This book was released on 2015-02-04 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il presente lavoro intende essere un supporto per lo studio e l’esercitazione della Lingua Inglese soprattutto nelle sue particolarità lessicali e funzionali-comunicative. Lo strumento didattico qui proposto si propone innanzitutto di aiutare gli studenti ad ampliare il proprio vocabolario e ad esercitarlo correttamente in contesti scritti, quindi di fornire agli studenti stessi gli strumenti linguistici adeguati per l’approccio al testo scritto ed alla sua comprensione. Il volume si compone di nove Unità, organizzate tematicamente. Alcune di queste sono a loro volta suddivise in due parti, ognuna delle quali basata su argomenti fra loro affini o correlati. Le aree tematiche scelte sono fra quelle più familiari allo studente e riscontrabili nelle situazioni ed esperienze della quotidianità: relazioni interpersonali, familiari e sociali, le attività di ogni giorno, la scuola, lo sport, gli hobbies ed il tempo libero, il cibo, lo shopping, l’ambiente, i viaggi ed il turismo. Ogni Unità si articola in diverse sezioni, di difficoltà crescente, che intendono guidare lo studente nella progressiva acquisizione della padronanza della lingua nel suo passaggio dall’organizzazione frasale a quella testuale. All’interno di ogni singola Unità, la prima sezione è denominata “Vocabulary”: si tratta di un elenco di vocaboli e funzioni comunicative fondamentali, relativi al tema oggetto dell’Unità; tali vocaboli e funzioni sono presentati nella versione inglese e nella traduzione italiana. A completamento viene fornita la spiegazione di parole, locuzioni o aspetti lessicali e comunicativi, che possono essere di interesse particolare per gli studenti o che per gli stessi possono essere motivo di confusione La seconda sezione è denominata “Testing Vocabulary” e comprende esercizi che testano la capacità di usare correttamente all’interno di semplici frasi il vocabolario acquisito. La terza sezione prende in esame il meccanismo di formazione delle parole (Word Formation) attraverso l’ utilizzo di suffissi o prefissi. Tale sezione si correda di esercizi che richiedono allo studente il completamento di spazi bianchi (gaps) con parole create da un vocabolo-base fornito. La quarta sezione si concentra sulla comprensione testuale (Reading Comprehension). Dopo l’acquisizione del lessico di base, gli studenti possono così avvicinarsi al testo nella sua più articolata e complessa organizzazione. Gli esercizi scelti a tale riguardo comprendono testi con spazi bianchi da riempirsi con vocaboli forniti a scelta multipla (multiple choice cloze texts) e / o testi completi corredati da domande con opzioni di risposte sempre a scelta multipla. Alcune Unità contemplano in tale sezione esercizi che richiedono di trovare informazioni in un testo e di completare una griglia relativa con dati desunti dal brano proposto. In altri capitoli, invece, si trovano jumbled texts, brevi frasi da riorganizzare in modo tale da ottenere un brano coeso. Ogni Unità comprende inoltre una Grammar Revision. Lontano dal volere essere una sezione grammaticale esaustiva, tale parte intende essere un “richiamo” degli argomenti grammaticali prevalenti all’interno dell’Unità e, soprattutto, un invito alla revisione delle particolarità grammaticali stesse all’interno del testo di grammatica di riferimento adottato. Al termine di questa introduzione si precisa che le fonti bibliografiche da cui sono stati tratti brani e / o esercizi contenuti all’interno della seguente dispensa sono chiaramente indicate. Tale materiale, desunto da testi che spaziano dalla preparazione al PET a manuali adatti alla prepazione per il superamento del CAE, sono stati sottoposti ad una rielaborazione per conformarli alle esigenze dei destinatari della seguente pubblicazione. Come grammatica di riferimento si è preferito avvalersi del testo: Michael Swan, Practical English Usage, Oxford. Nato dall’esperienza didattica maturata in questi ultimi anni nell’ambito del SELDA e dal riscontro delle difficoltà che gli studenti si trovano ad affrontare nel loro approccio alla Lingua Inglese, il volume si propone ora auspicabilmente come ulteriore e valido strumento di studio e di approfondimento.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2002 book is a guide to Italian usage for students who have already acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge.

