Pavilion Publishing and Media Ltd Successful International Communication
Book SynopsisHave you ever felt frustrated talking to someone? Have you ever been puzzled by the way someone communicates, or struggled to understand what people really mean? Communication issues can be amplified when communicating internationally with people who have different norms and practices to our own, thereby causing issues to escalate if they are left unresolved. Successful International Communication is for anyone who communicates across cultures, whether it be for social purposes, or for work, where you might be using English to play your part in an international team. Perhaps you are communicating virtually or maybe you are a globe-trotter. Or you might be a language teacher or communications trainer looking to help your learners become more reflective and effective international communicators. Both theoretical and practical, this book is filled with easy-to-relate-to anecdotes and discussions on the use of English as a global language and the key issues of intercultural communication, as well as exploring different interpersonal skills such as relationship building and conflict management skills. Throughout the book, there are a number of critical incidents, discussion questions and other such tasks for you (as the reader) to complete, which in the process, encourage you to reflect on your own opinions, thoughts, experiences, and possible prejudices, whilst promoting self-awareness. The book is also packed full of useful tip sections summarising key points from the practical units as a reminder of the steps to follow for successful international communication.Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: English as a lingua franca Chapter 2: Intercultural awareness Chapter 3: Building relationships Chapter 4: Collaboration and teamwork Chapter 5: Getting the right message Chapter 6: Listening actively Chapter 7: Leadership Chapter 8: Influencing Chapter 9: Conflict management Chapter 10: Communicating beyond words Conclusion

Springer Verlag, Singapore Conferencing and Presentation English for Young
Book SynopsisThis book discusses and demonstrates the types of English discourse used at academic conferences and offers guidance to prospective conference participants from multiple perspectives. It is a combination of research taken from numerous academic conferences attended and observations made by the author, based on well-established research methods in applied linguistics, as well as a guidebook aimed at students, ESP teachers, and young academics and professionals wishing to upgrade their skills to participate fruitfully in, and contribute to, academic conferences. It offers academic novices and non-native speakers of English in particular much that is new and practical, far beyond the realm of simple ‘presentation tips’. It addresses various topics, such as chairing discussions, poster management, discussion sessions, the TED phenomenon, workshops, and the emerging field of English as a lingua franca. The style alternates between the accessible and practical, and the analysis of the linguistic categories underpinning the discourse: genre analysis, the nature of the specialist discourse community, features of academic spoken discourse, and the presentation as multimodal narrative are all explored. The book includes authentic samples of model speech discourse throughout, along with questions and exercises for deliberation or practice in each chapter.Table of Contents1 Introduction.- Part 1 The external framework of academic conferences.- 2 An 'Age of conferencing'.- 3 The TED factor.- 4 Affective factors influencing conference presentation performance.- 5 'Native' vs non-native English speakers (NES/NNES) and English as a lingua franca (ELF) at Academic Conferences.- 6 Implications of ELF for ESP/EAP teachers, learners, and international academic conference discourse.- Part 2 The conference and the structure of its core speech events.- 7 The academic functions of conference discourse.- 8 Genre and mode in the discourse community.- 9 Engagement and narrative.- Part 3 Academic conference discourse: The research background.- 10 Investigation process and research focus.- 11 Social and environmental factors.- Part 4 Practical ideas and suggestions for effective conference performance.- 12 Academic tenor and formulaic academic phrases.- 13 Conference presentation introductions and openings.- 14 The management of conference presentation outline slides.- 15 Effective conference presentation summaries, conclusions, and closings.- 16 Transition phrases in the conference presentation.- 17 Managing discussion sessions (Q&A).- 18 Intonation, visuals, text, and narrative.- 19 Managing conference presentation and discussion session breakdown (Repair).- Part 5 Academic conference agnates and extra-textual considerations.- 20 Poster sessions.- 21 Symposia, colloquia, and workshops.- 22 The attendee as a conference participant.- 23 Chairing discourse.- 24 The academic conference social dimension.- Part 6 Practical preparations for the conference presentation.- 25 Final-stage tips.

Taylor & Francis Translating Tourism
Book SynopsisThis engaging textbook provides an in-depth examination of tourist discourse and communication and a guide to how to translate tourism texts.Through analysis of the linguistic, intercultural, and socially inclusive aspects of tourist communication, this volume covers both conventional and digital forms of tourist texts and explores the unique attributes of tourist discourse, including its lexical, syntactic, and textual qualities, and how these affect translation processes. Special emphasis is placed on the translation of digital tourist information, guided tours, and accessible tourism discourse, highlighting the need for a functional and flexible translation methodology. The authors posit that tourist translation transcends simple language transmission, functioning as a mediatory act that necessitates cultural adaptation, knowledge of accessibility, and persuasive methods customised for varied audiences. Synthesising concepts from tourist studies, discourse analysis, and translation studies, this accessible textbook merge theoretical views with practical examples to provide a key resource for researchers, translators, and professionals in translation studies, tourism communication, English language and linguistics.

Garnet Publishing English for Psychology Course Book + CDs
Book SynopsisSince Napoleon''s invasion of Egypt in 1798, the western traveller has been obsessed with the Pharaohs and Egypt''s ancient past. Her Islamic culture has been largely ignored, and the pyramids have been allowed to cast a long shadow over the visual culture of Islamic Cairo, obscuring a magnificent art and architectural heritage that has lasted over a thousand years, from the building of the Mosque of Amr in the seventh century to that of Muhammad Ali in the nineteenth. Cairo is full of masterpieces of medieval art and architecture reflecting the status of Egypt as the centre of several significant Muslim empires. The purpose of this book is to redress the cultural balance and examine the art and architectural treasures of Cairo from the Arab to the Ottoman conquests (642-1517). Set within an historical narrative, the stylistic development of the visual arts is explained within changing religious, social and political contexts. Examples of the decorative arts - ceramics, glass, woodwork, metalwork, textiles and manuscripts - are examined in the Museum of Islamic Art, Cairo, and other major collections in Europe and the USA.Architecture and the decorative arts are dealt with separately with detailed descriptions, illustrating how the story of Islamic art and architecture is one of continuing adaptation and change. By concentrating on Cairo''s Islamic art and architecture, Yeomans has created a study of Islamic style which is unprecedented in its historical scope. Fully illustrated with over 200 vivid photographs, plans and elevations and a comprehensive glossary of architectural terms, this book will be essential reading for architects, designers and historians; indeed, for anyone with an appreciation of one of the world''s finest and richest architectural legacies, tragically under threat.
