The actual shape of the hamza, shown above, is a small “c” shape that continues into a line on the bottom. Watch Professor El-Shinnawi write the hamza, first on the line and then on alif, and practice with him. At the beginning of a word it is always written on alif (where the hamza itself is sometimes omitted in unvowelled texts, leaving the alif to represent it). When hamza occurs in the middle of a word, it may be written on a seat that has the shape of any of the long vowels: , , or (you will learn more about these spellings of hamza in unit 8). When hamza occurs after a long vowel at the end of a word, it is written on the line, without a seat, in which case it is a bit larger in size. Copy and practice the shape of independent hamza:

Two related sets of numerals, shown in the chart, are used in the Arab world. The second column from the left, “Arabic–Indic numerals,” contains the set that was developed first, in the eastern part of the Arab world. The numerals in the leftmost column were developed in North Africa and were introduced into Europe from Islamic Spain in the Middle Ages—hence our name for them, Arabic numerals. These numerals have recently been spreading across the eastern Arab world through print media and other technologies. Arab and Muslim mathematicians adopted their numerals from India and expanded on earlier Hindu and Greek contributions to develop algebra and other branches of higher mathematics.

Numbers 0–10

(At home)

Listen to and learn the Arabic names for these numerals:

Watch Professor El-Shinnawi write the numbers 1–10. Notice that he writes zero as a dot, and pay attention to the way he writes the numerals 2 and 3. The handwritten shapes of these two numerals look different than their print forms, and it is important to learn the different shapes so that you do not misunderstand, or be misunderstood. In print, ٢ and ٣ appear in these shapes. In handwriting, however, they take on slightly different forms, in which the handwritten 3 resembles a printed 2, except that its “dip” is much deeper. Following Ustaaz El-Shinnawi and the examples below, practice writing these two numerals:

٢

٣

You can see that the numeral in print closely resembles the numeral when written by hand, except that the hook at the top of handwritten is usually deeper. To avoid confusion, always write these numerals as shown in the handwritten example above, and when reading, remember to differentiate between printed and handwritten forms.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT AL-KITAAB “The Al-Kitaab program is my favorite integrated curriculum for teaching Modern Standard Arabic as a second language because it is a series that spans beginning Arabic through third year and beyond, thereby affording instructors and learners the use of the same environment throughout an extended course of instruction. . . . My students have expressed their liking of the cultural component in particular, which they feel makes them examine their own society and its institutions as they acquire knowledge about Arab life and customs.” Waheed Samy, Department of Near Eastern Studies, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor “I teach Al-Kitaab at the high-school level where these books work well and offer in-depth grammar for beginners.” Huda Alsabe, The Wheeler School, Providence, Rhode Island “The student hears, sees, and reads Arabic, and learning is kept close to an authentic linguistic and cultural experience.” ADFL Bulletin “An extremely impressive volume.” Forum for Modern Language Studies “[T]he authors...have succeeded in genuinely integrating [reading comprehension and listening and speaking activities] . . . The content of the material as well as its methodological approach makes Al-Kitaab highly recommendable to anyone who wants to learn or teach Arabic communicatively . . . [It] represents nothing less than a new generation of textbooks.” British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies “A creative approach to learning Arabic.” Middle East Journal

Kristen Brustad is an associate professor of Arabic at the University of Texas at Austin. Mahmoud Al-Batal is an associate professor of Arabic and the director of the Arabic Flagship Program at the University of Texas at Austin.

Called “a major innovator in his art form” by The New York Times, Baghdad-born poet Abdul Wahab Al-Bayati broke with over fifteen centuries of Arabic poetic tradition to write in free verse and became world famous in the process. Love, Death, and Exile is a rare, bilingual facingpage edition in both the original Arabic text and a highly praised English translation by Bassam K. Frangieh, containing selections from eight of Al-Bayati’s books of poetry. Forced to spend much of his life in exile from his native Iraq, Al-Bayati created poetry that is not only revolutionary and political, but also steeped in mysticism and allusion, moving and full of longing. This collection is the first English translation and the first bilingual edition of his work to be published in the United States. It serves as a superb introduction to Al-Bayati, Arabic language, and Arabic literature and culture as well.

