Book excerpt: The books in this series prepare English-speaking people to learn to recognize and speak SPANISH WORDS faster. This is imperative since in order to learn a language, one must first learn it's words. This book offers a new "NATURAL" approach to language learning that I developed based on my experience growing up in three countries where I had to learn to speak the language of the country fast. Several new and innovative concepts are used that focus on stimulating the mind, both the conscious and subconscious. These concepts assimilate natural environmental conditions in which our minds are exposed to learning language when we are children and/or adults in foreign lands. To make learning easier, we also take advantage of knowledge that the learner may already have by using words that are similar in both languages, called cognates. We also use most commonly used words for the obvious reasons but also because as the learner is prompted to use them more often they will develop self-confidence which is necessary to learning a new language. In addition, to stimulate the learners mind, we have designed colorful super layered patterns that are highly artistically digitized. We believe that these excite the learner's mind and keep them interested which is a very important for keeping them motivated on learning. And when it comes to learning, we believe that the mind, and memory, can be stimulated through the use of the body. Thus, we encourage you, if you like, to write, draw, doodle or do what you like on or to the pages of the book. Use the medium that you want. The immersion in creativity, can help the learner learn and memorize new words more naturally. Finally, the drawings on every page of this book can be cut from the margin, placed in frames and hung, to your taste, if you want to use them for decoration while at the same time using them to remind you of the new words you are learning. This series of educational books offers one book for every letter of the alphabet. Get them all to complete your collection. Start with the letter "A." From there, you can get books for each letter of the alphabet. Divine Grace is an American artist. She was born in the United States and grew up in Spain and Mexico.

Download or read book Handbook of Bilingualism written by Judith F. Kroll and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is language acquired when infants are exposed to multiple language input from birth and when adults are required to learn a second language after early childhood? How do adult bilinguals comprehend and produce words and sentences when their two languages are potentially always active and in competition with one another? What are the neural mechanisms that underlie proficient bilingualism? What are the general consequences of bilingualism for cognition and for language and thought? This handbook will be essential reading for cognitive psychologists, linguists, applied linguists, and educators who wish to better understand the cognitive basis of bilingualism and the logic of experimental and formal approaches to language science.

Download or read book Foundations of Bilingual Memory written by Roberto R. Heredia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations of Bilingual Memory provides a valuable update to the field of bilingual memory and offers a new psychological perspective on how the bilingual mind encodes, stores, and retrieves information. This volume emphasizes theoretical issues, such as classic memory approaches, Compound-Coordinate Bilingualism, Bilingual Dual Coding Theory, and Working Memory, about which relatively little has been written in the bilingual domain. Also covered are: • The neuropsychology of bilingual memory • Applied issues (such as false memories and bilingualism, emotion and memory) • Empirical findings in support of the uniqueness of the different memory systems of the bilingual individual • Connectionist models of bilingualism The volume represents the first book of its kind, in stressing a memory perspective with regards to bilingual speakers. It can serve as an advanced text for both undergraduate and graduate level students and it will be of great interest to the growing number of bilingual teachers and university classes interested in understanding the bilingual mind, as well as in preparing teachers to work with the bilingual individual.

Download or read book Pollo Pollo What Is That written by Grace Divine and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK DESCRIPTION: How do we first expose English speaking children to learning Spanish? And by the same token, how do we first expose Spanish only speaking children to the English language? This book is meant for that FIRST EXPOSURE to a foreign language. It is meant to operate not just on a conscious level but an unconscious level by building recognition of letter, increasing memory but most importantly, BOOSTING CONFIDENCE. Why do we want to build confidence? Learning a foreign language is difficult. If we can get a child to be more comfortabe with the foreign language and therefore more relaxed, the child will not be so critical of themselves and they will learn in a NATURAL WAY. So, this book no only teaches a child new words and vocabulary and in the process exercising their mind and stimulating their brain, but also, it teaches the child to trust themselves and thus develop confidence. How is this done? One word, COGNATES! COGNATES are words that are similar. For this book, these are words that are similar in English and Spanish. By exposing the child to the foreign language via cognates, what we accomplish is that they learn that there are similarities between the languages, and thus become more comfortable, relaxed and willing to learn the new language. In addition, this is a CUT-OUT PRINTS TO HANG AND DECORATE. But also, having the prints on the walls, will aid in the learning, awareness, exposure and memorization processes. Use the prints in the pages of the book to cut-out & hang anywhere you wish home, classroom, office. Or keep the book intact.
Download or read book The Bilingual Lexicon written by Robert Schreuder and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the study of bilingualism, the lexical level of language is of prime importance because, in practical terms, vocabulary acquisition is an essential prerequisite for the development of skill in language use; from a theoretical point of view, the mental lexicon, as a bridge between form and meaning, plays a crucial role in any model of language processing. A central issue in this volume is at which level of the bilingual speaker's lexicon languages share representations and how language-specific representations may be linked. The contributors favor a dynamic, developmental perspective on bilingualism, which takes account of the change of the mental lexicon over time and pays considerable attention to the acquisition phase. Several papers deal with the level of proficiency and its consequences for bilingual lexical processing, as well as the effects of practice. This discussion raises numerous questions about the notion of (lexical) proficiency and how this can be established by objective standards, an area of study that invites collaboration between researchers working from a theoretical and from a practical background.

