Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive collection of the letters of one of the most successful American songwriters of the twentieth century From Anything Goes to Kiss Me, Kate, Cole Porter left a lasting legacy of iconic songs including "You're the Top," "Love For Sale," and "Night and Day." Yet, alongside his professional success, Porter led an eclectic personal life which featured exuberant parties, scandalous affairs, and chronic health problems. This extensive collection of letters (most of which are published here for the first time) dates from the first decade of the twentieth century to the early 1960s and features correspondence with stars such as Irving Berlin, Ethel Merman, and Orson Welles, as well as his friends and lovers. Cliff Eisen and Dominic McHugh complement these letters with lively commentaries that draw together the loose threads of Porter's life and highlight the distinctions between Porter's public and private existence. This book reveals surprising insights into his attitudes toward Hollywood and Broadway, and toward money, love, and dazzling success.

Book excerpt: L'enseignement des langues étrangères, désormais prescrit dans les programmes de l'école élémentaire, est devenu indiscutable. La mention des bénéfices escomptés serait même un lieu commun des textes officiels. Cependant, il n'est pas aisé d'articuler l'acquisition de la langue vivante étrangère avec le développement de la langue première dans le cours des programmes scolaires. Néanmoins, le développement langagier en langue maternelle est loin d'être menacé par l'apprentissage d'une langue étrangère.

Download or read book The Politics of Ethnolinguistic Mobilization in Europe written by Alistair Cole and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language constitutes a very sensitive nexus between the concepts of territory and community. Though a fundamental issue in contemporary societies, it remains relatively unaddressed by political scientists. This book promotes a better understanding of the connection between the concepts of identity, territory and language in the context of an enlarged Europe. We propose a portrait of the actual place of regional languages in European politics. Ethno-linguistic mobilisations have occurred in very different contexts, and their interpretation needs to take into account varying configurations and conditions of success that we label as situational, institutional, and socio-political. The book combines empirical case studies drawn from Spain, the UK, Poland, France, Ireland and Canada with comparative, conceptual and theoretical insights into linguistic uniformity and diversity. The various chapters in the book go beyond description. The originality of the work is to bridge the institutionalisation of language regimes, the sociological analysis of languages rights’ movements, and the normative underpinnings that ought to underpin language claims. This book was published as a special issue of Regional and Federal Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'inscription de la langue étrangère ou régionale dans les programmes de l'école invite à une révision en profondeur des problématiques de la didactique des langues. Cet ouvrage propose une mise en perspective théorique et pratique de la discipline et des spécificités du contexte de l'école primaire. La première partie s'intéresse à cette matière nouvelle sur la palette du maître. Ses caractéristiques et ses enjeux sont explorés et analysés dans leur interprétation institutionnelle et dans les stratégies d'enseignement-apprentissage. La seconde partie montre l'intérêt d'une synergie prenant en compte les articulations entre les apprentissages langagiers. Les projets pédagogiques qui illustrent cette démarche offrent un cadre susceptible de contribuer à une intégration qualitativement réussie de cette matière à l'école. Ce livre s'adresse aux professeurs des écoles en formation initiale et continue, aux étudiants en sciences de l'éducation, en sciences du langage et aux étudiants préparant une option en didactique des langues vivantes. Ils y trouveront des clés pour aborder la didactique des langues étrangères, pour appréhender des concepts qui concernent prioritairement le premier degré et enfin, pour articuler réflexion didactique et mise en œuvre pratique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'enseignement d'une langue vivante étrangère à l'école primaire pose souvent des problèmes à l'enseignant (impression de ne pas avoir les compétences linguistiques ou didactiques), comme aux élèves (finalité de cet enseignement). Cet ouvrage se propose de clarifier ce que recouvre cet enseignement en primaire tant du point de vue du niveau de langue que de celui de l'approche méthodologique. Tout en abordant la posture de l'enseignant et en proposant de nombreux exemples d'activités pour chaque phase du processus d'apprentissage d'une notion, les auteurs présentent la "perspective actionnelle" par laquelle cet apprentissage prend sens pour l'élève. L'ouvrage présente ainsi un certain nombre de séances de langues articulées autour d'un projet et expérimentées dans les classes du cycle 2 et cycle 3, enrichies d'outils variés, tels des programmations, une typologie des activités dans chacune des activités langagières, des fiches support d'activités, des outils pour aborder la phonétique, une sélection d'albums, de sites internet... Toutes les préoccupations majeures et les contraintes matérielles, de temps et d'effectifs, qui sont déterminantes sur le terrain sont traitées ici explicitement : maintenir l'attention, l'intérêt et la motivation des élèves, faire parler tous les élèves, enseigner dans une classe multi-niveaux, utiliser à bon escient un TNI, évaluer... Même si les exemples proposés concernent essentiellement l'anglais ou l'allemand, le transfert à toute autre langue sera très aisé. Le CD-Rom offre tout le matériel nécessaire pour conduire les activités avec la possibilité de personnaliser les fiches activités.

