A re-telling of the biography of Sun Yat-sen, this volume is the
fourth of five supplementary readers to accompany Intermediate
Chinese Reader. It was prepared to be read after the student has
completed that work, though of course it can be read independantly
of the indicated works. These five supplementary readers are in
addition to the five written to accompany Beginning Chinese Reader.
One of the most famous episodes from Water Margin, a traditional
Chinese novel, is here retold in simple Chinese. This text is the
fifth volume designed to supplement the Intermediate Chinese Reader
by John DeFrancis. It is presented in simplified characters, with
pinyin romanization, and an accompanying audio program is
available.
Twenty tales selected from the popular novel Liao chai chih yi by
P'u Sung-Ling are here retold in simple Chinese for the beginning
student. The text is at the 600 character level, and is given in
both complex and traditional characters and both Yale and pinyin
romanization.
This textbook teaches the basics of French grammar, reinforcing its
lessons with exercises and key practice translations. A systematic
guide, the volume is a critical companion for university-level
students learning to read and translate written French into
English; for graduate scholars learning to do research in French or
prepping for proficiency exams; and for any interested readers who
want to improve their facility with the French language. In
addition, A Short Course in Reading French exposes readers to a
broad range of French texts from the humanities and social
sciences, including writings by distinguished francophone authors
from around the world. The book begins with French pronunciation
and cognates and moves through nouns, articles, and prepositions;
verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; a graduated presentation of all the
indicative and subjunctive tenses; object, relative, and other
pronouns; the passive voice; common idiomatic constructions; and
other fundamental building blocks of the French language. Chapters
contain translation passages from such authors as Pascal,
Montesquieu, Proust, Sartre, Bourdieu, Senghor, Cesaire, de
Certeau, de Beauvoir, Barthes, and Kristeva. Drawn from more than
two decades of experience teaching French to students from academic
and nonacademic backgrounds, Celia Brickman's clear, accessible,
and time-tested format enables even beginners to develop a
sophisticated grasp of the language and become adept readers of
French. There is an answer key for translation exercises and for
non-copyrighted translation passages available to professors and
teachers who have assigned this title in a class. Please provide
your name, title, institution, and number of students in the course
in an email to [email protected].
Basic reading proficiency is key to success in all content areas,
but attending to students' literacy development remains a challenge
for many teachers, especially after the primary grades. "Knowledge
to Support the Teaching of Reading" presents recommendations for
the essential knowledge about the development, acquisition, and
teaching of language and literacy skills that teachers need to
master and use. This important book is one result of an initiative
of the National Academy of Education's Committee on Teacher
Education, whose members have been charged with the task of
creating a core knowledge base for teacher education.

professional vault A whole new vision of teaching nonfiction 50
powerhouse lessons A bank of short informational texts Dozens of

Unlike so many books, this one will live its life in actual use:
