1.Cross-cultural communication: Concepts, cases and challenges

Tác giả: Norales.O Francisca

Nội dung: “Cross-Cultural Communication: Concepts, Cases and Challenges” is a collection of essays written by academic leaders in the field. This text consists of three parts. In Part I, cross-cultural communication concepts are introduced. In Part II, cultural case studies are presented. In Part III, challenges and implications of cross-cultural communication are argued.

2. Curriculum development in language teaching

Tác giả: Jack C.Richards

Nội dung: This text provides a systematic introduction to the issues involved in planning, developing, and managing effective language programs. The paperback edition provides a systematic introduction to the issues involved in developing, managing, and evaluating effective second and foreign language programs and teaching materials. Key stages in the curriculum development process are examined, including situation analysis, needs analysis, goal setting, syllabus design, materials development and adaptation, teaching and teacher support, and evaluation. Discussion activities throughout the book enable it to be used as a reference text for teachers and administrators.

3. Crosslinguistic influence in language and cognition

Tác giả: Scott Jarvis, Aneta Pavlenko

Nội dung: A cogent, freshly written synthesis of new and classic work concerning crosslinguistic influence, or “transfer,” this book will become the authoritative account of transfer in second-language learning and its consequences for language and thought. Transfer in both production and comprehension is treated extensively, and new ideas such as the distinction between semantic and conceptual transfer, lateral transfer, and reverse transfer are given the attention they deserve. The book will be of considerable interest to students and scholars in the fields of second language acquisition, bilingualism, and applied linguistics.

4. Cultural intelligence: A guide to working with people from other cultures

Tác giả: Brooks Peterson

Nội dung: Uses case studies and illustrations to provide tips for working effectively with international clients, customers, and business partners. Readers learn to define their own cultural style in six vital areas: managements, strategy, planning, personal communication, and reasoning. Though not strictly a textbook, it is commonly used as a text in internationally-focused courses and cross-cultural programs.

5. Current developments in English for academic, specific and occupational purposes

Tác giả: Mark Krzanowski

Nội dung: Current Developments in English for Academic, Specific and Occupational Purposes is a collection of papers which reflect the diversity and multiplicity of strands that international EAP and ESP practitioners of the 21st century are engaged in across all the continents. Most of the papers in the book are contributions of the members of the ESP SIG at IATEFL (although there are a couple of ‘guest’ submissions), and were presented at the IATEFL Conferences in Cardiff (2005) and Harrogate (2006). The IATEFL ESP SIG hopes that the book proves a useful compendium for teachers, lecturers, teacher trainers, trainees and students of TESOL, ELT or Applied Linguistics.

6. Corpus use and translating: Corpus use for learning to translate and learning corpus use to translate

Tác giả: Allison Beeby, Patricia Rodríguez Inés và Pilar Sánchez-Gijón

Nội dung: Professional translators are increasingly dependent on electronic resources, and trainee translators need to develop skills that allow them to make the best use of these resources. The aim of this book is to show how CULT (Corpus Use for Learning to Translate) methodologies can be used to prepare learning materials, and how novice translators can become autonomous users of corpora. Readers interested in translation studies, translator training and corpus linguistics will find the book particularly useful. Not only does it include practical, technical advice for using and learning to use corpora, but it also addresses important issues such as the balance between training and education and how CULT methodologies reinforce student autonomy and responsibility. Not only is this a good introduction to CULT, but it also incorporates the latest developments in this field, showing the advantages of using these methodologies in competence-based learning.
