Download or read book Cultivating Critical Language Awareness in the Writing Classroom written by Shawna Shapiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces Critical Language Awareness (CLA) Pedagogy as a robust and research-grounded framework to engage and support students in critical examinations of language, identity, privilege and power. Starting with an accessible introduction to CLA, chapters cover key topics—including World Englishes, linguistic prejudice, news media literacy, inclusive language practices, and more—in an inviting and thought-provoking way to promote reflection and analysis. Part I provides an overview of the foundations of CLA pedagogy, while Part II highlights four instructional pathways for CLA pedagogy: Sociolinguistics, Critical Academic Literacies, Media/Discourse Analysis, and Communicating Across Difference. Each pathways chapter is structured around Essential Questions and Transferrable Skills, and includes three thematic learning sequences. Part III offers tools and guidance for tailoring CLA pedagogy to the reader’s own teaching context and to students’ individual needs. The volume’s wealth of resources and activities are a pedagogical toolkit for supporting and embracing linguistic diversity in the classroom. The cohesive framework, concrete strategies, engaging activities, and guiding questions in this volume allow readers to come away with not only a deeper understanding of CLA, but also a clear roadmap for implementing CLA pedagogy in the classroom. Synthesizing relevant research from educational linguistics and writing studies, this book is ideal for courses in English/literacy education, college composition, L2 writing instruction, and educational linguistics.

Download or read book Using Theories for Second Language Teaching and Learning written by Dale T. Griffee and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book helps second language teachers use theories in their practice, exploring in concrete and practical ways the intersections between teachers, learners, and institutions, and theories of teaching, theories of learning, and theories of language. These intersections provide language teachers with critical insights on how to deal with professional complexities and practical guidance on how to develop appropriate pedagogical practice. By focusing on theories of teaching, the authors give readers the tools to create a clear image of the kind of teacher they wish to be. By exploring theories of learning, they promote the formation of teachers' personal theories which allow them to identify their own areas of special interest in learner achievement and enrichment. By examining theories of language, the book shows how administrators and teachers can use theories to identify course goals and plan priorities for class time. Using Theories for Second Language Teaching and Learning treats theory as a concept in its own right and promotes knowing theory as a means of teacher discovery, reflection, and learning through case studies, which are descriptions and analyses of teachers thinking and acting in classrooms and in the institutions in which they work. Every chapter presents case studies with examples from the teaching of different languages, including Chinese, English, French, German, and Korean. An array of theories from multiple disciplines are featured and reflective projects are offered that lead readers to discover the importance and role of theory in daily professional life.

You'll learn grammar and diagramming with these short, simple lessons and exercises, and you'll find all of the answers in the back so that you can easily check your work. These grammar exercises will work for you whether you're a teacher, a student, a writer, an editor, a businessman, a parent, a grandparent, or just a person who loves learning. When you're done with this book, you'll possess a powerful tool for using and understanding language. You'll be able to write with clarity, and you'll actually enjoy grammar. My son just started diagramming sentences. He really enjoys it and says grammar is now his favorite subject! Thanks for inspiring my son and me. - Margaret, Homeschool Mom I have started using your grammar exercises in my writing classes, and the students are quite engaged. - Susan, ESL Teacher I didn't "get" grammar at all growing up, and I was scared of it. Teaching it is terrifying for me. However, diagramming is helping me, so I am teaching it to my students as well. Thank you for inspiring me to love grammar and to feel more confident. - Megan, High School English Teacher I have all your materials, and I think it's all superb. It is a great way to make grammar tuition more dynamic/interactive and less didactic. It also appeals to visual learners. - Terry, Literacy Program Coordinator When I think of the complete breezing-over of this subject in my school years, I'm amazed I can communicate at all. Although I actually get paid to write, I have always felt that my underlying grammatical strength was missing. I love the fact that this material is a confidence-boosting exercise as well as an educational one. I feel more equipped to explore a whole new world of knowledge, simply because I am armed with a fuller understanding of how the sentence works and what the author is saying with style, content, and syntax. - Phil, Writer I find sentence diagramming fun, and my confidence is slowly but surely growing. I think I've missed out on a lot since my teachers never taught me this brilliant way of learning English when I was in school! I would definitely recommend my friends use this method. - Carol, Grammar Lover To be honest with you, the only only way I can stomach studying grammar is through sentence diagramming. I have a "normal" grammar book, but I get so fed up trying to learn all of the rules and the exceptions to the rules. - Elizabeth, (Reluctant) Grammar Lover

Download or read book Inventing English written by Seth Lerer and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of English from the age of Beowulf to the rap of Eminem, “written with real authority, enthusiasm and love for our unruly and exquisite language” (The Washington Post). Many have written about the evolution of grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary, but only Seth Lerer situates these developments within the larger history of English, America, and literature. This edition of his “remarkable linguistic investigation” (Booklist) features a new chapter on the influence of biblical translation and an epilogue on the relationship of English speech to writing. A unique blend of historical and personal narrative, both “erudite and accessible” (The Globe and Mail), Inventing English is the surprising tale of a language that is as dynamic as the people to whom it belongs. “Lerer is not just a scholar; he's also a fan of English—his passion is evident on every page of this examination of how our language came to sound—and look—as it does and how words came to have their current meanings…the book percolates with creative energy and will please anyone intrigued by how our richly variegated language came to be.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Matthews, has made it his mission to bring Far Rockaway Community College back to its former glory. Unfortunately that includes eliminating employees like the adjunct professors. Matthews is up for the job and was thought to have thick skin, until the fiery Ms. Winters crawled under him and began to unravel his facade. He wants her and he will get her.

Download or read book The Aliens Will Come to Georgia First written by Stephen Hundley and published by University of North Georgia. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aliens Will Come to Georgia First is the debut short fiction collection by Stephen Hundley that showcases sixteen bizarre, hard-loving stories set in the foothills, pinelands, low country, and barrier islands of Georgia and a few other places too. Hundley's men and women grapple with death, distant lovers, damaged families as well as sharks, stray dogs, and man-eating tigers, while exploring questions of belonging and duty to people and place. A man discovers an abandoned child at a flea market. A diver visits a sleeping nuclear bomb just a mile from the beach. A woman prophesizes visitors from the stars. This collection works to make the familiar new, and to introduce fantasy and science fiction spurs to the Southern literary tradition. In "Settled," winner of the 2019 Larry Brown Short Story Award, a town is evacuated before a planned flood, but some citizens decide to affix pontoons to the bottom of their house and ride out the storm. While the diner is ripped apart for sport by bored deputies, and wild animals flee the woods, a man moves the grave of his son to higher ground and pleads with his estranged wife to leave for safety, but the forces of guilt and grief compel her to stay, even as the feral dogs howl and the helicopters circle and the flood waters prepare to tear it all away. Hundley brings his characters to the breaking point, where the choices are extreme, and there isn't always a clean way out. The forces in this world inflict brutal wounds and leave their victims estranged and confused. All that remains is the connection of homeplace and the forgiveness they offer, or withhold, from the ones they love. The Aliens Will Come to Georgia First offers an intimate glimpse into a working class and American South populated by men and women who have made themselves acolytes of existential powers-atomic bombs and aliens, the ocean and desperate love. This is a book for dreamers and space cadets, for fighters and providers, for anyone who believes in a connection between the places we come from and the people we become.
