Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This is the first book to provide comprehensive treatment of Robert Lowell's engagements with Irish poetry. Including original contributions by leading and emerging scholars from both sides of the Atlantic, the essays in the volume explore topics such as Lowell and W.B. Yeats, Louis MacNeice, and Denis Devlin, as well as the ways in which the American poet's work was read by later Irish poets Seamus Heaney, Eavan Boland, Paul Durcan, Leontia Flynn, and others. In addition to exploring the ways that several poets have engaged with Lowell, the book encompasses a wide range of thematic concerns, from Lowell and ecology to the politics of identification. The book also includes essays on aspects of Lowell's engagements with Irish-American contexts, as well as contributions by contemporary poets Gerald Dawe, Paul Muldoon and Julie O'Callaghan. Robert Lowell and Irish Poetry concludes with a previously unpublished introduction Seamus Heaney gave to a reading by Lowell in Ireland in 1975, which is followed by a reminiscence by Marie Heaney. 280 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book presents you with the background profiles of those mass exterminators of National Socialism who wound up in court. It pictures their 'route to crime' and explains why their court room profiles have always remained so controversial in the eyes of post-war observers and commentators. Both inside and outside academia, this controversy continuous to flare up every now and then. It invariably focusses on Hannah Arendt's famous thesis about the personality of Adolf Eichmann, Hitler's manager of mass destruction. We will take a closer look at the arguments involved in this 'debate' on the Banality of Evil and see how Arendt's interpretation of Eichmann relates to the perspectives of the post-war courts who tried other exterminators of Hitler's empire. 166 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In this book, Reverend Cansky Masson introduces his readers to five essential concepts for the local Church's growth. Drawn from long years of ministerial experience of the author of 'Born to Grow' offers a plethora of substantial elements that evangelical leaders must experience thoroughly for the rational growth of their local churches. This Book is a practical guide in response to the inadequate growth of many of our local churches. The concepts developed here are of universal application. The environment in which you evolve, your culture, the size of your church itself will not stand in the way. As one can well prescribe a diet regulated with efficient rations for the integral development of an infant 'BORN TO GROW' aims to be a manual of evaluation and orientation for growing churches.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cet ouvrage vise à cerner les spécificités contemporaines de l'école maternelle, en mettant au jour les attentes particulières qui y règnent vis-à-vis des enfants. L'auteur réactive ainsi le questionnement des premiers sociologues de l'école maternelle (Dannepond, Plaisance, Chamboredon et Prévot), pour l'appliquer à la période contemporaine. Après la recherche de productivité (années 50), puis d'expressivité (années 60-70), qu'est-ce que l'école maternelle cherche aujourd'hui à faire de l'enfant Mobilisant entretiens, observations, étude des programmes et des rapports d'inspection, l'auteur montre que, dans les dernières décennies, on attend de plus en plus que l'enfant soit un élève autonome et performant. Ceci s'explique notamment par l'évolution des politiques publiques et leur recherche nouvelle de rentabilité, qui ont transformé les objectifs et pratiques ordinaires de l'école maternelle. Du côté de l'enfant, ces attentes d'autonomie et de performance se déclinent en exigences disciplinaires, cognitives, émotionnelles et même hygiéniques qui s'avèrent en partie spécifiques à la période contemporaine. Elles semblent paradoxalement aboutir à renforcer les inégalités sociales, car les enfants issus des catégories moyennes et supérieures y apparaissent bien plus préparés. Ceci ressort notamment de l'étude des pratiques d'inspiration montessorienne, qui se sont diffusées très récemment.L'école maternelle contemporaine viserait-elle à initier l'enfant à un certain ethos contemporain, performer, qui hante notre imaginaire social 162 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The lively, informative and incisive collection of essays sheds fascinating new light on the literary interrelations between Ireland, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the Czech Republic. It charts a hitherto under-explored history of the reception of modern Irish culture in Central and Eastern Europe and also investigates how key authors have been translated, performed, and adapted. The work of Jonathan Swift, John Millington Synge, Flann O'Brien, Samuel Beckett, Brian Friel, Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon and Martin McDonagh, it