Piefke Trading Singapore Memory - What Every Language Teacher Should Know
Book SynopsisMemory: What Every Language Teacher Should KnowHow do we help students remember? If teachers understand how memory works, there is more chance of helping students do well through effective curriculum and lesson planning.This book is an introduction to memory written specifically with language teachers in mind. Taking evidence from the fields of cognitive science and second language acquisition, the authors examine a range of important aspects of memory. These include working memory, phonological memory, long-term memory, cognitive load, implicit and explicit knowledge, prospective memory, metamemory, learning from mistakes, the emotional factors affecting retention and curriculum design with memory in mind.Full references, questions for reflection, and suggestions for further reading and viewing are provided at the end of each of the 16 chapters.The authors apply research evidence to the languages classroom, with suggestions for pedagogy and specific classroom activities.Previous books by the authors are The Language Teacher Toolkit (2016) and Breaking the Sound Barrier: Teaching Language Learners How to Listen (2019)

Brill English Language Education in Rural Contexts: Theory, Research, and Practices
Book SynopsisReaching out into the rural English teaching and learning environment led to compiling these chapters that exemplify the possibilities and achievements of teachers worldwide. Often with overly large classes, isolation, and few resources, English instruction leads to extrinsic success for their students with future educational, professional, and economic outcomes. In other instances, the fruits of teachers’ labor become intrinsic motivators for learners who value learning and critical thinking. English in the international curriculum has perceived value for developing human and social capital, as indicated in these authors’ personal and professional journeys.

Brill Encyclopedia of English Language Arts Education: A Critical Perspective
Book SynopsisHow does English language arts (ELA) education relate to power and privilege in education and in schools? How is ELA education situated historically and culturally, in terms of power and privilege? In what ways are learners, categorically and as individuals, situated as decision-makers in ELA education? Over 50 contributors from different perspectives answer these questions by focussing on a variety of topics and terminology broadly related to the teaching of English language arts and the socio-political-cultural context in which this teaching occurs. This encyclopedia has particular relevance for preservice and practicing ELA teachers, teacher educators, and scholars.Table of ContentsNotes on Contributors Introduction Lisa M.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Teaching Languages with Screen Media
Book SynopsisIn recent years, the expansion of screen media, including film, TV, music videos, and computer games, has inspired new tools for both educators and learners. This book illustrates how screen media can be exploited to support foreign language (L2) teaching and learning.Drawing on a range of theories and approaches from second language acquisition, audio-visual translation, multimodality, and new media and film studies, this book provides both best practices and in-depth research on this interdisciplinary field. Areas of screen media-enhanced learning and teaching are covered across 4 sections: film and broadcast media, in-depth case studies, translation and screen media, and interactive media. With a focus on pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning Spanish, French, German, and English as a Foreign Language, Teaching Languages with Screen Media presents innovative insights in this new interdisciplinary field.Trade ReviewThis book is an updated vision of how screen media can promote foreign language learning. Language students will feel motivated to learn through consuming, analyzing and producing interesting media artifacts that give them extended language learning opportunities beyond the classroom walls. -- M.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Teaching Games and Game Studies in the Literature
Book SynopsisTeaching Games and Game Studies in the Literature Classroom offers practical suggestions for educators looking to incorporate ludic media, ranging from novels to video games and from poems to board games, into their curricula. Across the globe, video games and interactive media have already been granted their own departments at numerous larger institutions and will increasingly fall under the purview of language and literature departments at smaller schools. This volume considers fundamental ways in which literature can be construed as a game and the benefits of such an approach. The contributors outline pedagogical strategies for integrating the study of video games with the study of literature and consider the intersections of identity and ideology as they relate to literature and ludology. They also address the benefits (and liabilities) of making the process of learning itself a game, an approach that is quickly gaining currency and increasing interest. Every chapter is gTrade ReviewMy top one recommendation for scholars teaching at the intersection of literature and games. It strikes the perfect balance between theory and practice, and between well-known classics and new explorations. Whether veteran or apprentice, you will keep returning to this book for inspiration, guidelines or resources. I definitely will. * Michal Mochocki, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Literature, Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland *Teaching Games thoughtfully frames how games and literature have always been in play, particularly for 21st century students. The collection offers meaningful ways to integrate games in humanities classes foregrounding course design, personal reflections, and engaging topics from close reading, ethics, and identity to translation, ludonarratology, even LARP. * Edmond Y. Chang, Assistant Professor of English, Ohio University, USA *If any teacher of literature in higher education has doubts about the value and importance of engaging their classes in the study of games, they should read this book. A stimulating exploration of the sometimes-forgotten centrality of ‘play’ in learning. * Andrew Green, Senior Lecturer in Education, Brunel University London, UK *Table of ContentsList of Figures Introduction: Ludology and Narratology in the Literature Classroom, Tison Pugh (University of Central Florida, USA) and Lynn Ramey (Vanderbilt University, USA) Part I: Theories of the Ludic and Literary Classroom 1.

John Catt Educational Ltd Let Our Children Soar The Complexity and
Book SynopsisThis is a story about English language learners - one in particular - and a reflection on what we, as educators, can do to promote their success.As educators, we''re faced every day with the question of how to teach the thousands - many thousands - of children who arrive in our schools as immigrants and refugees, coming with no English, from cultural backgrounds so different from America''s, often from impoverished households and often from households where education of the kind we know was completely absent.Our work as educators is to help these children start to climb the wall that stands between their past, wherever and however that was lived, and a future in America, where their education will prepare them to take advantage of the same opportunities everyone else here enjoys.This is not an easy job. But it''s one we can''t afford to get wrong. And this is not a small corner in our education system today. The number of English language learners in U.S. sch
