Multilingual Matters English as a Lingua Franca for EFL Contexts
Book SynopsisThis book explores the interfaces of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy. It presents the theoretical aspects of ELF, discusses issues and challenges that ELF raises for the EFL classroom, and demonstrates how EFL practitioners can make use of ELF theorizing for classroom instruction, teacher education, developing language learning materials, policymaking and testing and assessment. Accounts of innovative and practical pedagogical practices and researchers’ insights from diverse geographical, cultural and institutional contexts will inform and inspire EFL practitioners to reconsider their practices and adopt new techniques in order to meet their learners’ diverse communicative needs in international contexts.Trade ReviewELF has both enriched and problematized aspects of ELT. The discussions in this expertly edited volume provide an ELF perspective on key aspects of ELT principles and practice. This is an invaluable professional development resource for English Language teachers and teacher educators working in different world locations. Highly recommended. * Constant Leung, King's College London, UK *With a broad range of theoretical discussions and practical suggestions, this book provides an excellent and accessible introduction to how studies of English as a Lingua Franca are not only relevant to – but essential for – English language teaching. The volume moves us away from a dependency on native-speaker norms and provides alternatives that can be considered and adapted by teachers to suit their own contexts and needs. * Ahmar Mahboob, The University of Sydney, Australia *[This book] constitutes an invaluable source of ideas for practicing EFL teachers at any level who wish to go a step further in their approach to English in their classrooms in my opinion. Furthermore, its critical, practical, innovative and social constructivist perspective make it an effective tool to open the reader’s mind. In short, English as a Lingua Franca for EFL Contexts is a book that is worth the attention of anyone involved in the teaching of English as a foreign language. -- Sara García Cuevas, Centro Universitario Cardenal Cisneros, Spain * Pulso, 42, 2019 *...the arguments put forward in this highly recommended book are convincing ones. The real-life communication needs of non-native users of English has led to our re-thinking of teaching approaches. -- David Rixham EFL teacher, White Rose Language School, Spain * IATEFL Voices 273, March/April 2020 *Table of ContentsList of abbreviations Authors’ Bios Chapter 1.

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.

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

Mike Murach & Associates Inc. Tested Writing Methods
Book SynopsisThis book takes a top-down approach to writing that will teach you all the writing methods that you need for success on the job. What''s hard to believe is that most of these methods aren''t taught in high school or in college or in other books on writing.In chapters 1 and 2, for example, you''ll learn how to use headings and subheadings to guide your readers and plan what you''re going to write. That''s a critical skill for any document of two pages or more, but you won''t find anything about headings in most writing books.In chapter 3, you''ll learn how to write paragraphs that deliver one fully-developed idea at a time. That too is a critical skill because the paragraph is the primary unit of composition. But most writing books have precious little to say about paragraphing.On the other hand, most writing books tell you far more than you need to know about writing sentences. In contrast, chapter 4 of this book uses a unique top-down approach to show you how to write sentences that are easy to read and understand. That way, you can start with the skills that matter the most, and then refine those skills one level at a time.Chapters 5 and 6 continue this top-down approach to writing. So, in chapter 5, you learn how to plan and use visual aids. And in chapter 6, you learn how to write the first draft of a document in record time. and how to edit that first draft into a final draft in a single editorial pass.With those skills in your skillset, you''re ready for chapter 7. It shows you when and how to use writing tools like ChatGPT that are driven byArtificial Intelligence. As you will see, these are powerful new tools, but you need all the other skills in this book to get the most from them.Last, chapters 8, 9, and 10 show you how to use the Microsoft Word features for writers: templates, styles, the outline feature, and the spelling and grammar checker. If you don''t already use these features, you''ll be glad you discovered them. And if you don''t already use Microsoft Word, these chapters will show you why you should.

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.