is indicated, has particularly inspired writers, directors, and translators. The searching analyses presented here illuminatingly reflect on the far-reaching political and social import of multicultural exchange. It is shown to be a process that is at best mutually defining and that raises questions about received forms of identity, the semiotics of genre and the possibilities and limits of linguistic translation. In addition, the histories compiled here of critical commentary on Irish literature in Hungary or of the staging of contemporary Irish plays in Hungary and in the Czech Republic, for example, uncover the haphazardness of intercultural exchange and the extent to which it is vulnerable to political ideology, social fashion, and the vagaries of state funding. The revealing explorations undertaken in this volume of a wide array of Irish dramatic and literary texts, ranging from Gulliver's Travels to Translations and The Pillowman, tease out the subtly altered nuances that they acquire in a Central European context. By the same token, it is demonstrated that Ireland has been changed by the recent migration of workers from Eastern Europe and that consequently projections of the figure of the emigrant or asylum seeker in current drama warrant scrutiny. This original and combative collection demonstrates, not only that literary exchange between Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, and Ireland has been prolonged, multifaceted and, above all, enriching, but also that it exposes blind-spots, and forces confrontation with issues of racism, failure of empathy and cultural misprision. 288 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book presents an analysis of more than 30 plays written by Irish dramatists and poets that are based on the tragedies of Sophocles, Euripides and Aeschylus. These plays proceed from the time of Yeats and Synge through MacNeice and the Longfords on to many of today's leading writers. A special feature of the book is that, in order to cater for these who may know little about Greek tragedy, it begins with a chapter entitled 'A Brief Reading of Greek Tragedy', and then, in regard to each Greek play analysed, it presents a mini-essay on that play, before coming to the Irish version(s) of it. Three features of these Irish appropriations stand out. Firstly, there are three methods of using a Greek tragedy: straight translation, which requires us to interrogate the original play; version, which preserves the invariant core of the original, but which can add or subtract material; loose adaptation, which often moves the action into the modern world. Secondly, there is a considerable stress on Sophocles whose emphasis on the theme of recognition resonates in a postcolonial society that must define itself. Thirdly, there is a considerable stress on the experience of women - such as Antigone and Medea - that can relate to the position of women in Irish society after independence. 176 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Jean-Bernard Raimond fait partie d'une génération de diplomates et de politiques dont la formation s'appuyait très souvent, à l'instar des élites de la III e République, sur une solide culture littéraire. Il fut d'abord un brillant khâgneux à Louis-le-Grand, comme Georges Pompidou -- normalien cultivé et russophone, sans politisation particulière, puis bascule vers la haute fonction publique, en intégrant l'ENA en 1954.Deux ans plus tard, il rejoint la Carrière, chargé de la politique soviétique au Proche et Moyen-Orient. Convaincu de la nécessité d'un 'gouvernement par les littéraires', Georges Pompidou l'appelle comme chargé de mission puis conseiller diplomatique, après l'avoir vu évoluer auprès de son ministre des Affaires étrangères, Maurice Couve de Murville dès 1967, puis comme conseiller technique de son gouvernement.Des lettres à la diplomatie, Jean-Bernard Raimond déploie une action technique assise sur une maturation globale des enjeux, et une compréhension subtile des réalités géopolitiques qu'il appréhende. C'est ainsi qu'il évolue facilement des questions globales de la géopolitique de guerre froide, en particulier à travers les subtilités du Proche et du Moyen-Orient, au poste singulier de la Villa Bonaparte (Saint-Siège). Reconnu également pour son engagement et son intelligence politique, il est nommé ministre des Affaires étrangères de la première cohabitation, et élu député de la première circonscription des Bouches-du-Rhône, à Aix-en-Provence.Des lettres à la politique, en passant par la diplomatie, c'est ce parcours riche, marqué par la figure de Georges Pompidou, que cet ouvrage tente de restituer. 