Are you the business professional who has to get the grammar right-and who's been embarrassed once or twice when you didn't?

Boost Creative Writing pack
The Boost Creative Writing series of books addresses the Programmes of Study for writing composition in the (2014) National Curriculum for England. This pack contains the three books from the series. The activities provide additional reinforcement of key skills for slower learners. SEN pupils and slower learners need extra support to help them to become confident writers. The structured planning sheets in Boost Creative Writing provide SEN pupils with non-prescriptive writing scaffolds, giving them the support they need. The sheets cover a range of writing genres, from stories and poems to book reviews and newspaper reports. Written by Judith Thornby, an experienced Learning Support Coordinator, the sheets have been extensively trialled and tested. They have been shown to boost children's writing skills, give pupils confidence and make them believe that they can write. While designed for SEN pupils these sheets can, and have, been used by pupils of all abilities.
Teaching Vocabulary, Revised
Vocabulary is central to English language teaching. Without sufficient vocabulary, students cannot understand others or express their own ideas. Teachers who find the task of teaching English vocabulary a little daunting are not alone! This easy-to-follow book presents important issues from recent vocabulary research and theory so that teachers may approach teaching vocabulary in a principled, thoughtful way. Topics covered are understanding vocabulary, importance of vocabulary, relevant research findings, students' vocabulary levels, and teaching vocabulary effectively. This revised volume contains two new chapters -- Technology and Online Resources for Vocabulary Learning and Teaching and Using Word Lists in Vocabulary Teaching. New references and updated research, as well as new web links, activities, charts, and a detailed lesson plan for teachers to consider, are also included. The book is practical for English language teachers in any context and provides helpful reflections.
Teachers’ Research in Language Education
Over the past decade, interest in language teacher education and professionalization programs has increased significantly mainly due to global educational reforms, which have been driven by internationalization, multilingualism, the rise of new literacy and the incorporation of technologies. These reforms, based on the challenges of knowledge societies and networks, have created the need to re-evaluate and reconceptualize teacher training and teacher professional development as a "fundamental connection to teaching" (Bryant et al., 2008; V矇laz de Medrano & Vaillant, 2009; Espinosa, 2012; Johnson and Golombeck, 2018). The main objective is, then, to "prepare the new generations within an increasingly uncertain and demanding global scenario" (P矇rez Ru穩z, 2014, p 114). This publication addresses work on the education of language teachers in a variety of sociocultural, educational and institutional contexts carried out in Mexico and Latin America with various methodological designs and approaches from different theoretical perspectives. Therefore, in the context of current challenges, we seek to promote the exchange, discussions of experience and results of research and reflection that can influence the direction and implementation of language policies regarding teacher education and teacher professionalization for language teaching.

Hieroglyphic Vocabulary
This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.
Invisible Effects
Invisible Effects directly engages systems and complexity theory to reveal how the effects of writing and writing instruction work in deferred, disguised, and unexpected ways. The book explains how writing and language that exist in "writing systems" can indirectly (though powerfully) affect people and environments in sometimes distant contexts. In so doing, the book takes on a question central to rhetoric and writing throughout its long history but perhaps even more pressing today: how do we recognize and measure the effects of writing when those effects are so tangled up with our complex material and discursive environments? The surprisingly powerful effects explored here suggest new ways of thinking about and teaching writing and the applications, lessons, and examples in the text precisely model what this thinking and teaching might look like. This book is primed to serve as an important addition to reading lists of scholars and graduate students in Writing Studies and Rhetoric and should appear on many syllabi in courses on writing and writing instruction and on rhetoric, both introductory and advanced. As well, the book's advocacy for the unrecognized potential impact of writing instruction makes it appealing for writing program directors and any potential university faculty, administrators, and non-academics interested in the importance and the efficacy of writing instruction. This book is also a useful resource for scholars and graduate students specializing in Writing Across the Curriculum, as the text provides a useful way to shift the conversation and communicate about writing across disciplines.