Formal Spoken Arabic Basic Course with MP3 Files ARABIC

Second Edition

Karin C. Ryding and David J. Mehall

T

his edition, updated and with additional exercises, teaches a standardized variant of spoken Arabic that is close to, but more natural than, the literary Modern Standard Arabic.

With a non-grammar-based approach, this book fosters communicative competence in Arabic on all levels and develops speaking proficiency without abandoning Arabic script. Taskbased lessons feature basic dialogues, explanations of new structures, vocabulary expansion, and exercises; emphasize listening and reading comprehension; and introduce oral exercises and activities until the student has achieved basic proficiency. Not intended for self-instruction for beginners, the course assumes some previous knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic, Arabic script and phonology, and previous or simultaneous instruction in orthography.

Karin C. Ryding is professor emerita in the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies at Georgetown University. David J. Mehall is a research associate at the Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL), University of Maryland.

“Goes a long way toward bridging the gap between Arabic Colloquial Dialects at the one end of the spectrum and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) at the other end, and with the addition of a number of key Levantine Colloquial vocabulary items, it allows learners who have a certain expertise in MSA to make use of that expertise appropriately and effectively as they pursue their daily lives in the Middle East.” Gerald E.

n this authoritative, concise linguistic description of the structure and use of modern Arabic, Clive Holes explains the structural characteristics—phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and lexical and stylistic developments—that the majority of the dialects share, as distinguished from Modern Standard Arabic. This new edition takes into account research published in several areas of Arabic linguistics since the first edition was published in 1995. It includes more extensive comment on the North African Arabic vocabulary of Modern Standard Arabic, more information about “mixed” varieties of written Arabic that are not in MSA (especially in Egypt), updated references, explanations, and many new examples. All Arabic is transcribed, except for an appendix presenting the Arabic alphabet and script.

Based on her fieldwork, Omar describes the physical and social environment in which the native language of Arabic is learned; the development of early communication and speech; and when and how children learn the phonology, vocabulary, morphology, and syntactical patterns of Egyptian Arabic. Omar makes comparisons with aspects of language acquisition of other languages, primarily English, and explores implications for the theory of language acquisition. Originally published in 1973, this book is the most thorough and complete analysis of the stages in which children learn Arabic as a first language. The Arabic in this book is presented in transcription, making the information accessible to all linguists interested in language acquisition.

“Arabic Sociolinguistics is to my knowledge the only up-to-date, comprehensive manual on the whole subject. The book is written in a pleasingly informal style, and is full of acute (and often personal) observations on the subtle ways in which language and society interact in the Arabic-speaking world. It should be of great benefit both to the student of Arabic and the general linguist with no knowledge of Arabic.”

A Dictionary of Informal Brazilian Portuguese with English Index Bobby John Chamberlain and Ronald M. Harmon, Editors

720 pp., 2003 ISBN 978-0-87840-344-8 paper, $37.50

Brazilian Portuguese is colorful and everchanging in its gíria or slang (from the simply conversational to the vulgar)—and advanced students are often only exposed to the formal or classic literary forms of the language. Originally published in 1983, this dictionary remains a valuable reference tool to help bridge the gap between the classroom and the streets and contemporary literature of Brazil. Beyond students and researchers, this dictionary, containing over 7500 Brazilian expressions, will be invaluable to travelers, businesspeople, translators and others who are seeking insight into the rich nuances to be found in informal Brazilian Portuguese.

