Book Review:
''Study Skills in English'' by Michael J. Wallace is an essential and comprehensive course designed to equip overseas students with the academic skills they need to succeed in British colleges and universities. This Tutor's Book provides invaluable guidance for educators teaching the course, complementing the Student's Book and audio materials.

The course covers a wide range of vital academic skills, including improving reading efficiency, effective note-taking, preparing for seminars and tutorials, conducting research, organizing and writing essays, and preparing for examinations. The emphasis throughout is on practical, realistic work and active student participation. The Times Educational Supplement praises it as ''a first-class book, attractively produced, full of clear, step-by-step, practical and varied exercises.''

This is a must-have resource for teachers and tutors working with international students. It is a well-structured, practical, and effective course that builds students' confidence and competence in an academic environment .
