Book Description
This teaching aid features a substantial number of instructional devices which appear not to have received their due in high school and college classrooms. Its main component: well over a thousand so-called nonsense sentences of the author's own creation listed under 45 headings. Intended for pronunciation practice, these sentences concentrate heavily on a given sound, with many qualifying as humorous tongue twisters. The etc. of the book's title pertains to a miscellany of pedagogical elements and devices. The author has also used the concentrative approach in 5 of the 14 sections that follow the 78-page phonics component. Included here, amongst other things, are motivational themes for a day or week, a variety of items for opening a day's lesson, a lexical minefield whose booby traps are bound to engender laughs, and lists of names of French dogs and cats in justice to the omnipresence of these pets on the French scene.

Expressing Silence
Author: Natsuko Tsujimura
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1498569250
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
In Expressing Silence: Where Language and Culture Meet in Japanese, Natsuko Tsujimura discusses how silence is conceptualized and linguistically represented in Japanese. Languages differ widely in the specific linguistic and rhetorical modes through which vivid depictions of silence are achieved. In Japanese, sounds in nature evoke silence, and onomatopoeia plays an important role in simulating silent scenes. These linguistic mechanisms mediate the perception of the symbiotic relationship between sound and silence, a perception deeply embedded in the Japanese cultural experience. Expressing Silence brings the tools of both linguistic and cultural analysis in examining the remarkably rich array of representations of silence in Japanese language and culture, finding that depictions of silence through language cannot be understood without exploring what sound or silence mean to the speakers.

Book Description
Breaking the Sound Barrier: Teaching Language Leaners How to Listen.To cite use Conti and Smith (2019).This book is for language teachers who want to help their students become more effective listeners. It focuses on the processes involved in aural comprehension, blending the latest research evidence with over 200 engaging listening activities, as well as lots of useful practical classroom ideas and lesson sequences.Chapters include the principles of "listening as modelling", developing phonological and lexical retrieval skills, grammatical parsing, interpersonal and task-based listening. There are also chapters on how to make the most of songs, cognitive and metacognitive strategies, assessment and preparing for examinations. The final chapter offers a framework for language teachers or departments who wish to develop a strategy for improved listening. The book aims to place listening at the forefront of lesson planning.Gianfranco and Steve have around 60 years of classroom experience between them and a track record of offering instantly usable, low-preparation activities for the classroom, supported by second language acquisition research. Their handbook The Language Teacher Toolkit is already widely used around the world. Too often, classroom listening is neglected by teachers and a source of fear for learners; how can we make it a successful and enjoyable experience for all? This book is truly unique in its genre, in proposing a different and more impactful answer to this question. We sincerely hope you enjoy it.
