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.

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.

Many of the more specific examples throughout the book are organised into easy to read tables and figures ... It lays down a very good basic overview and could inspire readers either to learn more about this specific linguistic field or to pursue a role as an aviation English trainer. * Babel Magazine *With the teaching and testing of Aviation English undergoing such rapid expansion, this comprehensive and accessible volume will be invaluable to researchers and practitioners alike. It is particularly pleasing to see that the scope of the work extends well beyond the traditional focus on communication between pilots and air traffic controllers. * John Read, Emeritus Professor of Applied Language Studies, University of Auckland, New Zealand *An invaluable contribution to improving the safety of the most global of all businesses. By addressing both linguistics and human factors, this book will enhance teacher training and testing and promote best practices in communication throughout the aviation industry. It also establishes a foundation for continuing research with the potential to heighten awareness of risk factors and enhance future investigations. As the world’s leading aviation educator, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University takes our responsibility to ensure safer skies seriously. English in Global Aviation provides us with a new tool to build proficiency in the international language of civil aviation for pilots, mechanics and air traffic controllers. * P. Barry Butler, President, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, USA *This book explains why and how English became the lingua franca of aviation. It demonstrates through the history of accidents and near-misses, together with research findings, that mastery of phraseology is insufficient for safety of flight. Experts in their area, the writers narrate the story in academic and professional voices, making this an authoritative work on the topic, and keeping the reader interested from cover to cover. * Marjo Mitsutomi, Professor, Department of Foreign Language, Osaka Gakuin University, Japan *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Preface Acknowledgements List of Major Abbreviations Part I: Context 1.
