Dear teacher, Every year, more and more international students attend Dutch and Flemish universities and universi- ties of applied sciences, who need English textbooks. However, not all textbooks that are available at the moment fit into the bachelor’s or master’s degree programmes. It has therefore been our goal to provide students with books suitable for Dutch and Flemish study programmes. Since classrooms have become a mixture of nationalities, there are new challenges with regard to meeting academic demands. In order to meet these demands, students not only have to acquire general research and writing skills, but they also have to develop their language skills. In many study programmes, these topics are even part of the curriculum. In this catalogue* we present to you a selection of our English textbooks that help students to study effectively - keeping the abovementioned issues in mind. We are more than happy to work together with you on new teaching materials.

If you have any questions regarding our publications or if you have any new ideas, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Nynke Coutinho, CEO – Publisher

Academic Writing in English A Process-Based Approach

Janene van Loon, Arnoud Thüss, Nicole Schmidt & Kevin Haines

For second-language writers, academic writing in English can be very challen ging. Non-native English students can apply structural, linguistic and stylistic skills and strategies, to help them pro- duce English academic texts. This book aims to increase learners’ awareness and understanding of these skills and strate- gies, resulting in a more mature text and a more mature writer. Academic Writing in English takes a process-based approach. Students are guided through the academic writing process, using their own material as the focus of this writing practice. During this process, learners are encouraged to practice new techniques at various levels of difficulty and to reflect not only on their own written work but also on the work of their peers. Students are exposed to high-quality models of academic writing, from explanatory and argumentative essays to research reports and investigative business reports. The texts are accompanied by a large number of exercises which enable them to develop their proficiency in written English from B2 to C1 level.

Presentation Techniques

Manon van der Laaken & Bob van der Laaken

rsum •

A research project is not finished until the results have been published. No matter how spectacular the findings, they only become relevant when they have been shared with others, for instance in a presentation. Students are expected to present the results of their projects and their theses too. And with the internationalisation of study pro- grammes, more and more presentations are given in English. This book focuses on presentations given in the academic world. How do you prepare a presentation? How does it differ from a written paper? And what should you watch out for when you are presenting in an international context? These questions form the start- ing point for Presentation Techniques .

Writing a proper scientific text is not an easy job. Academic reality is complex, and text requirements differ per disci- pline and per writing task. Then there is your research, the basis for your text, which also demands attention. Effective Strategies for Academic Writing shines a spotlight on the mecha nisms of academic thinking, academic writing, and academic texts. It helps academic writers successfully complete their writing tasks. The author discusses strategies for small writing assignments like papers and essays and for more complex texts such as journal articles and BA/MA/PhD theses. That means the book can be useful throughout an academic career. The organization of the book mirrors the phases of an academic writing process: task orientation, making a plan, and wri ting. Efficient reading and effective use of feedback are also covered. The author describes all the steps that need to be taken to produce a good final product. The accompanying website provides additional theory, extra examples, and lots of helpful forms to work out the various steps. It also contains references to useful websites and books.

Foster, Lemmen, Smakman, Dorst, Dol English Grammar through Dutch Eyes

To be able to understand and speak a language well, you need to know the rules of that language. Ideally, learn- ing these rules should be as enjoyable and easy as possible. This is where our book and its accompanying website come into the picture: English Gram mar through Dutch Eyes is a contras- tive English grammar. Its focus on the differences with Dutch makes it easier for Dutch-speaking students to learn the rules of English. It also gives teachers and future teachers an idea of which areas of English grammar are more difficult to teach. The many examples and flowcharts make the rules easier to grasp. The light-hearted tone and the authors’ enthusiasm about the importance of grammar in everyday communication make for a more accessible and stu- dent-friendly read. On the website, the authors explain a variety of grammatical topics in short web clips. The online factsheets offer quick reference for those who want to know more about topics not dealt with in the book. Finally, each chapter comes with exercises that learn- ers can do to check their understanding of the reading. For instructors there are PowerPoints, test questions and a concise teacher’s manual.

Doing in-company research projects a step by step approach Arjan de Bont Doing in-company research projects

Many business schools include com- pulsory in-company research pro jects. Typically, these projects require research activities which converge into well-founded, practically relevant recom- mendations for management. This book helps students do in-company research via a straightforward step- by-step approach. After mapping out information gaps, research questions are addressed by systematically collecting and analyzing data. The research find- ings help formulate practical recom- mendations. Each step is explained in detail, with extra information and short examples. An applied research project runs throughout the book and illustrates links between steps. The book is accompanied by a website that includes a Prezi of the step-by-step approach, exemplary research reports, helpful hints for work placement and an assessment form.

The Teachers’ Handbook Secondary and vocational education

WalterGeertsandRenévanKralingen Teachers Handbook Secondaryandvocationaleducation

How do you become a successful teacher? As a new teacher you need to learn how to establish specific routines and procedures. However, it takes more than learning the ‘tricks of the trade’ to become a qualified teacher. The Teachers’ Handbook meets the needs of future teachers who require tools to connect theory and practice throughout their studies, enabling them to create well-developed lessons. This handbook discusses fundamental questions such as: How do I educate my students? How do I work effectively with groups? What is my school like? How do I develop my skills as a teacher? These four main questions coincide with parts A to D of this handbook. The fifth part discusses the specific features of pre paratory (VMBO) and senior secondary vocational education (VET, or MBO).

INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION SKI LLS

Diversity Competence Cultures don’t meet, people do

Edwin Hoffman & Arjan Verdooren

DIVERSITY COMPETENCE

Many people in today’s world work, learn and live in international and multicultural environments. Intercultural communication has hence become an important topic in many fields of work and study. Knowledge of cultures and cultural differences is however rarely sufficient in the current globalizing and complex world. In this book, interpersonal communica- tion forms the point of departure: the meeting of people, not of cultures. From there onwards, the authors describe what diversity competence entails: which processes, challenges and skills are relevant in a ‘superdiverse’ world. The TOPOI model consequently offers an inclusive, communicative approach to analyze and address potential miscom- munication.

ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY

Dynamics in Economic Geography Changing views on industrial location and regional development

What is happening where? And why there? These are the geographer’s main questions. The economic geographer mainly focuses in this connection on the location and regional distribution of producers and consumers. Locational preferences and regional development are traditionally explained on the basis of spatial cost and profit differences among countries, regions and cities. There are however also other explanations such as the role of the regional culture, the effectiveness of planological policy and the evolutionary interaction between pro- ducers and their regional environment. Dynamics in Economic Geography surveys the major economic geography theories. These theories pertain to a wide range of practical topics such as the producers’ selection of locations, the role of the state in promoting prosperity in a region, the differences in the competitive strength of countries and regions and the influence of city marketing on the economic growth of cities. The theory is illustrated by numerous examples.
