Two Besides - Alan Bennett

Two brand-new monologues in the Talking Heads series, as seen on BBC1 and iPlayer ‘Given the opportunity to revisit the characters from Talking Heads I’ve added a couple more, both of them ordinary women whom life takes by surprise. They just about end up on top and go on, but without quite knowing how. Still, they’re in good company, and at least they’ve made it into print.’ Alan Bennett’s twelve Talking Heads are acknowledged masterworks by one of our most highly acclaimed writers. Some thirty years after the original six, Bennett has written Two Besides, a pair of monologues. Each, in its way, is a devastating portrait of grief. In An Ordinary Woman, a mother suffers the inevitable consequences when she makes life intolerable for herself and her family by falling for her own flesh and blood; while The Shrine tells the story behind a makeshift roadside shrine, introducing us to Lorna, bearing witness in her high-vis jacket, the bereft partner of a dedicated biker with a surprising private life. The two new Talking Heads were recorded for the BBC during the exceptional circumstances of coronavirus lockdown in the spring of 2020, directed by Nicholas Hytner and performed by Sarah ...

The New Psychology of Language - David Peeters, Ton Dijkstra

This illuminating book offers an up-to-date introduction to the psychology of language, exploring aspects of language processing that have previously not been given centre stage such as the role of body and brain, social aspects of language use, and mental models.The New Psychology of Language presents an overarching theoretical account called the Language User Framework for discussing a wide variety of core language activities. How do we understand speech in conversations? How do we read books? How do we convert our thoughts into bodily signals (speech, gestures, facial expressions) when we speak? What happens in the mind and brain when we have mastered two or more languages? All these aspects of language use are discussed at the level of words and sentences, as well as text and discourse. Language is considered as an embodied, embedded, incremental cognitive activity aiming at the construction and communication of rich and dynamic mental models. Discussion boxes highlight controversies in the field; case studies and practical exercises provide insight into everyday examples; illustrations represent important models of language processing; and key findings come along with clear and concise chapter summaries. Special attention is paid to research techniques for investigating the psychology of language.This accessible book ... Unknown localization key: "more"

How to Teach Psychology: An evidence-informed approach - Mike Hobbiss, Paul Cline

Psychology as a subject is more popular in secondary schools than ever before, but achieving deep insights into, and appreciation of, the complexity of human behaviour is a challenge that requires expert guidance and teaching. In addition to teaching the often demanding subject content on their specifications, Psychology teachers must also be experts in inculcating mathematical skills and written communication. All this in students who often start without any prior experience of the subject. This poses serious challenges for teachers'' subject knowledge, pedagogy and planning. And yet, until now, little has been written about how to teach Psychology effectively. This book aims to help anyone facing that challenge. Drawing on a wealth of psychological and pedagogical insights, coupled with years of teaching experience, Paul Cline and Mike Hobbiss provide practical advice and concrete suggestions to support Psychology teachers at all levels. From curriculum choices to the minutiae of in-class decisions, from developing as an individual teacher to leading a Psychology department, this book provides the complete, evidence-informed guide to teaching Psychology.
