Pages : 232
Book Description
Motivated by the need to bring together researchers involved in the acquisition, learning and teaching of the Croatian language and foreign languages to learners at lower elementary level, the recurring scientific conferences Children and Languages Today were established in 2001. At the time the Croatian academic community was short of a conference that was dedicated entirely to critical thinking and the exchange of research findings, outcomes and experience in these particular study areas. As it turns out, Children and Languages Today has served as an incentive for other conferences and meetings in Croatia that continue to promote research in the fields of first and second language acquisition of young learners. Children and Languages Today: First and Second Language Literacy Development is the outcome of the conference held in 2017 at the Faculty of Education, University of Osijek. It is a collection of papers by experts on a wide range of topics that include developing literacy in teaching first and second languages and encompassing different fields of science and expertise, such as children's literature, bilingualism, metaphor usage, translation, vocabulary, narrative and orthography. This book hopes to shed light on and open up an array of questions in the area of literacy development.

Book Description
Alice in Wonderland / Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie The timeless classic "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll has captivated audiences worldwide for over 100 years. It tells the story of a girl, Alice, who falls into a rabbit hole and enters a strange parallel universe, where nothing is as it seems... This Dual Language Book This version of the story has been accommodated for learners of Italian. We have aligned the original English version of the story side-by-side with the original Italian translation, "Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie" by T. Pietrocola-Rosetti. This book is paragraph aligned. The English version is printed on the left half of the page, and the Italian version on the right half of the page. This will allow you to get the reading practice you need in Italian and quickly get answers when you can't seem to figure out the corresponding word or phrase.. Because the English and Italian text are next to each other, you will save a lot of time and frustration by not having to reach for the dictionary to look up the translation of a word. As a result, you'll have a smoother reading experience. "Alice nel Paese delle Mareviglie" is about 27.000 words long. The story is written out of just 2270 different lemma ́s (a lemma is the dictionary form of a word), making it a great book for beginner to intermediate language learners. To further aid you with learning Italian, we added two Italian to English dictionaries in the back of the book, made specifically for this story. Frequency Dictionary One dictionary is based on word frequency. We analyzed the Italian version and listed all the words by how often they are used. Study the most common words, and see how far you can come without resorting to the translation. You can also find an alphabetical learner ́s dictionary in the back, which is helpful for looking up the meaning of a word rather than relying on how it's translated in context. Alphabetical Dictionary If you encounter a Italian word you don ́t know, and you can't deduce it's meaning through context or require extra clarification, flip towards the back of the book where you can look it up alphabetically. Plus, you may find yourself wondering: What is the correct pronunciation of this word in Italian? That is why we included IPA phonetic transcriptions of Italian words in our alphabetical dictionary. Bilingual Books A tried and tested method, bilingual books, also known as parallel text books or dual language books, have been used to help language learners just like you for hundreds of years. There are several benefits to be gained by reading bilingual books. In short: You will naturally broaden your vocabulary by learning from context. Your overall language skills will improve: you will become a better reader, writer, listener, and speaker. You will be more motivated to read. With the translation nearby, reading foreign text becomes much easier when you don't have to waste time to look up unknown words. You can read anytime, anywhere, and on your own schedule. You can learn a lot from reading books in your target language. You can benefit from a book's message and equally from its language. In other words, a book can improve your way of life and your language learning at the same time. By sitting down and reading, you're going to get yourself farther, faster.
