Leonardo Da Vinci	Oxford University Press
Автор: Raynham Alex Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2013	PDF, 56 страниц, 1.68 МБ 0 Оценка:
What does the world look like from the moon? How do our bodies work? Is it possible for people to fly? Can I make a horse of bronze that is 8 metres tall? How can we have cleaner cities? All his life, Leonardo da Vinci asked questions. We know him as a great artist, but he was one of the great thinkers of all time, and even today, doctors and scientists are still learning from his ideas.

On a quiet sea, the biggest ship in the world is waiting. There is no noise from the engines. Up in the night sky there are hundereds of stars.

Down in the third-class cabins, families sleep. An exciting new life is waiting for them in America. But for many of the people in this small city of the sea, this is their last night alive...

You can drink it, and you can cook with it. You can even make buildings, dresses, and hats out of it. You can give it to somebody as a present, or you can buy it for yourself.

Follow its story, from the forests of Central America hundreds of years ago, through Africa, Europe, and the United States, to the growing markets of India and China.

San Francisco	Oxford University Press
Автор: Janet Hardy-Gould Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2012	PDF, 64 страницы, 1.92 МБ 0 Оценка:
It's a good place for gold, said people in the 1840s, and they came from all over the world. It's a good place for a prison, said the US government in the 1920s, and they put Al Capone there on the island of Alcatraz. It's a good place for love, said the hippies in the 1960s, and they put flowers in their hair and came to Haight Ashbury. And San Francisco is still a good place — to take a hundred photographs, or see the Chinatown parade, or just to sit in a coffee shop and be in this interesting, different city...

More than 20 million visitors come to Scotland each year. Some love it for its long white beaches and quiet green hills. Some like the busy cities, with their shops and museums, castles and parks.

And some come to visit the whiskey distilleries, eat wonderful food, and go to one of the world's biggest street parties. Scotland has something for everybody. Come and find what Scotland has for you.

Translation in Language Teaching	Oxford University Press
Автор: Cook Guy Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2010	PDF, 202 страницы, 6.06 МБ 5 Оценка:
A groundbreaking reconsideration of translation in English language teaching, this book is a survey and critical assessment of arguments for and against translation in different teaching contexts. This book proposes translation as one of a number of ways of relating English to students own languages. It surveys the contexts of monolingual and bilingual teaching and discusses the different uses and roles of translation and bilingualisation for different stages and ages of learning and for different purposes, e.g. explanation, practice, and testing. Establishing a new direction in practice and research, it goes on to suggest and discuss ways in which translation might be incorporated into materials, curriculum development, and teacher education. The book presents translation as: An aid to language acquisition, pedagogy, and testing. A contribution to student needs, rights, and empowerment. An educational insight into relationships between languages and cultures.

The Struggle to Teach English as an International Language	Oxford University Press
Автор: Holliday Adrian Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2005	PDF, 248 страниц, 7.44 МБ 7 Оценка:
This book is about the worlds and conflicts of TESOL teachers and researchers, whose professional lives are both enriched and problematized by the cultural and political interfaces created by working with an international language. Central to this discussion is the balance of power in classroom and curriculum settings, the relationship between language, culture, and discourse, and the change in the ownership of English.

Resisting Linguistic Imperialism in English Teaching	Oxford University Press
Автор: A. Suresh Canagarajah Издательство: Oxford University Press, 1999	PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ 0 Оценка:
This book describes the creative strategies employed by teachers and students in periphery communities in order to use the English language in a manner that suits their needs while subtly resisting the linguistic imperialism that many scholars have identified as the consequence of the global ELT enterprise. After developing trends and ideas from those oppositional strategies, the book goes on to outline elements of a critical pedagogy suitable for ELT in formerly colonized communities. As the English language continues to spread globally, this book will be essential reading for English teachers and applied linguists wishing to understand the ideological challenges in the periphery. Curriculum planners and policy makers will also find it a necessary aid to exploring the pedagogical alternatives.

Literacy and Second Language Oracy	Oxford University Press
Автор: Tarone Elaine Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2009	PDF, 156 страниц, 4.68 МБ 0 Оценка:
Learners who cannot decode alphabetic script have been left out of the SLA research enterprise, at considerable cost to our understanding of the human capacity for language learning. This book offers research evidence documenting the significant impact of low literacy skill on adolescents' processing of oral L2 input and acquisition. Together with a large body of closely related research in cognitive psychology, the findings lead to a startling conclusion: language processing skills that have been assumed to be universal human traits appear instead to be a product of learners' experience with alphabetic print literacy.

The Multilingual Subject	Oxford University Press
Автор: Claire J. Kramsch Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2010	PDF, 244 страницы, 7.32 МБ 0 Оценка:
By drawing on multiple examples of real-world language learning situations, this book explores the subjective aspects of the language learning experience.

The book analyses data from a variety of sources, including language memoirs, online data from language learners in chat rooms, and text messaging exchanges. In the analysis of this data, the book looks at the relationship between symbolic form and the development of a multilingual subjectivity, links with memory, emotion, and the imagination, and the implications for language teaching pedagogy.

Language Play, Language Learning	Oxford University Press
Автор: Cook Guy Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2000	PDF, 242 страницы, 7.26 МБ 5 Оценка:
This book has two related purposes. The first is to demonstrate the extent and importance of language play in human life; the second is to draw out the implications for applied linguistics and language teaching. Language play should not be thought of as a trivial or peripheral activity, but as central to human thought and culture, to learning, creativity, and intellectual enquiry. It fulfils a major function of language, underpinning the human capacity to adapt: as individuals, as societies, and as a species.

Input, Interaction and Corrective Feedback in L2 Learning	Oxford University Press
Автор: Mackey Alison Издательство: Oxford University Press, 2012	PDF, 288 страниц, 8.64 МБ 7 Оценка:
The question of how interaction and corrective feedback affect second language (L2) learning has increasingly attracted the interest of researchers in recent years. This book describes the processes involved in interaction-driven second language learning and presents a methodological framework for studying them. A substantial amount of research on interaction has been carried out over the past two decades; the author provides a timely, comprehensive, and up-to-date survey of this significant body of work. In particular, she explores the recent growth in research into the role of cognifitve and social factors in evaluating how interaction works. Researchers, research students, and all those working within the field of second language acquisition will find this book an authoritative and valuable resource.
