A selection of Michael Swan's best known published articles on the theory and practice of teaching English as a foreign language. Each article in this collection begins with a short introduction by Michael Swan explaining the context in which he originally wrote it. Consequently, the articles not only address topics that remain highly relevant to language teachers today, but also provide a historical perspective on developments within the field. The collection ends with a small selection of his published satirical pieces. * Contains eighteen academic and pedagogical articles and seven satirical pieces. * Brings Michael Swan's best known and most widely cited articles together in a single book for the first time. This creates a unique and valuable resource both for people already familiar with these articles and for those discovering them through this collection. * Articles were all originally published in leading journals such as Applied Linguistics and the English Language Teaching Journal * All articles are published in their original form, but each one has an introduction by the author written specifically for this book, giving readers a historical and personal perspective on the topics discussed. * Suitable for a wide audience, including teacher trainers, practising and trainee teachers, as well as academics and researchers. What have been some of the most widely discussed themes and topics in the theory and practice of language teaching over the past thirty years? How much have things really changed during this period? This collection of articles by Michael Swan offers a uniquely personal view of trends and controversies within the teaching of English as a foreign language. They cover a wide range of topics, including: * the 'Communicative Approach' the drawbacks of 'one size fits all' solutions * the importance of prioritizing * the dangers of perfectionism * the importance of teaching at least some grammar * the need for various kinds of balance (between form and function, student-directed and teacher-directed work, knowledge and skills, process and product, etc.) These and other issues are discussed and analysed in a clear, vigorous style by an author who has never been afraid to challenge prevailing opinions and practice. The book ends with a small collection of published satirical pieces. These show the author's more playful side, while at the same time furthering his broader aim of challenging conventional wisdom.

Neemt een 'werknemer' werk ? Kan een loon een 'last' of een 'handicap' zijn ? Wat bedoelen onze politici wanneer ze zeggen dat we 'zuurstof ' aan 'onze economie' moeten geven? En op wie slaat de crisis in het begrip 'vluchtelingencrisis' ? Politiek is een wereld van woorden en beelden, en vaak zijn we overrompeld door wat we horen, zien en lezen. We voelen intuïtief aan dat de redenering niet klopt. Maar we kunnen de vinger niet op de fout leggen en voelen ons onmachtig om te corrigeren. In dit boekje gaat taalkundig antropoloog Jan Blommaert in op de diepere betekenis van de woorden die onze hoofden vult. Hij verheldert begrippen zoals 'perceptie' en 'framing' en reikt een hele reeks concrete en praktische tips aan om doorheen de woordenwolk te leren kijken en de producenten ervan lik op stuk te geven. Hoe vinden we onze eigen woorden en onze eigen stem terug ? Let op je woorden is een essentieel instrument voor sociale bewegingen en kritische mensen die zich willen mengen in de publieke debatten die ertoe doen.Bron : http://www.bol.com

"'This book, with its accompanying DVD, "NOW I AM A REAL KID" has made it possible for us to witness what David Rosenfeld's treatment of Benjamin, a young boy with a diagnosis of autism, was actually like. We can see for ourselves what was done, what was said; we can follow the steps by which Benjamin moved from being a child without language, in a state of perpetual panic-stricken screaming and flailing about, to being a "real kid" with friendships, doing well at an ordinary school. Witnessing this transformation is a profoundly moving experience. So is hearing the testimony of Benjamin's parents, who had been told repeatedly that there was no future for their son. It was their wish that his therapy should be more widely known about, in the hope that professionals could learn from it so that other families' lives might be transformed as theirs had been through "Dr David's" intervention. Everyone concerned with children with autism is in their debt.'- From the Introduction by Maria Rhode, Emeritus Professor of Child Psychotherapy at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation TrustThe DVD is available in both PAL and NTSC formats. Please specify which format you require when placing your order. If no format is specified we will supply PAL format.Please note the Ebook version of this title does not include the DVD content."--Provided by publisher.
