The King's English 3rd Edition (Oxford Language Classics Series)




PDF | 3MB
In this classic reference book the Fowler brothers illustrate by example all the commonly-made blunders of English usage and guide the reader to improved expression and style. If Dickens had owned a copy of The King's English for example, he would not have written ""your great ability and trustfulness;"" he would have recognized the malapropism and realized that the context demanded trustworthiness. Written with the good sense and liveliness that is characteristic of the Fowlers, this work has given generations of students, scholars, and professional writers the solutions to problems of grammar and style. In printsince its publication in 1906, this book is still an essential guide to written English and an ideal companion to Fowler's Modern English Usage.

PDF | 304 pages | 2.98 Mb
Building on current theoretical and practical frameworks for English language assessment and testing, this book presents a comprehensive, up-to-date, relevant picture of English language assessment for students in China (Mainland China, Hong Kongand Taiwan) and for Chinese learners of English around the world. Written by well-recognized international scholars in language testing, it covers the history of tests and testing systems, issues and challenges, and current research in China; both test-designers’ and test-users’ points of view on test development and test validation within a range of political, economical, social, and financial contexts in China; theoretical/conceptual perspectives on the use of the English language assessment at different levels, including societal, university, and schools; and empirical research related specifically to test development, curricular innovation, and test validation.
Given the long history of objective testing and its extensive use in Chinese society, and considering the sheer number of students taking various tests in English in China and elsewhere, an understanding of the impact of English language testing isessential for anyone involved in testing and assessment issues in China and elsewhere in the world. This is a must-read volume for testing and assessment policy makers, curriculum designers, researchers, ESL/EFL materials writers, graduate students, and English language teachers/researchers at all levels.

Teaching English Language Learners Across the Content Areas




200 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB
INTRODUCTION

The audience for Teaching English Language Learners Across
the Content Areas is teachers, supervisors, curriculum specialists,
principals, and superintendents who are working with
English language learners (ELLs) in their classrooms. This
book is the result of our combined experience working with
ELLs: Judie taught elementary and middle school ELLs for
28 years and has been working with teachers of ELLs for the
last 16 years; Debbie worked with high school ELLs for six
years, administered K–12 English language education for over
20 years, and taught at a university for over a decade where
she designed and developed courses for general classroom,
secondary subject-matter, special education, resource, and
English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers, as well as for
administrators who taught English to ELLs. Debbie directs a
professional development, consulting, and support center for
teachers and administrators of ELLs.

Educators are teaching a rapidly growing number of ELLs in
U.S. schools, yet most public school teachers are not trained
to do so. As a result, they are challenged to find effective ways
to ensure that ELLs are actively participating in content area
instruction. This is particularly so because many ELLs receive
limited instruction in ESL.

Specifically, the text addresses:

* action research and how it differs from other forms of research

* the steps involved in developing an action research project

* ways of developing a research focus

* methods of data collection

* approaches to data analysis

* making sense of action research for further classroom action.

Each chapter includes a variety of pedagogical activities:

* Pre-Reading questions ask readers to consider what they already know about the topic
* Reflection Points invite readers to think about/discuss what they have read
* action points ask readers to carry out action-research tasks based on what they have read
* Classroom Voices illustrate aspects of action research from teachers internationally
* Summary Points provide a synopsis of the main points in the chapter

Bringing the 'how-to' and the 'what' together, Doing Action Research in English Language Teaching is the perfect text for BATESOL and MATESOL courses in which action research is the focus or a required component.

5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations: English Language







288 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB
Grace Freedson, Series Editor

An exciting new series of study guides that lets each student design a course of study pitched to his or her individual needs and learning style

Each year, more than one million U.S. high school students take one or more advanced placement (AP) exams, and, according to official projections, that number will continue to rise in the years ahead. That is because AP exams confer important benefits on those who do well on them. High AP scores are indispensable to gaining admission to most elite colleges. They provide students with a competitive edge when competing for grants and scholarships. And they allow students to bypass required university survey courses, saving on skyrocketing tuition fees.