Download or read book Courtesans written by Katie Hickman and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2004-11-02 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the course of the nineteenth century, a small group of women rose from impoverished obscurity to positions of great power, independence, and wealth. In doing so they took control of their lives -- and those of other people -- and made the world do their will. Extremely accomplished, well-educated, and unusually literate, courtesans exerted an incredible influence as leaders of society. They were not received at court, but inhabited their own parallel world -- the demimonde -- complete with its own hierarchies, etiquette, and protocol. They were queens of fashion, linguists, musicians, accomplished at political intrigue, and, of course, possessors of great erotic gifts. Even to be seen in public with one of the great courtesans was a much-envied achievement.

Download or read book The Imagined Immigrant written by Ilaria Serra and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using original sources--such as newspaper articles, silent movies, letters, autobiographies, and interviews--Ilaria Serra depicts a large tapestry of images that accompanied mass Italian migration to the U.S. at the turn of the twentieth century. She chooses to translate the Italian concept of immaginario with the Latin imago that felicitously blends the double English translation of the word as "imagery" and "imaginary." Imago is a complex knot of collective representations of the immigrant subject, a mental production that finds concrete expression; impalpable, yet real. The "imagined immigrant" walks alongside the real one in flesh and rags.
Download or read book Kandahar Cockney written by James Fergusson and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable and touching story of a singular friendship between the author (an affluent Western correspondent) and his Pashtun interpreter who meet in an Afghan war-zone and resume their friendship when Mir becomes an asylum seeker in London's East End. In the spring of 1997, James Fergusson, a young freelance British correspondent, encounters a local Pashtun interpreter named Mir in rebel-controlled Afghanistan. They soon become firm friends, with Mir an invaluable guide not only to the battle zone, but to the country's complex politics, culture and traditions. Not long after James's return home, Mir and his family are forced to flee Afghanistan, fearing for their lives. When Mir arrives in London seeking asylum, it is to James that he turns for help. Now their roles reverse: the guided becomes the guide as James introduces Mir to the bewildering customs of the infidel West. Yet in many ways it is Mir who remains the guide -- this time to a side of his own homeland that James had never noticed or engaged with before. He discovers whole communities of Afghans scattered throughout London, and the shadow economy in which asylum seekers are forced to work. He accompanies Mir throug
Download or read book Bilingual First Language Acquisition written by Annick De Houwer and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2009-02-17 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, children grow up hearing two languages from birth. This comprehensive textbook explains how children learn to understand and speak those languages. It brings together both established knowledge and the latest findings about different areas of bilingual language development. It also includes new analyses of previously published materials. The book describes how bilingually raised children learn to understand and use sounds, words and sentences in two languages. A recurrent theme is the large degree of variation between bilingual children. This variation in how children develop bilingually reflects the variation in their language learning environments. Positive attitudes from the people in bilingual children's language learning environments and their recognition that child bilingualism is not monolingualism-times-two are the main ingredients ensuring that children grow up to be happy and expert speakers of two languages.

Download or read book The Zanzibar Chest written by Aidan Hartley and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of colonialism and its consequences. “A sweeping, poetic homage to Africa, a continent made vivid by Hartley’s capable, stunning prose” (Publishers Weekly). In his final days, Aidan Hartley’s father said to him, “We should have never come here.” Those words spoke of a colonial legacy that stretched back through four generations of one British family. From a great-great-grandfather who defended British settlements in nineteenth-century New Zealand, to his father, a colonial officer sent to Africa in the 1920s and who later returned to raise a family there—these were intrepid men who traveled to exotic lands to conquer, build, and bear witness. And there was Aidan, who became a journalist covering Africa in the 1990s, a decade marked by terror and genocide. After encountering the violence in Somalia, Uganda, and Rwanda, Aidan retreated to his family’s house in Kenya where he discovered the Zanzibar chest his father left him. Intricately hand-carved, the chest contained the diaries of his father’s best friend, Peter Davey, an Englishman who had died under obscure circumstances five decades before. With the papers as his guide, Hartley embarked on a journey not only to unlock the secrets of Davey’s life, but his own. “The finest account of a war correspondent’s psychic wracking since Michael Herr’s Dispatches.” —Rian Malan, author of My Traitor’s Heart