Gramática para la composición Segunda edición

M. Stanley Whitley and Luis González

I

ntegrating grammar and composition, this comprehensive second edition guides the advanced student through progressively more complex types of writing by organizing the grammar lessons on a functionalist basis around the needs of composition. This innovative approach to teaching Spanish grammar and composition promotes systematic language development and enables students to strengthen their expressive and editing skills in the language in order to write more effectively and more confidently. Refined by years of classroom testing and analysis of the problems students encounter, this bestselling textbook has been substantially rewritten and incorporates current research in composition, pedagogy, secondlanguage acquisition, and linguistics. Expanded self-correcting exercises are also available online, making Gramática para la composición one of the most valuable textbooks available for advanced students of Spanish.

Features • Focuses on work in six level-appropriate types of composition: description, synopsis, personal narrative, creative narrative, exposition, and argumentation

• Based on ACTFL guidelines for students progressing from interme436 pp, 2007 ISBN 978-1-58901-171-7, paper, $64.95

“The breadth and depth of each lesson’s treatment of the requisite and relevant grammar points is remarkable: the ins and outs of Spanish structure and vocabulary (especially points troublesome to English speakers) are here clarified and exemplified. . . . an invaluable review and reference grammar which students will consult again and again.” Philip W. Klein, University of Iowa

diate to advanced levels of proficiency

• Covers syntax, dictionary skills, problematic word distinctions, and rhetorical features of discourse structure

• Contains exercises on grammar practice, working with sentences and paragraphs, guided essays, and free composition

“One of the most attractive features separating Gramática para la composición from other textbooks of its kind is the descriptive adequacy of grammatical explanations. . . . Indeed, this is a very good textbook for the advanced undergraduate learner of Spanish.” Hildebrando Ruiz Morales, University of Georgia

“With its clear explanations and wide variety of exercises, this textbook provides ample opportunity for students to acquire both the linguistic knowledge and the organizational skills needed for producing well-written compositions in Spanish.”

SPANISH

Michael Reider, West Virginia University

NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION • Each lesson has been clearly divided into two distinct parts: Presentación (material that students prepare before class) and Aplicación (the activities they do in class or as homework) • Prácticas individuales have been expanded and recreated as self-checking exercises that provide immediate feedback and scoring. These prácticas are available for free online at www.gramaticaparalacomposicion.com

• Images from William Bull’s Visual Grammar of Spanish help with distinctions that seem difficult • An Instructor’s Manual—available for free online—reviews teaching and grading methodology for writing-intensive courses, offers suggestions for syllabus organization and for teaching each lesson, and provides additional exercises and activities.

LA NARRACióN COMPLEJA

APLICACIÓN Actividades

Capítulo IV

B. En parejas o grupos pequeños, hagan una lista de 5 pronósticos sobre el mundo del año 2030. (Sugerencias: guerras y conflictos, el hambre, el gobierno, el transporte, la tecnología, el medio ambiente, ciertos miembros de la clase, etc.). Luego, cada grupo reporta dos de sus pronósticos más interesantes a la clase.

La narración compleja El cuarto capítulo continúa nuestro enfoque en la narración, pero pasamos a un nivel más complejo, o sea menos apegado a una cronología estricta. Para hacer más interesante su relato, el narrador varía su perspectiva y manipula el transcurso de tiempo, ya acelerando la acción, ya deteniéndose para comentar otros datos relevantes. Al adoptar una cronología más flexible, el narrador emplea un lenguaje más elaborado para manejar el tiempo y dar más información sobre los sucesos que viene presentando. Lección 19: las funciones del participio en la descripción y de los tiempos perfectos que presentan sucesos anteriores. Lección 20: el futuro, el condicional y otros modos de pronosticar o conjeturar lo que va (o iba) a pasar. Lección 21: el uso de las conjunciones adverbiales para vincular los sucesos y destacar las relaciones de ‘antes’ y ‘después’; ‘causa’ y ‘efecto’; ‘posibilidad’ y ‘realidad’, etc. Lección 22: el gerundio y sus funciones en la presentación del trasfondo o la manera. Lección 23: la expresión del transcurso, o sea del tiempo que ha pasado desde el comienzo o el final de una situación. Lección 24: las composiciones de narración compleja.

