Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies

Mona Baker “Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies"
Routledge; 1 edition (October 12, 2001) | ISBN:0415255171 | PDF | 680 pages | 3,4 Mb

THE RIGHT PHRASE FOR EVERY SITUATION . . . EVERY TIME
This ground-breaking encyclopedia explores translation studies, currently developing into a serious field of study, with its own vocabulary, theories, and research. Baker (translation studies, Univ. of Manchester Inst. of Science and Technology) has gathered an impressive group of contributors, including Umberto Eco, Theo Mermnas, Luis Kelly, and Judith Woodsworth, to create an encyclopedia that defines this new discipline. The first part, a dictionary section, explains and defines the vocabulary and concepts in signed entries ranging from two to six pages. Entries include cross references and suggestions for further reading. The second section introduces the translation traditions of 31 cultures, including African, Greek, Chinese, Russian, and French. Each of these lengthy entries includes a history of translation in the culture, theories at work, biographies, and further reading. The complexity of communication, the direction of the academic discipline, and the richness of translation activity are all clearly illustrated.

English L2 Reading: Getting to the Bottom

Barbara M. Birch “English L2 Reading: Getting to the Bottom"
Lawrence Erlbaum 2002-06-01 ISBN: 0805838996 PDF 216 pages 9,7 Mb

This book is a comprehensive, myth-debunking examination of how L1 features (orthographic system, phonology, morphology) can influence English L2 reading at the "bottom" of the reading process. It provides a thorough but very accessible linguistic/psycholinguistic examination of the lowest levels of the reading process. It is both theoretical and practical.

Although the methodologies and approaches taken in most ESL/EFL texts about reading are top-down (cognition driven), and pay scant attention to the bottom of the reading process, those detailed in this book are language driven. The goal is to balance or supplement (not replace) top-down approaches and methodologies with effective low-level options for teaching English reading. Core linguistic and psycholinguistic concepts are presented within the context of their application to teaching.

English L2 Reading: Getting to the Bottom clearly explains the strategies that readers of other languages develop in response to their own writing systems (Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, other alphabets, or transparent Roman alphabetic systems) contrasted with an explanation of the strategies that English readers develop in response to the opaque orthography of English, and explicates how other low-level processing strategies for L1 morphology and word formation may aid or hinder processing in English L2 reading acquisition.

A complete, balanced reading ideology should be big enough to embrace all reading theories and practices. In particular, it should be able to accommodate those researchers and teachers who find that attention to the details of language can also help students learn to read better. Many ESL/EFL teachers are interested in supplementing their successful whole-language methods with bottom-up reading strategies, but aren't sure how to do it. This book fills that gap.

Intended for ESL/EFL reading researchers, teacher trainers and teachers, and as a text for MATESOL students, most chapters contain practical suggestions that teachers can incorporate into whole language methods to teach beginning or intermediate ESL/EFL reading (letters, pronunciation, "smart" phonics, morphemes, and vocabulary acquisition) in a more balanced way. Pre-reading discussion and study questions are provided to stimulate interest and enhance comprehension. End-of-chapter exercises help readers apply the concepts.

Grammar for Everyone: Practical Tools for Learning and Teaching Grammar

Grammar for Everyone: Practical Tools for Learning and Teaching Grammar
Publisher: Australian Council for Educational Research | 2007-12-19 | 224 pages | ISBN: 0864314787 | 1.3 MB

Our national language, and the culture from which it has formed, is the rightful inheritance of all English-speaking people. It deserves to be taught with knowledge and respect. English is now spoken, also, by more than 500 million people around the world. They need the opportunity to learn to speak and write it confidently, and correctly. Grammar provides a language to talk about language. As a mechanic needs naming words for the parts of an engine, so a student needs naming words for the components of speech and writing. This practical book provides all who learn or teach Grammar with these skills in a clear step-by-step process. It provides teachers with an armoury of learning strategies to use at all levels. Grammar should be fun to teach and fun to learn.

1001 Best Things Ever Said about Work (and the Workplace)

Ernie J. Zelinski “1001 Best Things Ever Said about Work (and the Workplace)"
Vipbooks | 2008 | PDF | 220 pages | 3,5 Mb

"It is a good thing for an educated man," declared Winston Churchill, "to read books of quotations." Anatole France advised, "When a thing has been said and said well, have no scruple. Take it and copy it." Not to be outdone, George Bernard Shaw once remarked, "I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversations."
No doubt few things spice up an article, a book, a conversation, or a speech more than a well-chosen quotation. Given that work is one of the most written and talked about subjects in Western society, there should be a book of great quotations about work and the workplace. I have put together such a book!

Organized into over 125 categories for easy reference, 1001 Best Things Ever Said about Work (and the Workplace) is the ultimate guide about work for the professional speaker, journalist, author, career advisor, life coach, and connoisseur of great quotations. It also makes great reading for just about everyone.

1001 Best Things Ever Said about Work (and the Workplace) has it all: Wisdom. Ridicule. Irony. Sarcasm. Paradox. Nonsense. Comedy. Mockery. Social commentary. Valuable insight.

All told, this E-book contains the 1001 best things ever said about work and the workplace.
