New Directions in Cognitive Grammar and Style
In recent years, the Cognitive Grammar account of language and mind has become an influential framework for the study of textual meaning and interpretation. This book is the first to bring together applications of Cognitive Grammar for a range of stylistic purposes, including the analysis of both literary and non-literary discourse. Demonstrating the diverse range of uses for Cognitive Grammar, chapters apply this framework to diverse text-types including poetry, narrative fiction, comics, press reports, political discourse and music, as well as exploring its potential for the teaching of language and literature in a range of contexts. Combining cutting-edge research in cognitive, critical and pedagogical stylistics, New Directions in Cognitive Grammar and Styleshowcases the latest developments in this field and offers new insights into our experiences of literary and non-literary texts by drawing on current understandings of language and cognition.
Assessing English Learners in U.S. Schools
Why assess? And what will I do with the results? This book examines classroom assessment (not standardized assessment) through the lenses of three ESL teachers from across the United States. The teachers face a number of challenges particular to their individual situations, and other challenges common to all U.S. public school teachers. Most important, this book views teachers as the people best able to make their students successful. The decisions they make about assessments in the areas of literacy, oral language, and content-specific language development result in actionable information. Short reflections, jargon sidebars, and chapter activities make this an enjoyable, user-friendly resource for teachers in any classroom.

The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics for English Language Learners: Grades K-8
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) have been adopted by most states in the United States, and mathematics educators must attend to this widespread adoption and implementation. This book addresses the gap reflected in the statement, "It is also beyond the scope of the Standards to define the full range of supports appropriate for English language learners." This collection of pedagogical practices supports English language learners with the content and language demands of the CCSS for Mathematics. Each chapter highlights, via detailed classroom-based vignettes, specific pedagogical practices that teachers can use to support English language learners with the Standards for Mathematical Practices, and each concludes with questions for reflection and suggestions for action plans.

The many activities included encourage discovery learning, provide practice, and extend students' learning beyond the classroom.

Perspectives on Teaching English in a Binational Center in Brazil
A most important and influential development in Brazilian English language teaching (ELT) has been the establishment and growth of private, nonprofit, language teaching and learning organizations (LTOs). It is possible that LTOs can bring together privately funded and publicly available language education. As Brazil continues to play an important role as a world leader, English learners and LTOs will continue to be influential. This book examines how LTOs are affecting Brazil's ELT industry and international economy.
Perspectives on Teaching English at the U.S.-Mexico Border
The U.S.-Mexico border crossing has become an area of study in its own right. However, very few current books focus on language and linguistic factors. Perspectives on Teaching English at the U.S.-Mexico Border adds knowledge, understanding, and insight not only to the field of TESOL, but to other fields as well. Dr. Urzua notes: "Much can be learned from exploring English language teaching at institutions of higher education located in the borderlands, especially in terms of understanding the effects of national and regional educational policies on both sides of the border, the impact of such policies on English language learners, and how issues associated with transnationalism may affect English language teaching."
Beyond Repeat After Me
This engaging text clearly presents essential concepts that teachers need to guide their students toward clearly intelligible pronunciation and more effective communication skills. Based on a sound theoretical background, the book presents practical, imaginative ways to teach and practice pronunciation that go beyond a simple "Repeat after me." Recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all answer for pronunciation teaching, this book offers insights for adapting teaching techniques to a range of students and teaching situations: children or adults, beginners or advanced students, and learners worldwide, whether in English-speaking countries or areas where students seldom hear English outside of class. **This title also includes a companion website with online resources.**
Teaching English to Young Learners
As the number of young learners acquiring English worldwide continues to grow, the increasing number of teachers educating these students faces a daunting task. What theoretical perspectives, classroom approaches, and types of activities will result in lessons that are both enjoyable and beneficial to young learners? The approaches in Teaching English to Young Learners help guide teachers as they work with students from preschool to the lower reaches of secondary schooling, with a focus on children in Grades K-6. Emery and Rich provide specific tasks, strategies, and activities to show you how to establish the kind of reflective teaching that helps your students develop fluency and accuracy in the English language.
The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics for English Language Learners: High School
Copublished with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). With a focus on ways to best tailor instruction to captitalize upon the strengths each English language learner brings to the classroom, The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics for English Language Learners, High School, explores some of the ways high school mathematics content can be made accessible to learners by building from their strengths and scaffolding their opportunities to learn more. The chapters included in this text describe specific lessons and instructional moves teachers may make that will not only support their students in learning the mathematical content, but also the associated English structures that accompany the content. Each chapter also provides reflection questions and action plans that are useful for practicing teachers, preservice teachers, graduate students, academics, researchers, and professional development providers.
Transforming Practices for the High School Classroom
Discover the ways teachers and researchers apply up-to-date TESOL research to meet both content and language acquisition criteria while also affirming students' cultural knowledge, life experiences, and language abilities. Like the high school grades themselves, the chapters in this volume are organized by academic content area including language arts, social studies, science, and math. - Unpack two major factors of teaching high school English learners: students' English proficiency level and their previous educational experiences. - Understand the benefits of using guided visualization, graphic organizers, and scaffolding techniques to comprehend complex texts and mathematical lessons. - Create a collaborative classroom environment using project-based learning and encouraging dialogue with peers. - Learn how to deliver culturally relevant and creative instruction while supporting English learners in acquiring both academic and social English skills.
Preparing School Counselors for English Language Learners
School counselors need to have a working knowledge about the needs of all students and must specifically address the complexity of the needs of English learners. This last volume in the ESOL for Different Professions series focuses on the specific knowledge and skills that school counselors need to develop in order to best serve the English learner population in their schools. These skills include knowledge of current roles and responsibilities of school counselors; legislation, such as Title III of NCLB and the Bilingual Education Act; and an overview of issues such as second language development and multicultural counseling practices, and appropriate counseling interventions.
Teaching English for Academic Purposes
Why do students feel that mastering academic English is difficult? Is it really so different from other types of English? The authors present academic English as a particular type of English that is not necessarily better, fancier, or harder; rather, it is simply a different kind of English that is usually learned in scholastic settings after general English has been acquired. This easy-to-follow guide shows how learning academic language can be achieved by developing a set of skills that can be honed with practice, effective instruction, and motivation.
Managing the Language Classroom
Classroom management is the ability to create and maintain a conducive, collaborative learning environment with and for students. As language teachers, how do we best establish such an environment? Managing the Language Classroom introduces a practical, fresh approach to classroom management which discusses 10 principles to ensure students remain at the heart of a structured, practical, and effective classroom. Quirke's methods follow the DREAM philosophy; Develop and delegate, Recruit and respect, Enhance and enjoy, Appraise and attend, and Mentor and motivate. Learn how to unpack the complexity behind a teacher's daily classroom work and channel tacit knowledge into a well-designed, productive learning environment.
Content-Based Instruction
DelliCarpini and Alonso's book explores different approaches to teaching content-based instruction (CBI) in the English language classroom. They provide a comprehensive overview of how to teach CBI in an easy-to-follow guide that language teachers will find very practical for their own contexts. Topics covered include academic language development challenges and approaches, interdisciplinary teacher collaboration, and a two-way approach to CBI where content teachers and English language teachers work together and collaboratively develop complementary content-driven and language-driven CBI objectives. Content-Based Instruction is a valuable addition to the literature in our profession.
Materials Development
Teachers often find that materials get between learners and learning for a variety of reasons. Because learning materials play a significant part in lessons, it is important they fit their purpose. Mann and Copland have elicited and included comments and suggestions from teachers, teacher educators, and coursebook experts to illustrate their discussions and to bring the practitioner voice into play. They provide principles and approaches for adapting material to suit a variety of contexts and show how teachers can work successfully with limited resources. The authors are also concerned with the choices teachers and learners have with regard to the timing and location of learning, and include a discussion of homework, virtual learning environments, and the flipped classroom.

