Description
Summary:The Teaching Guide for English for Dispute Resolution shows ESL/ESP instructors how to use the textbook to teach negotiation, mediation, professional-level communication, and the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Designed to support instructors who may not have formal background or training in these topics, the book provides separate guidance for ESP and ESL instructors. It shows ESP instructors how to use the textbook in their current Legal English or Business English courses or in stand-alone negotiation or mediation courses. It advises ESL instructors on how to use these topics as a theme for multi-skill courses or as an engaging new way to develop students' cross-cultural communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, leadership, and other soft skills in their current courses. The textbook and guide are based on over twenty years of classroom experience with high-intermediate to advanced ESL and ESP students, from undergrads to LL.M. students, and on teacher-training workshops offered at places such as UC Berkeley, TESOL, and CATESOL.
