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.

Channel View Publications Ltd English - A Changing Medium for Education
Book SynopsisIn this volume a range of authors from different international contexts argue that the notion of communicative competence in English, hitherto largely referenced to metropolitan native-speaker norms, has to be expanded to take account of diverse contexts of use for a variety of purposes. It also discusses the popular belief that language and literacy should simply be regarded as a technical 'skill' which confers universal benefits and that it should be replaced with a social practice view that recognises situated variations and diversity. This volume, we believe, provides a reference point for extended research and practice in these areas that will be of interest to wide range of people engaged in language and literacy education.Trade ReviewCurrent views of languages and literacies as situated social practices call for reconfigured language policies and instructional practices. This volume brings together the work of leading scholars to provide the foundational theoretical background that establishes that languages and literacies are shifting, evanescent, responsive to context and politically and economically located. As well, the authors present critical theoretical analyses of historical and contemporary policies in globally diverse areas and imagine how social practice views might provide enhanced access to communication for those historically denied such access. Critical and constructive, lively and engaging, the book will be of wide interest to scholars and graduate students and will be essential in the developing scholarship on social practice-oriented conceptualizations of languages and literacies. -- Kelleen Toohey, Simon Fraser University, CanadaThis welcome and elegant collection challenges the conception of languages as stable and reified entities. Interrogating what English is, the notion of communicative competence and the way it falls short in English teaching pedagogies, contributors argue convincingly for a view of language as social practice and outline inspiring examples of the pedagogical implications of this view of language. -- Catherine Kell, University of the Western Cape, South AfricaThis book can be regarded as a timely addition to the emerging literature on language and literacy education. This excellent volume will be of great value, not only to researchers and students of language education, but also to language policy-makers and teaching professionals in schools or universities. -- Zhang Kun, University of Hong Kong * LINGUIST List, 24.625, 2013 *Table of ContentsPreface Chapter 1 – Constant Leung & Brian Street: Introduction: English in the Curriculum – Norms and Practices Chapter 2 - Mastin Prinsloo: What Counts as English?
