This book builds upon recent theoretical approaches that define
queerness as more of a temporal orientation than a sexual one to
explore how Edgar Allan Poe's literary works were frequently
invested in imagining lives that contemporary readers can
understand as queer, as they stray outside of or aggressively
reject normative life paths, including heterosexual romance,
marriage, and reproduction, and emphasize individuals' present
desires over future plans. The book's analysis of many of Poe's
best-known works, including "The Raven," "The Fall of the House of
Usher," "The Black Cat," "The Masque of the Red Death," and "The
Murders in the Rue Morgue," show that his attraction to the
liberation of queerness is accompanied by demonstrations of extreme
anxiety about the potentially terrifying consequences of
non-normative choices. While Poe never resolved the conflicts in
his thinking, this book argues that this compelling imaginative
tension between queerness and temporal normativity is crucial to
understanding his canon.
Successful Spoken English demonstrates how spoken learner corpora
can be used to define and explore the constituents of successful
spoken English. Taking the approach that language learners can
speak effectively whilst still using some non-standard forms, this
book: Examines databases of transcribed speech from learners at
each different CEFR level to analyse what makes a successful
speaker of English; Discusses features of communicative competence,
including the use of linguistic strategies, organisation of
extended stretches of speech, and sensitivity to context;
Demonstrates quantitative and qualitative data analysis using
corpus tools, looking at areas such as word frequency; Helps to
reassess the goals of language learners and teachers, and provides
recommendations for teaching practice and for further research.
Successful Spoken English is key reading for postgraduate students
of TESOL and Applied Linguistics, as well as for pre- and
in-service English language teachers.
The use of literature in second language teaching has been
advocated for a number of years, yet despite this there have only
been a limited number of studies which have sought to investigate
its effects. Fewer still have focused on its potential effects as a
model of spoken language or as a vehicle to develop speaking
skills. Drawing upon multiple research studies, this volume fills
that gap to explore how literature is used to develop speaking
skills in second language learners. The volume is divided into two
sections: literature and spoken language and literature and
speaking skills. The first section focuses on studies exploring the
use of literature to raise awareness of spoken language features,
whilst the second investigates its potential as a vehicle to
develop speaking skills. Each section contains studies with
different designs and in various contexts including China, Japan
and the UK. The research designs used mean that the chapters
contain clear implications for classroom pedagogy and research in
different contexts.
Corpus Linguistics for Grammar provides an accessible and practical
introduction to the use of corpus linguistics to analyse grammar,
demonstrating the wider application of corpus data and providing
readers with all the skills and information they need to carry out
their own corpus-based research. This book: explores the kinds of
corpora available and the tools which can be used to analyse them;
looks at specific ways in which features of grammar can be explored
using a corpus through analysis of areas such as frequency and
colligation; contains exercises, worked examples and suggestions
for further practice with each chapter; provides three illustrative
examples of potential research projects in the areas of English
Literature, TESOL and English Language. Corpus Linguistics for
Grammar is essential reading for students undertaking corpus-based
research into grammar, or studying within the areas of English
Language, Literature, Applied Linguistics and TESOL.

Bringing together an international team of researchers, this volume
explores practice in second language learning - activities which
aim to develop skills in or knowledge of a second language. The
book begins with two theoretical overviews of practice as applied
to learning to speak in a second language and in cognitive accounts
of second language acquisition. This theory underpins the volume,
which is split into two main sections: receptive and productive
practice. The studies look at practice in English, German and
Spanish as a second language in various contexts including
traditional classrooms, periods of study abroad and online language
learning. The differing research designs used mean that the
chapters contain clear implications for classroom pedagogy and
further directions for research, teaching and learning in different
contexts.
