Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, Incorporated (TESOL) New Ways in Teaching Connected Speech
Book SynopsisConnected speech is based on a set of rules used to modify pronunciations so that words connect and flow more smoothly in natural speech (hafta versus have to). Native speakers of English tend to feel that connected speech is friendlier, more natural, more sympathetic, and more personal. Is there any reason why learners of English would prefer to be viewed as unfriendly, unnatural, unsympathetic, and impersonal? The great news is that such rules can (and should) be explained and taught. This book makes available fun and interesting lessons, presented in a systematic way that is directly useful in the ESL/EFL classroom.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Linguistic Legitimacy and Social Justice
Book SynopsisThis book examines the nature of human language and the ideology of linguistic legitimacy – the common set of beliefs about language differences that leads to the rejection of some language varieties and the valorization of others. It investigates a broad range of case studies of languages and dialects which have for various reasons been considered 'low-status' including: African American English, Spanglish, American Sign Language, Yiddish, Esperanto and other constructed languages, indigenous languages in post-colonial neo-European societies, and Afrikaans and related language issues in South Africa. Further, it discusses the implications of the ideology of linguistic legitimacy for the teaching and learning of foreign languages in the US. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book provides a readable and pedagogically useful tool to help readers comprehend the nature of human language, and the ways in which attitudes about human language can have either positive or negative consequences for communities and their languages. It will be of particular interest to language teachers and teacher educators, as well as students and scholars of applied linguistics, intercultural communication, minority languages and language extinction.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Language and Other Myths: ‘Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt’.- Chapter 2: Conceptualizing the Ideology of Linguistic Legitimacy: ‘Primitive people have primitive languages and other nonsense’.- Chapter 3: African American English, Race and Language: ‘You don’t believe fat meat is greasy’.- Chapter 4: Spanglish in the United States: ‘We speak Spanglish to the dogs, to the grandchildren, to the kids’.- Chapter 5: Sign Language and the DEAF-WORLD: ‘Listening without hearing’.- Chapter 6: Yiddish, the Mame-Loshn: ‘Mensch tracht, Gott lacht’.- Chapter 7: Created and Constructed Languages: ‘I can speak Esperanto like a native’.- Chapter 8: Afrikaans, Language of Oppression to Language of Freedom: ‘Dit is ons erns’.- Chapter 9: Why Language Endangerment and Language Death Matter: ‘Took away our native tongue … And taught their English to our young’.- Chapter 10: Foreign Language Education in the US: ‘But French isn’t a real class!’.- Chapter 11: Linguistic Legitimacy, Language Rights and Social Justice: ‘No one is free when others are oppressed’.

Springer International Publishing AG L2 Writing Assessment: An Evolutionary
Book SynopsisThis book tackles three choices that face developers of L2 writing assessments: defining L2 writing abilities; collecting evidence of those abilities (usually by getting L2 writers to write something); and judging their performance (usually by assigning a score or grade to it). It takes a historical view of how assessment developers have made those choices, how contemporary practices emerged, and of alternative techniques that have risen and fallen over time. The three sections each tackle one of these choices. The first considers the social functions that define L2 writing and assessment; the second relates how assessment tasks have adapted to changing conceptions of languages, writing, and assessment; and the third explores how scoring systems have evolved. Each section brings the reader up to date with current issues confronting writing assessment (both in large-scale testing and in language classrooms) before considering the new opportunities and challenges of the digital age. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners in language assessment, language education, and applied linguistics.Trade Review“L2 Writing Assessment: An Evolutionary Perspective written by Anthony Green provides an in-depth look at L2 writing assessment from a critical angle which has been under-investigated to date. … Language assessment provides valuable feedback to both teachers and students about their progress and areas for improvement, which is an essential part of language learning. … This book, L2 Writing Assessment: An Evolutionary Perspective, deserves a recommendation for its compelling content.” (Hassan Mohebbi and Eunjeong Park, Assessing Writing, Vol. 57, July, 2023)Table of ContentsPart I: Getting started with L2 writingChapter 1: IntroductionPart II: Getting writers to writeChapter 2: Public education, rhetoric, and examinationsChapter 3 :The dawn of the language testChapter 4: Assessment trends and the revival of writingChapter 5: Shifting views of L2 writingPart III: Judging language learners’ writingChapter 6: Compelling consensus: from mark schemes to the scaling of samplesChapter 7: Rating scales and beyondChapter 8: Directions in L2 writing assessment
