John Benjamins Publishing Co Planning and Task Performance in a Second
Book SynopsisThe last decade has seen a growing body of research investigating various aspects of L2 learners’ performance of tasks. This book focuses on one task implementation variable: planning. It considers theories of how opportunities to plan a task affect performance and tests claims derived from these theories in a series of empirical studies. The book examines different types of planning (i.e. task rehearsal, pre-task planning and within-task planning), addressing both what learners do when they plan and the effects of the different types of planning on L2 production. The choice of planning as the variable for investigation in this book is motivated both by its importance for current theorizing about L2 acquisition (in particular with regard to cognitive theories that view acquisition in terms of information processing) and its utility to language teachers and language testers, for unlike many other constructs in SLA ‘planning’ lends itself to external manipulation. The study of planning, then, provides a suitable forum for demonstrating the interconnectedness of theory, research and pedagogy in SLA.Trade ReviewOverall, this book provides a useful snapshot of current thinking about planning and task performance in L2 instruction and learning. -- Mathias Schulze, University of Waterloo, in Canadian Modern Language Review Vol. 62:2, 2006Table of Contents1.

The accompanying audio CD has recordings of each chapter’s dialogues and exercises, made by native Egyptian speakers to enrich the student’s exposure to the spoken language in its natural context and speed.Trade Review“The books in the [Kallimni ‘Arabi] series altogether present the best Arabic textbooks available . . . miles ahead of most others.”—David Wilmsen, American University of Beirut“The Kalimni ‘Arabi Series are, in my opinion, the best books for learning Arabic in existence.”—Donovan Nagel, The Mezzofanti GuildTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionPlan of ModulesRevisionModule 1My personal historyThe White DesertChat with usHave we seen each other before?Real LifeRememberModule 2An Egyptian pictureThe familyChat with usI have an errand to runReal LifeRememberModule 3Where should I travel?How is your new job?Chat with usI've heard a lot about youReal LifeRememberModule 4Memories about Egypt in the pastChildhood memoriesChat with usDo you know where I can find?Real LifeRememberRevision and ConsolidationModule 5Times have changedMy life has changedChat with usHow about going to DahabReal LifeRememberModule 6What did they say?Who can help me?Chat with usHaven’t you heard about whathappened?Real LifeRememberModule 7I was in a hurryI am going out, comingback soonChat with usI knowReal LifeRememberModule 8I am still cleaningJust a while agoChat with usAnd who is that?Real LifeRememberRevision and ConsolidationGlossary

Pro Lingua Learning Grammar Practice
Book SynopsisEach page of this photocopiable book is focused on a single point of English grammar, from very basic matters such as subject-verb agreement with to be, to complexities such as real and unreal conditional and reported speech. There are three main types of exercises: question and answer, fill in the blank, and pair work. Many of the exercises are to be used in-class, but many may be assigned as homework. On each handout, there is minimal explanation of grammatical structures and rules because, as the title suggests, the point is practice. As a practice book, it offers page upon page of focused work. The 195 exercises are too numerous to list, but they are grouped in the following categories: 1) Basic Morphology, Phrase Structure, and Word Order, 2) To Be, 3) Present Tense, 4) Future Tense, 5) Modal Verbs, 6) Phrasal Verbs, 7) Other Verbal Structures, 8) Passive Voice, 9) The Noun Phrase, 10) Adjectives, 11) Adverbials, and 12) Clauses.
