A good teacher keeps a class motivated in order to get the most out of the teaching time available. What about when students are out of the classroom and studying alone? As a teacher it is of real value to know how to encourage your students to adopt best practices in studying, and as a resource for all learners, ALISON is happy to provide this short guide to Basic Study Skills. An introductory-level short guide designed to introduce learners from any discipline and in any part of the world to the fundamentals of good study skills and techniques; the guide will help you to identify what study methods suit you best, and then help you to apply these methods so that you can study successfully and better achieve your goals.

The guide will initially assist you to identify your personal learning style, following which it then offers information on a number of key study skills such as: mind mapping, time-management techniques, keeping a study diary, reading and writing techniques, and listening, speaking and telephone techniques.
