along the way means you won't always be able to see around every little corner. With this book, you'll have everything you need to teach the exam the way your students deserve.

Astronomy is taught in schools worldwide, but few schoolteachers have any background in astronomy or astronomy teaching, and available resources may be insufficient or non-existent. This volume highlights the many places for astronomy in the curriculum; relevant education research and 'best practice'; strategies for pre-service and in-service teacher education; the use of the Internet and other technologies; and the role that planetariums, observatories, science centres, and organisations of professional and amateur astronomers can play. The special needs of developing countries, and other under-resourced areas are also highlighted. The book concludes by addressing how the teaching and learning of astronomy can be improved worldwide. This valuable overview is based on papers and posters presented by experts at a Special Session of the International Astronomical Union.

This volume examines the historical development of the First Certificate in English (FCE) and the Certificate in Advanced English (CAE).

The Teacher's Book is accompanied by a DVD-ROM with tests in both PDF and editable Word format, along with a series of teacher training videos. There is also additional photocopiable material in the Teacher's Book, with a focus on material for the Speaking test.

Designed for students preparing for the Cambridge exams, each book in this series offers both students and teachers comprehensive support, including revision sections, mini dictionaries and appendices in the students' books, and model answers, photocopiable tests and marking schemes in the teacher's books. The books can be used either as free-standing supplementary material, or as a complete exam preparation series. They are designed to develop the essential language skills and sub-skills students need for each exam paper; they also offer specific training and guidance for each part of the exams, with an abundance of practice based on realistic test tasks.