Download or read book Learning Spanish Words Through Etymology and Mnemonics written by Yong Huang and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning Spanish Words through Etymology and Mnemonics makes use of etymology to help you remember Spanish words and, failing that, suggests a mnemonic. Combination of these two approaches in one book separates it from other books on the market. The amount and depth of etymology is carefully chosen to be practical and not overwhelm an average reader. The suggested mnemonics aim to help an educated English-speaking person. An adult or young adult who likes learning vocabulary with some word analysis instead of rote memory will find this book to be helpful and a joy to read. With about 3000 words selected from 15000 in the Real Academia Espaola corpus sorted in frequency order, this booklet can be used either as a dictionary or for leisure reading. The hint provided for each word is particularly helpful for short-term memory needed in taking an exam, while the etymological and cultural information will serve you for years to come.

Yong's work is an important addition to the field of language study, and will be a welcome supplement to anyone's vocabulary-building tools." Edward A. Roberts, Professor Emeritus of Central Michigan University, author of A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the Spanish Language "(Yong Huang's book) filled a niche on my language-learning bookshelf I hadn't even thought of before... the system works as an efficient road map to boosting vocabulary by steering readers directly to the most effective words for building understanding and fluency fast, while pointing out shortcuts and possible pitfalls along the way. It's especially useful for well-read adults and polyglots." Miranda Metheny, Spanish Teacher at District of Columbia Public Schools, polyglot, volunteer admin of Facebook Polyglots group
Download or read book Attention and Performance XII written by Max Coltheart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987 this volume presented a comprehensive state-of-the-art account of what was known about the psychology of reading at the time. All the fundamental aspects of reading are considered: visual attention, visual feature analysis, visual masking, letter and word recognition, priming effects, eye movements in reading, phonological processing, working memory and reading, parsing, sentence comprehension, and text integration. The subject of reading is approached from a variety of different theoretical perspectives, including cognitive psychology, connectionism, neuropsychology and linguistics. This broad and comprehensive review will still be of value for undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as research workers engaged in experimental or theoretical investigations of any aspect of the psychology of reading.

This book was released on 2017-05-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you're learning a new language, a cognate is an easy word to remember because it looks and means the same thing as a word you already know. For example, "gratitude" in English means the same as "gratitud" in Spanish. A word is cognate with another if both derive from the same word in an ancestral language. In the case both coming from the Latin word "gratitude", meaning "thankfulness" Focus your English learning on the most frequently used cognates. Learn what you already know. One of the usual mistakes when learning a foreign language is that the student has no priorities. All the unknown words get the same attention. It makes a lot of sense to identify and focus your learning on the words you are already familiar with. In this book, you ́ll find the list of the most used cognate words. Using an algorithm that provides the ranking, this book will provide you with the 100 most frequent cognate words you have to learn first to get around when traveling or interacting with English speaking people. The example phrases are presented in a very simple fashion. No complications. Straight and simple. So, don't waste your time and energy! Focus your effort on the most important cognates you have to learn to master your English! Purchase your copy and start focusing your energy today!
Download or read book Cognition and Pragmatics written by Dominiek Sandra and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ten volumes of "Handbook of Pragmatics Highlights" focus on the most salient topics in the field of pragmatics, thus dividing its wide interdisciplinary spectrum in a transparent and manageable way. While other volumes select philosophical, grammatical, social, variational, interactional, or discursive angles, this third volume focuses on the interface between language and cognition. Language use is impossible without the mobilization of a large variety of cognitive processes, each serving a different purpose. During the last half century cognitive approaches to language have been particularly successful, and the broad spectrum of contributions to this volume testify to this success. As cognitive approaches to language are by definition a subset of the larger enterprise of cognitive science, a contribution on this general topic sets the stage. This is joined by a chapter on cognitive grammar, a theoretical study of the architecture of human language that is deeply inspired by general cognitive principles. A chapter on experimentation offers a crash-course on basic issues of experimental design and on the rationale behind statistical testing in general and the most important statistical tests in particular, offering a methodological toolkit for understanding many of the other contributions. Different chapters cover a broad range of topics: language acquisition, psycholinguistics, specialized topics within the latter field (e.g. the bilingual mental lexicon, categorization), and aspects of language awareness. Some chapters home in on what have become indispensible perspectives on the cognitive underpinnings of language: the way language is represented and processed in the human brain and simulation studies. The ever-growing success of the latter type of studies is exemplified, for instance, by the highly flourishing connectionist tradition and the more general paradigm of artificial intelligence, each of which is dealt with in a separate contribution.

Download or read book Bilingualism Across the Lifespan written by Wendy S. Francis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bilingualism Across the Lifespan explores the opportunities and challenges that are inherent in conducting cognitive research in an increasingly global and multilingual society. Divided into three sections, the book highlights the multifaceted and complex nature of bilingualism. The first section focuses on what every cognitive psychologist ought to know about bilingualism: the impact of bilingualism on cognition across the lifespan, the idea that bilinguals are not a special case, and the importance of bilingualism in cognitive research beyond language. The second section focuses on challenges inherent in bilingual research: diversity of bilingual experience, the assessment of proficiency, and finding matched comparison groups and materials. Finally, the book considers opportunities that are created when bilingualism is incorporated into the cognitive research enterprise. It illustrates how researchers of bilingualism leverage theory, methodology, and findings from single-language research, incorporate uniquely bilingual processes or representations, and target populations of bilinguals that help to establish universal properties. Bringing together leading international contributors, the book provides the reader with a better understanding of the nature of bilingualism and bilingual research as it relates to human cognition. It will be an essential read for all researchers and upper-level students of bilingualism and cognitive psychology more generally.