LeCCIón

A. Pronósticos: formen parejas. Cada estudiante hace una lista de 5 predicciones (en el futuro) sobre su futuro: 3 deben ser absurdas y 2 bien probables (p .ej., “El próximo año sacaré una ‘A’ en todas mis clases”). Luego, le lee cada predicción a su compañero, quien responde con duda (“No, no creo que...”, “No, dudo que... “, “No es probable que...”, etc.), o con creencia (“Sí, creo que...”), adivinando así sus dos predicciones verdaderas.

Ejercicios C. 1. 2. 3. 4.

(Alternativa: Actividad. En parejas, entreviste a otro miembro de la clase, haciéndole preguntas para obtener esta información de él/ella.) D. Conjeture o especule sobre lo que harán o harían estas personas a la hora indicada. Modelo: El Presidente de los Estados Unidos. 8:00 de la mañana. → Desayunará con una delegación de agricultores del centro del país. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

19: El participio y los tiempos perfectos

Como dice el refrán: • Más vale guerra abierta que paz fingida.

PRESENTACIÓN 19.1. La formación del participio. El participio es la forma del verbo que puede usarse como adjetivo. El del inglés tiene una formación variable, mientras el del español siempre acaba en -o, con la típica flexión de los adjetivos en -o: the washed/broken/mislaid plates los platos lavados/rotos/extraviados El participio se forma regularmente añadiendo -ado a la raíz de los verbos en -ar, -ido a la de los verbos en -er/ir. Con el desplazamiento del acento a este sufijo, los cambios radicales (ie), (ue), (i) no se aplican. dar: dado apretar (ie): apretado tostar (ue): tostado

comer: comido querer (ie): querido dormir (ue): dormido

salir: salido pedir (i): pedido construir: construido

Diga o escriba una lista de tres cosas para cada categoría (tenga cuidado con el tiempo verbal):

3 cosas que usted hará mañana 3 cosas que usted hará durante el próximo año 3 cosas que usted habrá hecho durante la próxima década 3 problemas que, al graduarse del colegio, usted creía que tendría en la universidad

ser: sido ir: ido haber: habido

E.

Su profesor de español. 10:00 esta noche. La primera dama de la nación. 4:00 de la tarde hoy. Los jugadores de basquetbol de la universidad. 3:30 de la tarde hoy. El entrenador de basquetbol de la universidad. 9:00 de la noche de ayer. Su profesora de inglés. 6:30 de la tarde el domingo pasado. El Presidente (o rector) de esta universidad. 12:30 de la noche el sábado pasado. El miembro más activo de su familia. 6:30 de la mañana ayer.

Más conjeturas: siga contestando de manera especulativa.

¿Dónde están los padres de usted ahora? ¿Qué han hecho hoy? ¿Dónde está su mejor amigo? ¿Qué ha hecho hoy? ¿Dónde está el presidente (o rector) de su universidad ahora? ¿En qué está pensando?

LA NARRACióN COMPLEJA

take someone/go fishing, shopping: llevar a alguien/ir de pesca, de compras take someone/go skating, skiing, camping: llevar a alguien/ir a patinar, a esquiar, a acampar La oración Se fueron patinando no significa ‘they went skating’ sino ‘they skated away, left on skates’ (v. §22.1.2). 2¡OJO! Siempre recuerde que en español el gerundio es como un adverbio. El intento de usarlo como sustantivo: *Esquiando es divertido. (correcto: Esquiar es divertido). *La experiencia de viviendo en España. (correcto: La experiencia de vivir en España). *Antes de estudiando, vi la tele. (correcto: Antes de estudiar, vi la tele). como adjetivo: *las mujeres trabajando, o aun peor, * trabajandas. (correcto: Las mujeres trabajadoras o que trabajan). *la mayoría de la gente entrando en el país (correcto: La mayoría de la gente que entra...). o con conjunción: *Mientras bailando, se besaron. (correcto: Mientras bailaban, se besaron). es uno de los errores más graves de estudiantes de habla inglesa.