Download or read book Language Awareness and Identity written by Larissa Aronin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a unique insight into multilingualism and sociolinguistic diversity employing the dominant language constellation (DLC) approach. How can novel research inform teaching practices? How do current theories account for multilingual reality in settings as diverse as countries of Western and Eastern Europe and Tunisia and Maghreb? The volume deals with issues of plurilingual identity of teachers and multilingual learners and examines the issues of foreign language teaching both in contexts perceived as monolingual and multilingual Drawing on the intersection of analytic categories such as language repertoire, translanguaging, visuality and narratives, it particularly emphasizes the connections between DLCs, language awareness and identity. The contributors demonstrate how formal language teaching can capitalize on the DLC paradigm and how teacher education programs can use it both as a framework to discuss and as a tool to enhance teacher education and professional development. This volume on DLC as an approach to exploring facets of language awareness and identity presents a very welcome contribution to the study of multilingualism as a complex and dynamic phenomenon. The studies stemming from a range of mainly educational settings in different countries will definitely enhance our thinking perspectives in an area of research with increasing interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking Languages Education assembles innovative research from experts in the fields of sociocultural theory, applied linguistics and education. The contributors interrogate innovative and recent thinking and broach controversies about the theoretical and practical considerations that underpin the implementation of effective Languages pedagogy in twenty-first-century classrooms. Crucially, Rethinking Languages Education explores established understandings about language, culture and education to provide a more comprehensive and flexible understanding of Languages education that responds to local classrooms impacted by global and transnational change, and the politics of language, culture and identity. Rethinking Languages Education focuses on questions about ways that we can develop farsighted and successful Languages education for diverse students in globalised contexts. The response to these questions is multi-layered, and takes into account the complex interactions between policy, curriculum and practice, as well as their contention and implementation. In doing so, this book addresses and integrates innovative perspectives of contemporary theory and pedagogy for Languages, TESOL and EAL/D education. It includes diverse discussions around practice, and addresses issues of the dominance of prestige Languages programs for ‘minority’ and ‘heritage’ languages, as well as discussing controversies about the current provision of English and Languages programs around the world.

Download or read book Social Identities and Multiple Selves in Foreign Language Education written by Damian J. Rivers and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within foreign language education contexts across the globe, inadequate attention has been paid to documenting the dynamics of identity development, negotiation and management. This book looks at these dynamics in specific relation to otherness, in addition to attitudinal and behavioural overtones created through use of the term 'foreign' (despite its position as an integral marker in language acquisition discourse). This book argues that individual identities are multidimensional constructs that gravitate around a hub of intricate social networks of multimodal intergroup interaction. The chapters pursue a collective desire to move the notion of identity away from theoretical abstraction and toward the lived experiences of foreign language teachers and students. While the identities entangled with these interactions owe a significant measure of their existence to the immediate social context, they can also be actively developed by their holders. The collection of chapters within this book demonstrate how foreign language education environments (traditional and non-traditional) are ideal locations for the development of a sophisticated repertoire of discursive strategies used in the formulation, navigation, expression and management of social identities and multiple selves.

Download or read book Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French written by Janice Carruthers and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together two particularly dynamic areas of contemporary research on the French language. The chapters showcase the most innovative current scholarship in historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and in the burgeoning field of historical sociolinguistics which lies at their intersection. The research across the volume is strongly data-centred, drawing on a wide range of both well-established and more novel theoretical and methodological approaches in order to open up new perspectives on the study of the French language in the twenty-first century. Although it is written in English, the work presented here is underpinned by a range of different approaches from across the Francophone and Anglophone worlds. Particular emphasis is placed on combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, on diversifying tools, methods, and objects of inquiry, and on adopting comparative and multilingual perspectives where these shed new light on important questions relating to French. In these ways, Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French highlights some of the most exciting new directions for linguistic research on the French language.
