Australian-born Dr Rosemary Westwell has been a teacher since 1969. Now British citizen she is determined to add her voice to the call for more common sense in our approach to teaching and learning. In this book the author casts aside formulated textbooks in favour of an approach that focuses on the learning process and how teaching and materials are best adapted accordingly. If teachers understand the mechanism of how students acquire certain knowledge and skills, and they alter their methods of teaching accordingly, the learning is swift and effective.
