Volume 35 provides the last key word listings. In 2008, two index
volumes will be published, followed in 2011 by four supplementary
volumes.
The Basque language is one of Europe's most ancient, its origins as
mysterious as those of the Basque people themselves. It is also the
official language of Euskadi, the bustling, modern Basque
Autonomous Region of Spain, and the preferred tongue of tens of
thousands of Basques and their descendants living in the European
Basque Country and in diaspora around the world. Aurrera! is a
comprehensive text for beginning-level students who are learning
Basque (the Batua form approved by the Academy of the Basque
Language) in a classroom setting or on their own. Each chapter
introduces an element of grammar and offers students new
vocabulary, written and spoken exercises, dialogues, and other
activities that demonstrate the language in action, plus Basque
reading texts that will entertain while they illustrate the
material covered in the chapter. The complexities of Basque grammar
are explained in clear, easy-to-understand terms, and the dialogues
and exercises introduce students to common idioms and the basics of
social conversation. Volume 1 covers material for the first two
semesters of college-level language-classroom work. It is also
designed to give independent learners a sound foundation in the
language that will allow them to make their own way in a
Basque-speaking environment and to read basic Basque texts.
Designing Language Teaching Tasks provides a research-based account of how experienced teachers and task designers prepare activities for use in the language classroom. It gives detailed information on the procedures which designers follow. The book is a description of research and will therefore interest applied linguists and students in the field. It is written in a clear and comprehensible way, and should appeal to all those who want to learn to write good language teaching materials.
Aimed at young learners and false beginners who may have done an O
Level or GCSE in the past and are returning to French after a gap
of a few years, this title offers a two-track approach: flexible
tutor-led activities for use in class, together with user-friendly
activities for private study. Combining lively content with clear
grammatical explanation the course provides enough material for 24
weeks of study and assumes a weekly pace of 2 hours in class and 2
hours at home. The course comes with audio tapes containing
listening activities for self study.
Medical Arabic is a valuable resource for students interested in
learning medical Arabic at ACTFL level Advanced Low. Effective
communication is essential in health care, and communication is
most effective when both parties share a common language, therefore
resulting in a comfortable relationship between health care
provider and patient. This textbook is intended for those with
prior knowledge of Arabic language and grammar. It is designed to
provide students with the linguistic and cultural competencies and
medical Arabic terminology necessary to communicate in medical
settings such as a hospital, clinic, or a community health care
facility. Students will be able to ask questions in Arabic and
provide answers in common medical situations, conduct patient
interviews, and understand a wider variety of possible responses
from patients. The book provides clear explanations of medical
vocabulary and concepts as they occur in the reading materials to
encourage active interaction with the text. The book's drills are
designed as either in-class exercises or homework. The answer key
for the book exercises is also provided as a downloadable
e-resource. Written by dynamic authors who taught Arabic as a
foreign language for several years and reviewed by physicians and
professionals in the field, the book is an essential guide for
students in medical school, biology, and other science majors.
Students will find Medical Arabic more than merely a textbook but
rather a pathway to enhance their communication skills effectively.
A standard work of historical word formation research. Still
unsurpassed, it sums up the results of predecessors in this area
(the classical works of J. Grimm and W. Wilmanns and the
presentations of H. Paul and F. Kluge) in a clear and
understandable manner. Prof. Dr. Kurt Gartner"
The Intertext series has been specifically designed to meet the needs of contemporary English Language Studies. The core book, Working with Texts, is the foundation text which provides an introduction to language analysis. It is complemented by a range of 'satellite' titles which provide students with hands-on practical experience of textual analysis through special topics. They can be used individually or in conjunction with Working with Texts. Drawing on literary and linguistic theory for analysis of texts, The Language of Advertising covers all aspects of advertising language, from the interrelation of language, image and layout to the discourse between 'reader' and advertisement. The second edition has been substantially rewritten to incorporate recent developments in the field. Features include: * a range of new advertisements, from Orange to Young Person's Railcard * new material on internet advertising and its influence on paper texts * new material on advertising designed to be seen 'on the move' * new activities to support student-directed study * updated Further Reading sections and a list of URLS for students to visit.
