Georgetown University Press Teaching and Learning Arabic as a Foreign
Book SynopsisThis guide clearly and succinctly presents the basic tenets of teaching foreign languages specifically for Arabic teachers. Consolidating findings from second language acquisition (SLA) research and applied linguistics, it covers designing curricula, theory and methods, goals, testing, and research, and intersperses practical information with background literature in order to help teachers improve their teaching of Arabic as a foreign language (TAFL). Karin C. Ryding, a well-regarded scholar of Arabic linguistics and former president of the American Association of Teachers of Arabic, frames the discussion with SLA literature and suggests practical and effective ways of helping students learn. Ryding discusses issues at the core of Arabic teaching effectiveness and the achievement of communicative competence, such as the teaching of pronunciation, speaking, reading, listening, and writing; teaching mixed-level classes; creative classroom organization; corrective feedback; and use of activities and exercises, with plenty of examples from Arabic and tips for teachers. She also covers materials development and proficiency testing, providing study questions and recommended readings for each chapter. This guide, which can be used as a textbook, is the first of its kind aimed specifically at TAFL, and should be of interest to Arabic instructors-in-training, academics, graduate students, linguists, department chairs, language coordinators, and teacher trainers. It also serves as a resource for teachers of other less commonly taught languages (LCTLs), who struggle with similar issues.Table of ContentsTable of ContentsForewordRoger Allen Introduction Part I: Fundamentals of Foreign Language Pedagogy1.

Onomatopee Echoing Exhibition Views: Subjectivity in
Book SynopsisEdited by A. R. practice (Ann Richter & Agnieszka Roguski), Introduction by A. R. practice (Ann Richter & Agnieszka Roguski), Texts by Melanie Bühler, Erika Landström, Agnieszka RoguskiWhen the exhibition enters the digital realm, as it is increasingly happening now when the display of art and culture can be enjoyed individually behind screens, then how does the exhibition view diffuse optically, technically, and culturally? And how does this transformation echo the new understanding of subjectivity? Echoing Exhibition Views. Subjectivity in Post-Digital Times explores the different medialities and intersubjective shifts that follow the moment of seeing a physical exhibition today. It takes the digitized exhibition view as starting point for artistic and theoretic reflections on post-digital culture, hyperreality and its relation to subjectivity. Focusing on the transformative potential of the exhibition as circulating view, this publication asks how it transfers again into a subjective mode of perspective through the artistic lens. So what is at stake when an exhibition circulates as a digital view? And how does its digital presence in turn affect and transform the subjective experience of seeing a physical exhibition?With images from João Enxuto & Erica Love, Calla Henkel & Max Pitegoff, New Noveta/Yair Oelbaum, SANY, Hanna Stiegeler, Jasmin Werner, and Jonas Paul Wilisch, as well as texts by Melanie Bühler, Erika Landström, and Agnieszka Roguski, this publication gathers artists, curators, and writers who frame these questions through a variety of practices and media. It thus addresses a self-reflexive and critical approach on medium and formatunderstanding the exhibition as a fluid and diverse view. How is our view on exhibitions influenced by their digital re-/presentation on the internet? How can art affect the normalized, circulating installation views in a creative wayand articulate a subjective view in this way? And how, above all, do seemingly objective standards and subjectivity affect each other?The publication Echoing Exhibition Views. Subjectivity in Post-Digital Times focuses on the subjectivity of the supposedly objective exhibition documentation. It is about how artists realize a kind of subjective view when they are presenting an exhibitionin terms of performative, spatial, visual or technological aspectsand how that view can broaden, reflect or criticize the standardized claim of exhibition views. For Echoing Exhibition Views. Subjectivity in Post-Digital Times, a total of seven international artistic positions articulate their personal interpretation of the installation view'. Most important is their disciplinary versatility, which provides a multifaceted and complex approach to the topic. Artistic photography, illustration, conceptual art and performance art together respond to the apparent objectivity emanating from exhibition documentation and the photographic installation view. The medium of display always shapes the work, therefore the form of the book becomes the venue for a visual tension between specification and ambiguity. To underline the modification as a productive act, A. R. practice interfered with book production standards and used a special RGB-three-color printing technique instead of CMYK. RGB (red green blue) is the digital color range and refers to the online format. However, it will evoke experimental effects for this analogue format. The guiding principle is the idea of transformation through various media and formats. Thus, the featured artists represent a practice in which various media and spaces are crossed; from the virtual exhibition on the internet to the actual exhibition space to the photographic image from the exhibition. All works become independent exhibition practices and works of art. TABLE OF CONTENTEditorial (A.

