Book Description
THIS IS THE TRILINGUAL VERSION OF THE BOOKTHAT INCLUDES: ENGLISH, FRENCH & PORTUGUESE."The mini T-RRIBLE" is a new children's book for children aged 3-6, written and illustrated by Children's Author J.N. PAQUET (who is also the creator of "The Book of The Animals" series). "The mini T-RRIBLE" is the 50 page story of a very special boy called Oliver Bluemoon. What is very special about Oliver is the fact that he is bilingual. One day, a strange little monster, "The T-RRIBLE," knocks at his door and asks him to travel to his planet because only HE can save his people from a gigantic asteroid that is about to destroy everything. Will Oliver succeed? With his new book "The mini T-RRIBLE," children's author J.N. PAQUET, as in his previous children's books, has created yet another very special story which stimulates the children to engage with their own imagination and have an enjoyable reading experience, both with their parents, teacher or educator and on their own. Its educational aim is to drive the bilingual fun-learning and the reading comprehension through an extraordinary story that shows to the children the importance of speaking other languages. Keen to go even further than ever before in promoting bilingualism, literacy and fun-learning, with "The mini T-RRIBLE," J.N. PAQUET has decided to write the story in rhymes, so that it contributes to the children's linguistic awareness and development. Through rhymes and the use of a specifically elaborated vocabulary, it also teaches the children the benefits of making decisions, developing ideas and thinking on their own. The colourful handmade illustrations, all created and painted by the author himself, open the children to his colourful new world where they will, episode after episode, get to meet some funny little creatures, visit their lands and kingdoms, discover their honey trees secret and where, more than anything else, there is no limit to anyone who is bilingual and loves books. The story promotes team working and friendship, among other moral values, and how these values can help avoid unnecessary conflicts. Although it was written for all children aged 3-6, it has a special appeal to the children who, living in bilingual families, sometimes don't want to be bilingual anymore. "The mini T-RRIBLE" shows them that being bilingual is a great asset, it should always be cherished and it will be useful in their future lives. After all, bilingualism is more than speaking two languages. It is also about learning from others: their culture, their life and their differences. Learning from each other is all that is needed to build a better world... right here, on Earth!

Pages : 724
Book Description
Here is an informative introduction to language: its origins in the past, its growth through history, and its present use for communication between peoples.

It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages -- Teutonic, Romance, Greek -- helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a language as it is actually used in everyday life.

First Language Attrition
Author: Monika S. Schmid
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 902727195X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
This volume consists of a collection of papers that focus on structural/grammatical aspects of the process of first language attrition. It presents an overview of current research, methodological issues and important questions regarding first language attrition. In particular, it addresses the two most prominent issues in current L1 attrition research: Can attrition effects impact on features of core syntax, or are they limited to interface phenomena?, and; What is the role of age at onset (pre-/post-puberty) in this regard? By investigating attrition in a variety of settings, from a case study of a Spanish-speaking adoptee in the US to an empirical investigation of more than 50 long-term attriters of Turkish in the Netherlands, the investigations presented take a new perspective on these issues. Originally published in Language, Interaction and Acquisition - Langage, Interaction et Acquisition 2:2 (2011).

Understanding Second Language Acquisition
Author: Lourdes Ortega
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 144411705X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Whether we grow up with one, two, or several languages during our early years of life, many of us will learn a second, foreign, or heritage language in later years. The field of Second language acquisition (SLA, for short) investigates the human capacity to learn additional languages in late childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, after the first language --in the case of monolinguals-- or languages --in the case of bilinguals-- have already been acquired. Understanding Second Language Acquisition offers a wide-encompassing survey of this burgeoning field, its accumulated findings and proposed theories, its developed research paradigms, and its pending questions for the future. The book zooms in and out of universal, individual, and social forces, in each case evaluating the research findings that have been generated across diverse naturalistic and formal contexts for second language acquisition. It assumes no background in SLA and provides helpful chapter-by-chapter summaries and suggestions for further reading. Ideal as a textbook for students of applied linguistics, foreign language education, TESOL, and education, it is also recommended for students of linguistics, developmental psycholinguistics, psychology, and cognitive science. Supporting resources for tutors are available free at www.routledge.com/ortega.
