Beginning Latin for College Students is the fruit of the author's
40 years of teaching Latin in higher education. Clear, compact and
concise, this book helps students progressively master grammatical
concepts, acquire meaningful vocabulary, and begin to successfully
read real Latin from Roman authors. All practice sentences,
passages, and illustrative examples in the book are taken verbatim
from over 150 primary works by 38 classical Roman authors. Students
are transported back in time through this encounter with real Latin
by real Romans writing about things humans have always cared
about-life and death, love and betrayal, war and peace. This
authentic material provides instructors the opportunity to bring
the Roman world to life. The condensed number of carefully selected
vocabulary words helps students build a strong foundation and
complete exercises without being overwhelmed by excessive
annotations or needing to consult a dictionary. Core vocabulary
words are used multiple times throughout the book allowing students
to see them in various permutations. Grammatical concepts are
gradually introduced in clear, simple language over the course of
66 compact chapters-making it easier for college students to learn
and enjoy Latin.

Featuring readings by educational professionals within
administration, teaching, and research, Introduction to English
Language Learning and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy: Critical
Readings helps pre-service and in-service teachers successfully
work with culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students and
families. The opening chapter provides key background information
and practical measures educators can leverage to address the needs
of students. Additional chapters examine the major concepts,
theories, and stages of second language acquisition; corrective
feedback and the role it plays in teaching language learners; the
ways in which technology can enhance student learning; and
assessment as it relates to English language learners. Readers
learn about issues to consider when working with Latino students
and other migrant populations. They explore key concepts of
culturally responsive teaching and read contextualized examples of
the eight components of Sheltered Instructional Observation
Protocol (SIOP). Closing chapters provide important insights on
working with high school newcomer immigrants and considerations for
working with specific groups of CLD students and their families.
Highly practical and scholarly in nature, Introduction to English
Language Learners and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy is an
exemplary resource for courses and programs with emphasis on
working with CLD students.
La Grammaire pour le dire was written with two basic principles in
mind: minimizing grammatical jargon and maximizing the use of
authentic French through exposure to some of the best examples of
French and Francophone literature. Wherever possible, the exercises
are built on the use of excerpts from well-crafted literary texts
that clearly exhibit the grammatical structures which are covered
in a typical French grammar review course. The text reviews the
verb conjugation concepts of voice, mood, and tense. It covers
determiners, adjectives and adverbs, comparatives and superlatives,
prepositions, conjunctions, and pronouns. Students can review
direct and indirect reported speech and learn literary tenses. This
second edition features a more concise presentation of material,
fresh literary excerpts and exercises, and new images. La Grammaire
pour le dire enhances the language learning experience by giving
students exposure to the language as it is used by native speakers.
The literary excerpts not only model grammatical structures, but
also convey cultural knowledge.