McGill-Queen's University Press From Big Bang to Big Data
Book SynopsisBeyond newspapers, television, and social networks, media are the means by which any information is shared, from antique graffiti to playlists on Spotify. Cultures are held together as much by bookkeeping and records as they are by stories and myths. From Big Bang to Big Data shows how every society has been a media society, in its own way.Trade Review“The big-history approach to media we’ve been missing. Cosmopolitan in intellectual outlook and integrated in argument, From Big Bang to Big Data moves along briskly. Any curious reader will enjoy this book, while the clued-in scholarly reader will spot sentences and paragraphs that index whole traditions of complex argument.” John Durham Peters, co-author of Promiscuous Knowledge: Information, Image, and Other Truth Games in History“This book is big, not just in size but in scope. How else might one characterize a book that opens with the beginning of time and then impressively winds its way through Arabia, China, and medieval Europe to finish with a chapter on digital media and big data? ... the book’s focus is somewhat unique to media history texts in that it focuses not on chronology but on implications, i.e., the transformations that have shaped society and people's acquisition of meaning from whatever platform a media producer chooses. The book makes readers think and is also richly illustrated to help guide such thoughts. Media theorist Neil Postman once said that 'for every advantage a new technology offers, there is always a corresponding disadvantage.' This book reinforces that theory. Highly recommended." Choice

University of South Carolina Press The Interruption That We Are: The Health of the
Book SynopsisIn this provocative and interdisciplinary work, Michael J. Hyde develops a philosophy of communication ethics in which the practice of rhetoric plays a fundamental role in promoting and maintaining the health of our personal and communal existence. He examines how the force of interruption—the universal human capacity to challenge our complacent understanding of existence—is a catalyst for moral reflection and moral behavior.Hyde begins by reviewing the role of interruption in the history of the West, from the Big Bang to biblical figures to classical Greek and contemporary philosophers and rhetoricians to three modern thinkers: Søren Kierkegaard, Martin Heidegger, and Emmanuel Levinas. These thinkers demonstrate in various ways that interruption is not simply a heuristic tool, but constitutive of being human. After developing a critical assessment of these thinkers, Hyde offers four case studies in public moral argument that illustrate the applicability of his findings regarding our interruptive nature. These studies feature a patient suffering from heart disease, a disability rights activist defending her personhood, a young woman dying from brain cancer who must justify her decision, against staunch opposition, to opt for medical aid in dying, and the benefits and burdens of what is termed our “posthuman future” with its accelerating achievements in medical science and technology. These improvements are changing the nature of the interruption that we are, yet the wisdom of such progress has yet to be determined. Much more public moral argument is required.Hyde’s philosophy of communication ethics not only calls for the cultivation of wisdom but also promotes the fight for truth, which is essential to the livelihood of democracy.

University of South Carolina Press The Democratic Ethos: Authenticity and
Book SynopsisWhat did Occupy Wall Street accomplish? While it began as a startling disruption in politics as usual, in The Democratic Ethos Freya Thimsen argues that the movement's long-term importance rests in how its commitment to radical democratic self-organization has been adopted within more conventional forms of politics. Occupy changed what counts as credible democratic coordination and how democracy is performed, as demonstrated in opposition to corporate political influence, rural antifracking activism, and political campaigns.By comparing instances of progressive politics that demonstrate the democratic ethos developed and promoted by Occupy and those that do not, Thimsen illustrates how radical and conventional rhetorical strategies can be brought together to seek democratic change. Combining insights from rhetorical studies, performance studies, political theory, and sociology, The Democratic Ethos offers a set of conceptual tools for analyzing anticorporate democracy-movement politics in the twenty-first century.

