Auditory Learners and Government and Politics in the Digital Age.

As all good teachers know, a lot of people learn best by listening.  That’s fine in the classroom, but send them home with some reading to do for homework and it just doesn’t sink in.  These auditory learners don’t get on as well with the written word.  Fortunately, there is a wealth of programmes, videos and podcasts available for immediate download across the Internet.

But, as ever, the key to exam success is to make sure what they listen to is relevant to the specification and in student-friendly language.  That’s where Debates in Politics comes in.  Not only does each debate cover a key issue in relation to the AS and A Level Edexcel or AQA exam board specification, it also includes exam-style questions, that help you prepare them for the exam. The accompanying printed materials including detailed transcripts mean both your visual and auditory learners will keep pace.

Specification-specific editions are so far available for Edexcel and AQA. Click on the links below for prices and previews.
