Bloomsbury Publishing PLC A Poetry Pedagogy for Teachers
Book SynopsisA Poetry Pedagogy for Teachers generates imaginative encounters with poetry and invites educators to practice a range of poetry exercises in order to inform instructional approaches to reading and writing. Guided by pedagogical principles prompted by their readings of Wallace Stevens' Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird, Maya Pindyck and Ruth Vinz provide critical discussion of prominent literacy practices in secondary classrooms and offer alternative approaches to encountering a text. They do this by way of experimental readings of Wallace Stevens' poem toward a set of thirteen pedagogical principles that anchor a pedagogy of poetic practices. The book also offers invitational exercises, the authors' own engagements with poetry practices, as well as student examples, visual modes of theorizing, and a gathering of relevant resources compiled by two classroom teachers. This is a book for secondary English teachers, teaching artists, English educators, college writing professoTrade ReviewThis book is the antidote to reading a textbook about how to teach poetry. You will come away from reading this book feeling refreshed, energized and ready to re-introduce poetry to not only your students, but to everyone in your life. * Ruth Aman, Lecturer of Initial teacher Education in Secondary English, Brunel University, UK *A Poetry Pedagogy for Teachers is a well-written and inspiring book. It provides creative ideas for empowering students to critically read as well as creatively wander in, write into and make meaning in the world of poetry. The book advances the field of Literature pedagogy and would be an invaluable resource for all Language Arts and Literature teachers. * Suzanne S. Choo, Associate Professor, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore *A Poetry Pedagogy for Teachers is part master class, part treasure trove. It does more than describe a set of practices; it immerses the reader in fresh ways of encountering, inhabiting, and attending to poems, while simultaneously offering ready-to-share mentor texts and prompts for writing. This is a beautiful, necessary book. * Matthew Burgess, Professor, English Department, Brooklyn College, USA *It's great to have a book about teaching poetry that goes beyond exercises and tricks. Poems are great ways of beginning conversations and they are can be used in teaching situations to enable a wide range of artistic interpretation. This book will open doors for many teachers. * Michael Rosen, Professor of Children's Literature, Goldsmiths University of London, UK *Table of ContentsIntroduction: Poems and Provocateurs 1.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Tense and Aspect in Second Language Acquisition
Book SynopsisThis book explores the association of form and meaning in the acquisition of tense and aspect by adult learners of nine target languages. The book provides a survey and synthesis of studies from five perspectives: meaning-oriented approaches, acquisitional sequences, the aspect hypothesis, the discourse hypothesis, and the effect of instruction.Trade Review"The author has done an excellent job in covering with scope and depth of the acquistion of tense and aspect in second language learning and can be said to have achieved the three goals identified at the beginning of the book, namely surveying the field, explicating methodological issues, and providing a synthesis." Applied Linguistics "Bardovi-Harlig's substantial volume, bringing together over two decades of research, is a model of thoroughness, informative research synthesis and readability. Aimed primarily at the research community, this comprehensive yet accessible treatment of an important area of second language acquisition research will also be of interest to second/foreign language curriculum developers and teachers." The Canadian Modern Language Review "This book is certain to have a major influence on this very active field of inquiry. There is NO book or any other publication that brings together between two covers the diverse studies that have been done on second language acquisition of tense and aspect. And Bardovi-Harlig does an excellent job of providing a comprehensive unified presentation of such diverse research." Professor Roger Andersen of UCLA. "The review is comprehensive, accurate and highly readable. Particularly important for the field is its contribution in bringing together different areas of L2 tense-aspect research in one accessible monograph, which presents a comprehensive picture of how L2 learners acquire temporality. I do not know of any other area of SLA where the total picture of acquisition has been described so comprehensively. The monograph will be a landmark in SLA research."
