In addition, several chapters dwell on the Afro-American Community Dialect, the linguistic system of many Black Americans which contains a variety of structural features often found in creolized languages, as well as Gullah, a creolized form of English spoken in South Carolina. Includes a description of the grammatical systems of Haitian Creole, Jamaican Creole, and the Afro-American Community Dialect; an indication of the types of problems that Haitian, Jamaican, and Afro-American students may experience in learning Standard English because of linguistic interferences from their first languages; and a compilation of innovative techniques for teaching Standard English grammar and sound system to speakers of English as a Standard Dialect, English as a Second Language and English as a Foreign Language.

Download or read book Teaching English at university level written by Mònica Soler Lorente and published by Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya. Iniciativa Digital Politecnica. This book was released on 2008-07-09 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a well-known fact, accepted by most psychologists, that students assimilate knowledge in different ways. Several categories of learners have been identified: oral, visual, kinetic. This has doubtless implications for the second language classroom, as each of the types sees their learning boosted if suitable activities responding to their individual needs are furnished. In our capacity as managers of the learning process, we must cater for all these learning styles, namely through an adequate range of tasks. Communicative activities, group work, and tasks aimed at bringing about and consolidating a network of human relationships (the so-called ice-breaking or getting-to-know-you activities) will be therefore a focus of our lesson plans. This book is thought for helping English teachers at universities, private and Official Schools of Languages.

Download or read book Literacy written by S. N. Colamery and published by Nova Biomedical Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy is defined as the ability to read and write. One would expect that as the world enters the 21st century of the Third Millennium, we wouldn't even need to discuss such a topic. But alas, that is not the case. Even in the United States, the only so-called superpower left standing at the moment, the rate of illiteracy is astonishing. Some cynics say that there is no cause for alarm since the rich elite class needs millions of workers for low-paid jobs and the less educated the better. Others say that the lack of literacy is the fault of the schools and that if we double the pay of the teachers, they will somehow suddenly be interested in teaching. Still others say that with television and VCRs everywhere, who needs to read and write anyway. In this book we have collected citations, sorted and indexed them in a way which we hope will be useful for those seeking further information on this topic. At the beginning, we offer excerpts from some of the fundamental reports summarising the dismal situation.

Download or read book International Perspectives on Critical English Language Teacher Education written by Ali Fuad Selvi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases how teacher educators from diverse backgrounds, contexts, and realities approach English language teacher education with a critical stance. Organized into nine parts that explore different facets of English Language Teaching, each section opens with theoretical considerations chapters and features 24 practical application chapters. Written by renowned scholars including Graham Hall, Lili Cavalheiro, and Mario López Gopar, among others, the theoretical considerations chapters offer concise insights into current issues and controversies in the field, point out opportunities for criticality, and discuss implications for teacher education. Written by critically-oriented teacher educators/researchers from various parts of the world including Brazil, Germany, Morocco, Sweden, Turkey, and the USA, among others, the practical application chapters exhibit various ways to incorporate critical approaches in reshaping current teacher education practices (ranging from critical and queer pedagogy to translanguaging to multilingualism) along with a critical reflection of the potentials and the challenges involved in their application.

Download or read book CCCC Bibliography of Composition and Rhetoric 1991 written by Gail E. Hawisher and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CCCC Bibliography of Composition and Rhetoric, published for the Conference on College Composition and Communication, offers teachers and researchers an annual classified listing of scholarship on written English and its teaching at the college level. The 1991 volume lists and annotates 1,925 articles, books, dissertations, and papers that, with few exceptions, were published during the 1991 calendar year. A group of 171 contributing bibliographers prepared the citations and annotations for the entries appearing in this volume. The CCCC Bibliography includes an index of authors and editors, a subject index, and entries cross-referenced according to subject matter. Considerably more comprehensive than other bibliographies in composition studies, the CCCC Bibliography of Composition and Rhetoric draws upon a large group of experts in the field to aid teachers and researchers in sorting through a vast body of interdisciplinary material, making their work easier and more effective. Annotations accompany all entries in this volume. They describe a publication’s contents and are intended to help users determine its usefulness. Annotations are brief and, insofar as the English language allows, are meant to be descriptive, not evaluative—they explain what an entry is about while leaving readers free to judge for themselves the work’s merits. Most annotations serve one of three functions: they present the document’s thesis, main argument, or major research finding; they describe the work’s major organizational divisions; or they indicate the purpose or scope of the work. The subject index lists most of the topics discussed in the works cited in this volume. Consulting the Subject Index will help users locate sections and subsections containing large numbers of entries addressing the same topic. Each document is cited and annotated only once under one of the five major sections of the CCCC Bibliography. Each entry, however, receives an "entry number" so that cross-references to other sections are possible. This feature is especially useful because much scholarship in composition and rhetoric is interdisciplinary in nature. Cross-references appear as a listing of entry numbers, preceded by "See also," found at the end of each subsection. Entries appear under five major categories: bibliographies and checklists; theory and research; teacher education, administration, and social roles; curriculum; and testing, measurement, and evaluation. Although the CCCC Bibliography excludes master’s theses, textbooks, computer software, and book reviews from its coverage, it furnishes citations to review essays, articles appearing in some 220 journals, scholarly monographs and essay collections, dissertations abstracted in Dissertation Abstracts International, and selected documents and conference materials available through ERIC.

Book excerpt: In this collection of articles, the author reflects on the nature of language, the art of lexicography and the developments in communication, the media and information technology in the late 20th century. The three main subjects looked at are: language at large, and particulary English, the most widely used language in the history of the world; the art and study of dictionaries and reference science, embracing all past, present and potential reference materials - from the "OED" to the "Yellow Pages"; and the processes through which communication, information and knowledge has evoloved - from cave art to the personal computer.

Download or read book An Historic Tongue written by Graham Nixon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, first published in 1988, represents in its papers the wide-ranging yet coherent linguistic interests of the late Barbara Strang (1925-1982). For her, the history of English and its current state were two sides of the same coin, and the principle theme of this collection is that neither one may be properly understood without invoking the other. It is a ‘real-data’ collection, in that its contributors share the view that the facts of language, patiently gathered, recorded and collated, must govern the theory within which they are described, and not vice versa. This philosophy may be seen to operate in all the contributions, and to result in a truly three-dimensional picture of English: data; distribution (temporal, geographical, situational and social); and description. This book will be of interest to students of English language and linguistics.