22.3. El gerundio con verbos de percepción. En cambio, el gerundio español se emplea con verbos de percepción exactamente como en inglés: ver, oír: Vi (oí) a alguien gimiendo allí. ‘I saw (heard) someone groaning there’ pillar, encontrar: La pillé (encontré) copiando la respuesta. ‘I caught (found) her copying the answer’ imaginar, mostrar, pintar: El artista intentó mostrar (imaginar, pintar) al capitán montando a caballo. ‘The artist tried to show (imagine, paint) the captain riding a horse’ Aquí el gerundio (gimiendo, haciendo, montando) sigue con una función adverbial: no modifica al objeto directo, sino que denota la manera o las circunstancias de observación, como una reducción de cláusula adverbial: Vi a Sonia regañando a José. = Vi a Sonia mientras (ella) regañaba a José.

22.4. Los tiempos progresivos. La construcción inglesa be + -ing que se llama progresiva corresponde en español a varias construcciones compuestas de verbo auxiliar + gerundio que tienen funciones diferentes. 22.4.1. Estar + gerundio. En inglés tendemos a usar el presente simple (p. ej. walks) para los sucesos habituales, y el progresivo (p. ej. is walking) para los que ocurren ahora mismo, en este momento. Puesto que este presente simple no cubre las acciones actuales, hay que cambiar al progresivo inglés para comunicar este segundo sentido. En cambio, el español suele expresar ambos sentidos con su presente simple (v. §1.3):

Gramática visual: el progresivo—imperfecto vs. pretérito

F. Buenos propósitos. Es la Noche Vieja, el 31 de diciembre, y usted piensa en sus “buenos propósitos” (‘resolutions’) para el Año Nuevo. Haga una lista de 7 cambios que intentará, contrastando (con verbos distintos) lo que ha hecho con lo que hará, conforme al modelo. Modelo: He sido impaciente a veces con mi familia. En el Año Nuevo, tendré más paciencia.

Jorge M. Guitart is professor of Spanish linguistics at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and author of El caso gramatical en el español en la teoria de los roles semánticos and coauthor of Personajes and Somos Así.

onido y sentido lifts the learning of Spanish pronunciation for American Englishspeaking students to a new level, with support of an accompanying CD. Written in Spanish by a native speaker and a leader in the field of Spanish phonology, this introduction to Spanish phonetics and phonology will improve both the pronunciation and understanding of spoken Spanish by demonstrating the specific ways in which the sound pattern of Spanish differs from English. It explains the “why” of pronunciation with specific information on how the sounds of Spanish are organized, and it also highlights the most important differences among varieties within the Spanish-speaking world. Together, the book and CD emphasize the sounds and sound combinations that are most problematic for English speakers learning Spanish.

“Finally, Sonido y sentido provides us with an excellent overview of Spanish phonetics and phonology for speakers of English, written in Spanish, with phonetic symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet and with discussion on the major differences from English.” Orlando R. Kelm, University of Texas at Austin

Spanish/English Contrasts A Course in Spanish Linguistics Second Edition M. Stanley Whitley

A

n invaluable one-volume description of the Spanish language and its differences from English, this book covers topics ranging from pronunciation and grammar to word meaning, language use, and social and dialectical variation. Designed for survey courses in Spanish linguistics with technical concepts explained in context for beginners in the field, Spanish/English Contrasts brings out the ways in which insights into the two languages have evolved as scholars have built on the work and research of others in the field. A bilingual glossary of linguistic terms is provided to facilitate discussion in either language. This second edition is thoroughly updated, includes an expanded bibliography and index, and adds new exercises for student application and class discussion. Its approach remains broadly based however, in order to accommodate a range of areas and data rather than focusing narrowly on one single theory or research area, and it continues to emphasize implications for language teaching, translation, and other practical applications.

