This publication gives guidance on how to teach a foreign language to young learners by linking it to other areas of the curriculum. This approach has the advantage that the teacher may be able to reinforce, in the FL, concepts already developed through other related curriculum work. The emphasis is not so much on defined content learning of particular structures and vocabulary, rather than on exposing pupils to language which should give them a head start in sound recognition and production. The aim is to develop their confidence in dealing with extensive target language use in preparation for their FL experience at secondary level. With the help of numerous practical examples, this book shows how FL activities can be built on and around classroom topics and events.

In Authenticating Whiteness: Karens, Selfies, and Pop Stars, Rachel E. Dubrofsky explores the idea that popular media implicitly portrays whiteness as credible, trustworthy, familiar, and honest, and that this portrayal is normalized and ubiquitous. Whether on television, film, social media, or in the news, white people are constructed as believable and unrehearsed, from the way they talk to how they look and act. Dubrofsky argues that this way of making white people appear authentic is a strategy of whiteness, requiring attentiveness to the context of white supremacy in which the presentations unfold. The volume details how ideas about what is natural, good, and wholesome are reified in media, showing how these values are implicitly racialized. Additionally, the project details how white women are presented as particularly authentic when they seem to lose agency by expressing affect through emotional and bodily displays. The chapters examine a range of popular media-newspaper articles about Donald J. Trump, a selfie taken at Auschwitz, music videos by Miley Cyrus, the television series UnREAL, the infamous video of Amy Cooper calling the police on an innocent Black man, and the documentary Miss Americana-pinpointing patterns that cut across media to explore the implications for the larger culture in which they exist. At its heart, the book asks: Who gets to be authentic? And what are the implications?

"A Mechanical Translation of the Book of Exodus" is the second book in the Mechanical Translation of the Hebrew Bible series which literally translates the book of Exodus using the "Mechanical Translation" methodology and philosophy. This new and unique style of translation will allow a reader who has no background in Hebrew to see the text from an Hebraic perspective, without the interjection of a translator's theological opinions and bias. Because the translation method identifies the morphology of each Hebrew word it is also a tool for those who are learning to read Biblical Hebrew. Book Features: The Hebrew text of Exodus and a transliteration of the text into Roman characters. * The Mechanical Translation, which translates each Hebrew word, prefix and suffix exactly the same way it occurs in the text, and in the same word order as found in the Hebrew. * The Revised Mechanical Translation, which rearranges the words of the Mechanical Translation so that it can be understood by the average reader who does not understand Hebrew syntax. * About five hundred footnotes on the Hebrew grammar, idioms, alternate translations and meanings of specific words and phrases. * A dictionary and concordance for each word used in the Mechanical Translation. * Several appendices detailing specific word and phrase translations.