Designed to coincide perfectly with the most current
AP exams, Five Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations guides contain several advanced features that set them above all competitors. Each guide is structured around an ingenious Five-Step Plan. The first step is to develop a study plan, the second builds knowledge, the third and fourth hone test-taking skills and strategies, and the fifth fosters the confidence students need to ace the tests. This flexible study tool is also tailored to three types of students. For the more structured student there is a "Month-by-Month" approach that follows the school year and a "Calendar Countdown" approach that begins with the new year. For students who leave studying to the last minute "Basic Training" covers the basics in just four weeks.

Other outstanding features include:
Sample tests that closely simulate real exams
Review material based on the contents of the most recent tests
Icons highlighting important facts, vocabulary, and frequently-asked questions
Boxed quotes offering advice from students who have aced the exams and from AP teachers and college professors
Websites and links to valuable online test resources, along with author e-mail addresses for students with follow-up questions
Authors who are either AP course instructors or exam developers .

Studies in the History of the English Language IV








PDF | 380 pages | 1,8 mb
Empirical and Analytical Advances in the Study of English Language Change continues the project of initiating and energizing the conversations among historians of the English language fostered by the series of conferences on studying the history ofthe English language (SHEL), begun in 2000 at UCLA. It follows in the footsteps of three high-profile SHEL-based collections of peer-reviewed research papers and point-counterpoint commentaries. In the current volume, the editors invited contributors to reflect upon their approaches and practices in undertaking historical studies, focusing particularly on the methods deployed in selecting and analyzing data. The essays in this volume represent interests in the study of linguistic change in English that range across different periods, genres, and aspects of the language and show different approaches and use of evidence to deal with the subject. They also represent the current state of research in the field and the nature of the debates in which scholars and historians engage as regards the nature of the evidence adduced in the explanation of change and the robustness of heuristics. The editors share a strong interest in examining the evidence that informs and grounds research in their fields at the same time as interrogating the heuristics employed by their colleagues for the histories they present. The contributions to the volume give expression to these interests. Contributors are: Richard Hogg (to whose memory the volume is dedicated), William Labov, Elizabeth Traugott, Rob Fulk, Thomas Cable, Jennifer Tran-Smith, Charles Li, Christina Fitzgerald, David Denison, Christopher Palmer, Don Chapman, Graeme Trousdale, Joan Beal, Connie Eble, Stefan Dollinger and Raymond Hickey.

Standard English: The Widening Debate

Image

PDF | 3 MB


The debates surrounding "Standard English", grammar and correctness are as intense today as ever and extend far beyond an academic context, as shown by the Ebonics controversy in Oakland, California. Standard English: The Widening Debate draws together leading international scholars who place these debates in a historical, social and international context.Standard English traces the notion of "Standard English" from the practices of late 17th century grammarians to the present day and explores the definitions of "Standard English", with particular attention paid to distinctions between spoken and written English. The authors also show how "Standard English" is viewed very differently in the US versus Britain and reveal how it is used as a marker for different forms of social discrimination. An accessible, important work, Standard English is essential to anyone interested in language and discrimination.

Dictionary of Medicine and Biology




| PDF | 20,2 MB
Dictionaries are didactic books used as consultation instruments for self-teaching. They are composed by an ordered set of linguistic units which reflects a double structure, the macrostructure which correspond to the word list and the microstructure that refers to the contents of each lemma. The great value of dictionaries nests in the fact that they establish a standard nomenclature and prevent in that way the appearance of new useless synonyms.
This dictionary contains a total of about 27.500 main English entries, and over of 130.000 translations that should normally sufficiently cover all fields of life sciences. The basic criteria used to accept a word a part of the dictionary during thedevelopment period in order of importance were usage, up-to-dateness, specificity, simplicity and conceptual relationships. The dictionary meets the standards of higher education and covers all main fields of life sciences by setting its primary focus on the vastly developing fields of cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, developmental biology, microbiology, genetics and also the fields of human anatomy, histology, pathology, physiology, zoology and botany.
The fields of ecology, paleontology, systematics, evolution, biostatistics, plant physiology, plant anatomy, plant histology, biometry and lab techniques have been sufficiently covered but in a more general manner. The latest Latin internationalanatomical terminology "Terminologia Anatomica" or "TA" has been fully incorporated and all anatomical entries have been given their international Latin TA synonym. This dictionary will be a valuable and helpful tool for all scientists, teachers, students and generally all those that work within the fields of life sciences.