En otras palabras

Perfeccionamiento del español por medio de la traducción Patricia V. Lunn and Ernest J. Lunsford

T

ranslation (traducción), as used in En otras palabras, is an activity that combines the intellectual with the practical: in order to produce an acceptable translation, students must focus their attention on lexical and grammatical detail. This challenging and enjoyable textbook combines incisive grammar explanation, relevant lexical information, and a wide variety of translation texts and exercises. En otras palabras contains two kinds of translation texts: Spanish to be translated into English, and English into Spanish. Translating into English requires students to understand every detail of the Spanish text, and then decide how these details might best be expressed in English. Translating into Spanish requires students to recognize how Spanish structures and words do—and do not—parallel those of English. Both activities provide advanced students of Spanish with an invigorating linguistic workout, and serve as an effective introduction to the practice of translation.

A Dictionary of Turkish Verbs In Context and By Theme

˘ Ralph Jaeckel and Gülnur Doganata Erciye¸s with the Collaboration of Mehmet Süreyya Er

O

ne of the keys to learning the Turkish language is to understand the importance and function of the verb. The stem of the verb, together with various suffixes of mode, tense, person, along with a subject and/or object, may be the equivalent of an entire English sentence. A Dictionary of Turkish Verbs is an aid to both the beginning and more advanced student of the language by providing approximately 1,000 verbs in context as they appear in up-to-date colloquial Turkish phrases and sentences, or short dialogues in translation. Contrasting English and Turkish ways of expression, this multipurpose dictionary also helps the English speaker avoid the most common errors—with most verbs cross-referenced to related verbs, synonyms, or antonyms, and to the broader themes or categories of meaning to which they belong. Includes an English-Turkish index and a thesaurus section (using Roget’s categories) where verbs of related meaning appear together and a short reference list of verb-forming suffixes. For students at any stage of learning the Turkish language, or for the self-motivated traveler, this unique dictionary will help open the door to greater understanding in an increasingly important area of the world.

ritten for intermediate to advanced students of Japanese, this book focuses on the language used in reallife business situations, giving students both the linguistic skills and the practical information they need to conduct business in Japan.

144 pp., 2001 ISBN 978-0-87840-855-9, paper, $24.95

More than a guide to language and vocabulary, Business Japanese emphasizes critical thinking and cultural awareness. The book covers Internet and other technical terminology, numbers, and the phrasing of corporate documents. In addition to language elements, the authors provide a short course in the cultural learning that takes place when Americans do business in Japan, discussing topics such as interpersonal dynamics and communications styles. The book also uses the case-study method commonly accepted in business schools. Appropriate for content-based courses as well as the independent student, Business Japanese is not only an effective language text but also an intercultural handbook. “Business Japanese demonstrates what a superb linguist working jointly with a seasoned business professional can accomplish. It is a welcome addition to the field of teaching Japanese for business purposes.” Yoshiko Higurashi, San Diego State University

Analyzing the Grammar of English Third Edition

Richard V. Teschner and Eston E. Evans

D

esigned to be covered in one semester, this textbook starts from scratch and takes nothing for granted beyond a reading and speaking knowledge of English. Extensively revised to function better in skillsbuilding classes, it includes more interspersed exercises that promptly test what is taught, simplified and clarified explanations, greatly expanded and more diverse activities, and a new glossary of over 200 technical terms.

248 pp., 2007 ISBN 978-1-58901-166-3, paper, $34.95

“Teschner and Evans provide a text that is simply and clearly explained while at the same time presenting the full complexity of the essential structures of English. Students find the exercises useful, challenging, and even entertaining.” Rebecca Babcock, University of Texas of the Permian Basin

Analyzing the Grammar of English is the only English grammar to view the sentence as a strictly punctuational construct—anything that begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, a question mark, an exclamation mark, or three dots—rather than a syntactic one, and to load, in consequence, all the necessary syntactic analysis onto the clause and its constituents. Students and teachers in courses of English grammatical analysis, English teaching methods, TESOL methods, and developmental English will all benefit from this new edition.

