Translation As Text (Translation Studies 1)

Translation as Text is the direct successor of the volume Text and Translation, published as Uebersetzungswissenschaftliche Beitraege 8 in 1985.


Positive response to the original monograph and its successful use as a reference in advanced translation classes in Germany and other countries encouraged us to extensively revise the volume and add new material. We have attempted to clarify the theoretical position and methodological assumptions that were implicit in the earlier version.


A new first chapter places the volume in the context of the variety of modern approaches to translation. The monograph describes translation studies as the empirical study of the relationships among translator, the process of translation, and the text.

Being a multifaceted and multidisciplinary topic, technology-enhanced learning is considered from four different viewpoints, each of which constitutes a separate part in the book. Parts include general as well as domain-specific principles of learning that have been found to play a significant role in technology-enhanced environments, ways to shape the environment to optimize learners’ interactions and learning, and specific technologies used by the environment to empower learners.


A postface part is included to discuss the work presented in the preceding parts from a computer science and an implementation perspective. This chapter introduces the origin of the work presented in this book and gives an overview of each of the parts.

Social Context and Fluency in L2 Learners The Case of Wales (New Perspectives on Language and Education Series)

Social context, an often-neglected dimension in L2 learning/use, can play a vital role in sustaining learners' initial motivation.


Using data on Welsh learners' experiences outside the classroom, the author argues that, to learn a foreign language, learners require regular interaction in the target language in a setting where they are comfortable.

Social Actions for Classroom Language Learning (New Perspectives on Language and Education Series)

The research in this book refl ects a convergence of two long-standing interests of mine: language learning and the organization of social interaction. Classrooms represent a unique opportunity to see the intersection of these two interests.


The technological capacities of the corpus of data I’ve had to work with (the Multimedia Adult English Learner Corpus, Reder, 2005) allow for focused investigations of learner–learner interaction in and around language learning tasks. This corpus of classroom video recorded interaction that includes six camera views of each classroom is allow researchers and practitioners new insights into what learning looks like in the classroom.

Psychology of Education Major Themes Vol III The school curriculum by Peter K Smith

It is easy to regard the school as a venue for learning, in the cognitive sense, and to forget that pupils are also learning a great deal about social life, social interactions and friendships, in school time.
 
 
 
Indeed school will provide the major source of these experiences for most children, and this volume is devoted to these issues, and to aspects of differences between children (sex, ethnicity) which impact on these. The readings chosen are summarised in the series introduction. Here, we mention specific alternative works, books or book chapters, which can usefully supplement or update the readings chosen here.

Online Learning and Teaching in Higher Education

There are many books about e-learning and online learning, so why did the authors decide to write another one? What makes this book different is its synthesis of online leaning and an attempt to locate online learning alongside the wider evolution of higher education policy and practice.


It is our view that online learning cannot be seen in isolation from these wider important transitions. This book seeks to locate online learning and its arrival in the wider context of what is happening in higher education and practice. It deals with the entanglement of online learning and technological change with other major social changes and already-existing important developments in learning theory

On Teaching Foreign Languages Linking Theory to Practice Contemporary Language Education

This book addresses a number of salient issues related to foreign language (FL) teaching, learning, and acquisition. Its ultimate goal is to help prospective FL teachers understand the theories and practices in FL education while making such connection more accessible.
 
 
 
The selection of topics has been made considering primarily their relevance in the learning-acquisition process of second language (L2) learners and the challenge they pose to beginning FL teachers and interns (student-teachers).
 
 
 
This book is the result of a year-long research project conducted during 1999–2000 at East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina, in collaboration with four experienced FL high school teachers from the same region. This project was funded by the Schools’ Partnership Grant and the BellSouth Foundation.
 
 
 
The main contribution of this book to the FL profession is the integration of the theoretical and practical planes. Both the knowledge of researchers and the voices of experienced FL teachers are brought together. This link aims at helping ease the tension that beginning teachers and interns experience when they move from the FL methods course into the real FL classroom. This connection, in turn, will provide FL interns with a realistic view of FL education.

On Language Change The Invisible Hand in Language by Rudi Keller

The two paradigms which have dominated the field of linguistics in the twentieth century--those of Saussure and Chomsky--have both left aside the subject of language change as an unsolvable mystery which defied theoretical mastery entirely.
 
 
 
 
Rudi Keller, in On Language Change, reassesses language change and places it firmly back on the linguistics agenda. Drawing from ideas of eighteenth-century thinkers such as Mandeville, Smith and Menger, he demonstrates that language change can indeed be explained through the workings of an ``invisible hand.''

Literally the Best Language Book Ever Annoying Words and Abused Phrases You Should Never Use Again

A wry and engaging look at trite, trendy, grammatically incorrect, inane, outdated, and lazy uses of words, phrases, and expressions.
 
 
 
By turns gleefully precise and happily contrarian, this is a highly opinionated guide to better communication. In Literally, the Best Language Book Ever, author Paul Yeager attacks with a linguistic scalpel the illogical expressions and misappropriated meanings that are so commonplace and annoying in everyday conversation. Identifying hundreds of common language miscues, Yeager provides an astute look at the world of words and how we abuse them every day.
 
 
 
For the grammar snobs looking for any port in a storm of subpar syntax, or the self-confessed rubes seeking a helping hand, this witty guide can transform even the least literate into the epitome of eloquence.

Language Testing The Social Dimension by Tim McNamara and Carsten Roever

Tim McNamara and Carsten Roever’s “Language Testing: The Social Dimension” is the fifth volume in the Language Learning Monograph Series.
 
 
 
The volumes in this series review recent findings and current theoretical positions, present new data and interpretations, and sketch interdisciplinary research programs. Volumes are authoritative statements by scholars who have led in the development of a particular line of interdisciplinary research and are intended to serve as a benchmark for interdisciplinary research in the years to come. 
 
 
 
The importance of broad interdisciplinary work in applied linguistics is clear in the present volume. McNamara and Roever survey the work that language testers have done to establish internal equity in assessment, and they describe the consequences of language testing in society as a whole and in the lives of individuals. Language is rooted in social life and nowhere is this more apparent than in the ways in which knowledge of language is assessed. Studying language tests and their effects involves understanding some of the central issues of the contemporary world.

Knowing What Students Know the Science and Design of Educational Assessment

Educational assessment seeks to determine how well students are learning and is an integral part of the quest for improved education. It provides feedback to students, educators, parents, policy makers, and the public about the effectiveness of educational services.
 
 
 
With the movement over the past two decades toward setting challenging academic standards and measuring students’ progress in meeting those standards, educational assessment is playing a greater role in decision making than ever before.
 
 
 
In turn, education stakeholders are questioning whether current large-scale assessment practices are yielding the most useful kinds of information for informing and improving education. Meanwhile, classroom assessments, which have the potential to enhance instruction and learning, are not being used to their fullest potential.

Improving Human Learning in the Classroom Theories and Teaching Practices by George R Taylor

This second edition provides an updated functional and realistic approach to applying human learning to classroom instruction. This book is written for classroom teachers who may have limited background and experiences in applying theories of educational psychology.
 
 
 
 
Frequently, teachers may be aware of the many theories of learning, but may not be aware of how to transpose those theories into practical classroom application. This book is designed to accomplish such a purpose. Several new chapters in the areas of emotions and motivation have been added, and major revisions have been made in chapters dealing with learning styles, brain-based learning, improving memory, and integrating reading into the content areas.