Semantics of Complex Words
This volume offers a valuable overview of recent research into the semantic aspects of complex words through different theoretical frameworks. Contributions by experts in the field, both morphologists and psycholinguists, identify crucial areas of research, present alternative and complementary approaches to their examination from the current level of knowledge, and indicate perspectives of research into the semantics of complex words by raising important questions that need to be investigated in order to get a more comprehensive picture of the field. Recent decades have seen both extensive and intensive development of various theories of word-formation, however, the semantic aspects of complex words have, with a few notable exceptions, been rather neglected. This volume fills that gap by offering articles written by leading experts in the field from various theoretical backgrounds.

On the Origins of Speaking
"On the Origins of Speaking" is a book about etymology, that is the origins of words and their meanings, a book on the relatively new science of Linguistics, which reveals why they mean what they mean. The last fifty years of Linguistics have been in thrall to Professor Noam Chomsky of Massachussets Institute of Technology, MIT, and his Transformational Grammar, which he put together when he was still an undergraduate at MIT himself. The etymology has taken a back seat for the last fifty years and more, while language studies have been conducted in terms of symbolic logic, with logical terms treated as equivalent to mathematical ones. This originated with Gotfried Frege in Austria, in the eighteenth century, but had little influence until Bertrand Russell's "Principia Mathematica" (copying Newton) in the last century. It is perhaps more philosophy than science. Unthinking people think meanings are random. But few scientific theories last unchanged for ever, and the pendulum is swinging the other way. Many more primitive languages have been researched in the two nests of hundreds of primitive languages in the Amazon Basin and the island of New Guinea, where different speakers are apt to exchange poisoned blowpipe darts when they meet rather than conversation. It keeps societies with the same language small and many of them, and their grammars, as well as undeveloped, are various; and most importantly are quite different from the grammars of the west. Their language genes are different from our language genes, if there actually are any genes involved in language. But when we address the actual circumstances of how we learned to speak it is clear we were only able to share our meanings as we learned to utter the single phonemes one by one by giving them meanings which were echoic, never mind our genes. So cucu meant a cuckoo; but generally the echoism was much more whimsical. The sharpest tone was ka and the sharpest job was flaking flints. The sound of flint on flint could be thought of as ka. Once the bare bottomed naming committees hunkered around their hearths had picked a meaning, then those in the know would repeat the action or point to the object while saying the consonant until everyone got it. It worked. This is some way from speech today. Until the Tower of Babel (the Tau of Bab El, the change of the mouth of the Lord, that is to say of God's original language) - when, comparatively recently, (say some eight thousand years ago) we abandoned compiling our words from their constituent phonemes as we went along and just learned them by heart, like parrots, with their meanings as well} we spoke with single phonemes (mostly the consonants with three vowels to aid pronunciation, a, i and u (aa, ee and oo) and we soon learned to string them together for more meanings, derived from their first ones. It took hundreds of thousands of years, but eventually we abandoned Babel. We are much better at remembering single meanings than the meanings of all the individual phonemes and the composite meaning derived from each string. The heavy work is discovering all the original meanings of the phonemes (letters) and how they developed from there, by metaphor, one after the other; and it is largely done for you in this book. It took me forty years. Nothing like it before.

Anglo-American and Polish Proverbs
The main purpose of the publication is to present a linguo-cultural picture of traditional values (such as the value of life, freedom, dignity, family, religion, community, truth, good, beauty, and God) reflected in Anglo-American and Polish paremiology. The author analyzes the proverbs with the use of semantic approach and divides them into several thematic categories and subcategories related to the sphere of values. The paremiological analysis carried out from a contrastive perspective provides additional evidence to support the claim that, despite some widespread axiological views common to languages, there exist distinct differences characteristic only of a given linguo-culture, naturally caused by different, among others, geographical, historical, social, and cultural environments.