Dreyer’s English
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A sharp, funny grammar guide they'll actually want to read, from Random House's longtime copy chief and one of Twitter's leading language gurus NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY O: The Oprah Magazine - Paste - Shelf Awareness"Essential (and delightful!)"--People We all write, all the time: books, blogs, emails. Lots and lots of emails. And we all want to write better. Benjamin Dreyer is here to help. As Random House's copy chief, Dreyer has upheld the standards of the legendary publisher for more than two decades. He is beloved by authors and editors alike--not to mention his followers on social media--for deconstructing the English language with playful erudition. Now he distills everything he has learned from the myriad books he has copyedited and overseen into a useful guide not just for writers but for everyone who wants to put their best prose foot forward. As authoritative as it is amusing, Dreyer's English offers lessons on punctuation, from the underloved semicolon to the enigmatic en dash; the rules and nonrules of grammar, including why it's OK to begin a sentence with "And" or "But" and to confidently split an infinitive; and why it's best to avoid the doldrums of the Wan Intensifiers and Throat Clearers, including "very," "rather," "of course," and the dreaded "actually." Dreyer will let you know whether "alright" is all right (sometimes) and even help you brush up on your spelling--though, as he notes, "The problem with mnemonic devices is that I can never remember them." And yes: "Only godless savages eschew the series comma." Chockful of advice, insider wisdom, and fun facts, this book will prove to be invaluable to everyone who wants to shore up their writing skills, mandatory for people who spend their time editing and shaping other people's prose, and--perhaps best of all--an utter treat for anyone who simply revels in language.Praise for Dreyer's English"Playful, smart, self-conscious, and personal . . . One encounters wisdom and good sense on nearly every page of Dreyer's English."--The Wall Street Journal "Destined to become a classic."--The Millions "Dreyer can help you . . . with tips on punctuation and spelling. . . . Even better: He'll entertain you while he's at it."--Newsday

Language Migration
The relevance of this academic research on Language Migration was made evident when it was approved and accepted for publication on Wednesday, April 26, 2006 7:54:13 PM by Translation Watch Quarterly, Australia. Yet today, it is made even more relevant to students of language, communication science, and intercultural communication otherwise also known as translation.It is my hope and expectation that the language migration dynamics revealed through this research, howbeit using Nokia Corporation in Finland, will find ample resonance among keen language observers not only at the personal level but also at the corporate level especially with the proximity of language interchange in a country and neighbor as close as Canada, a bilingual country, where these language migratory dynamics can also be observed.