Equinox Publishing Ltd The Mother of All Tableaux: Order, Equivalence,
Book SynopsisAn Optimality Theoretic grammar arises from the comparison of candidates over a set of constraints, oriented toward obtaining certain of those candidates as optimal. The typology of a specified system collects its grammars, encompassing all total domination orders among the posited constraints. Considerable progress has been made in understanding the internal structure of Optimality Theoretic grammars but, in this book, we move up a level from grammar to typology, probing the structure that emerges from the most basic commitments of the theory. Comparison is once again central: a constraint viewed at the typological level rates entire grammars against each other. From this perspective, the constraint goes beyond its familiar role as an engine of comparison based on quantitative penalties and instead takes the form of a more abstract order and equivalence structure. This “Equivalence-augmented Privileged Order” (EPO) can be presented as a kind of enriched Hasse diagram. The collection of the EPOs, one for each constraint, forms the MOAT, the “Mother of All Tableaux”. The EPOs of a typology’s unique MOAT are respected in every violation tableau associated with it. With the MOAT concept in place, it becomes possible to understand exactly which sets of disjoint grammars constitute valid typologies. This finding provides the conditions under which grammars of a given typology can merge to produce another, simpler typology and thereby abstract away informatively from various differences between them. Geometrically, the MOAT concept enables us to show, following the insights of Jason Riggle, that the grammars of a typology neatly partition its representation on the permutohedron into connected, spherically convex regions. Discussion proceeds along both concrete and abstract lines, facilitating access for readers across a wide range of interests.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Overview 2. The EST Typology 3.

Book SynopsisThere are ten units in the Student''s Book. Each unit is divided into five sections (A-E), with a Vocabulary insight page and a Review. After every two units, there is a Cumulative review. At the back of the book, there is a ten-page Vocabulary bank. Lesson A: Reading and vocabulary Every unit begins with a Reading and Vocabulary lesson which introduces the topic of the unit in an information-rich text. The reading text also contextualizes two vocabulary sets which are recycled through the rest of the unit. One of these is a Vocabulary insight ( V insight) set which explores language in greater depth. These lessons always begin with a speaking task which gets students thinking about the topic of the unit and expressing their own ideas. At the end of the lessonanother speaking task allows students to react to the text and demonstrate their understanding of the issues raised.

The guided discovery approach to grammar ensures that students actively engage with the new language.Students analyse examples, complete rules or answer questions about the grammar which helps them to focus on the new structures, their meaning and use.A final speaking activity allows students to use the new language in a personalized and productive way.Lesson C: Listening, speaking and vocabularyLesson C offers students opportunities to practise the grammar and vocabulary from the previous sections.Listening activities contexualise a new vocabulary set which is recycled through the rest of the unit. Students are encouraged to react to the topic of the listening and exchange ideas and opinions.This lesson also presents functional language through several model dialogues, as well as controlled and free practice.Lesson D: Culture, vocabulary and grammarLesson D introduces students to the culture of the English-speaking world through a text on the customs, traditions and history of English-speaking countries.There is always a cultural comparison element, which encourages students to think about similarities and differences with their own culture.Lesson E: WritingSection E presents a model text which students analyse for the language, structure and format used.There is always a writing strategy box on these pages which develops key elements of the writing process, for example, planning, brainstorming, deciding on register, etc. These pages also include a step-by-step writing guide which takes students through the process of generating ideas, planning, writing and checking their work.The writing task lets students use the language taught throughout the unit in a personalized, productive and creative way.Vocabulary insightThis page raises awareness of how language works by developing a deeper understanding of a language point introduced earlier in the unit.There are also activities which build students' study skills, including ways of recording vocabulary, using a dictionary or a thesaurus.Through a series of strategies students learn how to use reference sources that can help them with their learning now and in their future life.ReviewThe review gives students another opportunity to recycle and check how well they know the vocabulary and grammar they have learned in the unit.Students get marks for every completed review, so it is easy to monitor progress through the book.Cumulative reviewThere is a two-page cumulative review at the end of every two units.