Introduction 1. Utterances, Sentences, Clauses, and Phrases 2. Verbs, Tenses, Forms, and Functions 3. Basic Structures, Questions, Do-Insertion, Negation, Auxiliaries, Responses, Emphasis, Contraction 4. Modals, Prepositional and Particle Verbs, Transitivity and Voice, and Conditionality 5. Some Components of the Noun Phrase: Forms and Functions 6. Adjectives and Relative Clauses 7. Adverbs, It and There Referentials and Non-Referentials, and Fronting 8.

ichard Teschner and M. Stanley Whitley present an improved description of English pronunciation and conclude each chapter with suggestions on how to do a better job of teaching it. An appendix with a brief introduction to acoustic phonetics is also included. Revolutionary in its field, Pronouncing English declares that virtually all aspects of English pronunciation—from the vowel system to the articulation of syllables, words, and sentences— are determined by the presence or absence of stress. Distinguished by being the first work of its kind to be based on an exhaustive statistical analysis of all the lexical entries of an entire dictionary, Pronouncing English is complemented by a list of symbols and a glossary.

Task-Based Instruction in Foreign Language Education

Content-Based Instruction in Foreign Language Education

Practices and Programs

Models and Methods

Betty Lou Leaver and Jane R. Willis, Editors

Stephen Stryker and Betty Lou Leaver, Editors

Full of concrete, adaptable models of task-based language teaching drawn from a number of countries and eleven different languages— including Arabic, Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, Korean, Spanish, and Ukrainian—Task-Based Instruction in Foreign Language Education presents proven, real-world, practical courses and programs; and includes web-based activities. It demonstrates useful and practical ways to engage students far beyond what can be learned from reading textbook dialogue.

This book offers concrete and practical ideas for implementing content-based instruction— using subject matter rather than grammar —through eleven case studies of cutting-edge models in a broad variety of languages, academic settings, and levels of proficiency.

For all instructors seeking to help their learners enhance their understanding and grasp of the foreign language they are learning, Task-Based Instruction in Foreign Language Education is a rich and rewarding handson guide to effective and transformative learning. “An invaluable resource. . . . Any teacher who wishes to improve student’s fluency will find inspiration and guidance in this volume.” Patricia Chaput, Harvard University

The highly innovative models illustrate contentbased instruction programs for both commonly and less-commonly taught languages—Arabic, Croatian, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Russian, Serbian, and Spanish—and for proficiency levels ranging from beginners to fluent speakers. They include single-teacher and multi-teacher contexts and such settings as typical language department classrooms, specialty schools, intensive language programs, and university programs in foreign languages across the curriculum. 320 pp., 1997 ISBN 978-0-87840-659-3, paper, $27.50

TEACHING METHODs & SLA

An invaluable reference for experienced researchers and CALL developers as well as those of limited experience, Brave New Digital Classroom is also ideal for graduate-level courses on second language pedagogy. It will also be of interest to department chairs and administrators seeking to develop and evaluate their own CALL programs.

“A comprehensive introductory textbook . . . This book deserves the special attention of anyone who is interested in adult SLA.” Language and Education

“Equally valuable as a handbook or as a course text, this volume should be owned by any serious student or researcher in second language acquisition. The timely collection covers an impressive amount of intellectual terrain in a remarkably authoritative yet even-handed manner.”

Language, Mind and Brain is a delightfully readable, yet erudite exploration of how the human mind processes and orders sounds and words into meaning. It explores how properties of the human mind/brain constrain linguistic structure and how linguistics can benefit by combining traditional linguistic methodologies with insights from research on language acquisition, processing, and impairment.
