Dave Keeling's Independent Thinking on Laughter is an enthralling book filled with brilliant ideas on how to make learning fun, enjoyable and meaningful, for both the teacher and the learners.
Those readers like myself who have taught, spoken or coached in tough environments will know that humour breaks down barriers, generates bonding and promotes relationships with the audience. As Dave emphasises, the key to success is to gain experience by putting into practice some of the techniques that he outlines. Once you have enjoyed the buzz or burn, as the author describes it, you will gain the confidence to rule the stage and hold the focus of the crowd. The approaches detailed in this book will help you to build rapport with your learners and, as the author says, -˜get their creative juices flowing'.
Independent Thinking on Laughter will enhance the skills of all teachers to engage, motivate and inspire their learners.-‹