140 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Rise of Weaponized Flak in the New Media Era presents the first book-length examination of flak as a form of political harassment, authored by a seasoned researcher on political discourse and mass media. Flak against news media was a component of the Edward Herman-Noam Chomsky seminal 'Propaganda Model.' However, in the thirty years since the model was introduced, flak has become an increasingly significant and prevalent sociopolitical force in its own right, in large part for the proliferation of new media platforms. Flak is not simply good faith or tough criticism. Rather, flak discourses and actions go on attack for the purpose of delegitimizing, disabling, and even criminalizing political foes, however tendentiously. The book presents cross-disciplinary appeal for students and scholars of mass media, new media, political science, and sociology-as well as for anyone concerned with today's sociopolitical environment.Given the book's seminal examination of the topic, the introductory chapters in Part I extensively map out flak's current forms and delineate similarities and distinctions from scandal and activism. Newly-minted terminology is introduced to flesh-out contemporary flak (for example, flak-in-discourse, boutique flak, phantom flak). The balance of the book is organized around case studies of flak mills (Part II) and flak issues (Part III). In particular, Part II drills down into the flak discourses and techniques of dedicated flak mills that characterize themselves as, respectively, journalistic and think tank organizations. Part III of the book features case studies of flak around elections and universities in the United States. 222 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Cet ouvrage entend modifier le point de vue sur l'art conceptuel en partant des multiples manières dont des artistes associés au mouvement ont eu recours à la photographie. Cette approche de l'art conceptuel nécessite de prendre de la distance par rapport au modèle anglo-américain en élargissant l'observation à d'autres aires géographiques comme celles du Brésil, de l'Italie, du Japon et de la Pologne. Le choix d'une focale élargie rassemble également des notions a priori étrangères à l'idée de dématérialisation de l'art qui reste attachée à l'historiographie de l'art conceptuel. La triade 'Photo / Objet / Concept' insiste sur la dimension matérielle des expressions artistiques étudiées. La notion d'objet constitue en effet une des idées directrices de ce volume. Elle permet d'interroger les caractéristiques matérielles du médium à travers des pratiques spécifiques comme la sculpture, la délégation ou l'exposition. Reconsidérer l'usage et les pratiques de la photographie au sein de l'art conceptuel amène à renouveler la réception d'un moment historique pour comprendre l'importance et la place du médium dans l'art d'aujourd'hui. 194 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the ways in which the political and social power structures between filmmaker and protagonist are manifested in the aesthetics of documentary film. Using a synthesis of filmmaking practice and critical theories from the fields of cultural studies and political philosophy, the research devises methodological approaches to the analysis of documentaries in light of the political and material conditions of their emergence. By exploring filmmaking practice and placing it in the context of wider theories pertaining to issues of power structures and representation, it sheds light on the different aspects which must be considered when approaching the analysis of a documentary film for its ideological and political content. 146 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Este libro presenta periodismos de los extremos latinoamericanos: de América del Norte (México) y América del Sur (Argentina). Los autores son escritores y/o periodistas en plena actividad, reconocidos en su país por su exigencia profesional y su talento, por su respeto al pluralismo de las ideas y algunos, por el riesgo que toman al investigar y al escribir. Dicho volumen consta de algunas crónicas metatextuales que tratan de definir el periodismo escrito hoy, en sus aspectos estéticos y éticos, y que reflexionan sobre la historia del género practicado en Argentina y México a través de experiencias personales. Algunos artículos, por otro lado, apuntan hacia el propio proceso de creación de una narración periodística. Revelan memorias singulares que cuestionan desde lo íntimo la verdad histórica, escriben contra la 'cobertura' de hechos sanguinarios relacionados con el crimen organizado, indagan la violencia institucional que tortura y mata, develan el trauma mental y corporal heredado de los regímenes represivos, denuncian un sistema patriarcal, evidencian la relojería de la desigualdad de género, disecan el diálogo conflictivo entre la modernización a ultranza de la sociedad y el radicalismo de ciertas costumbres ancestrales. Otros rescatan relatos de esperanza mediante la potencia cultural de pensadores, creadores y soñadores. Porque en los nuevos periodismos latinoamericanos todo no es sólo violencia. Arraigados en la crónica que descubre mundos, revisten un cariz aventurero por la manera de mirarlos, experimentarlos, reportarlos. Inventan el espacio para, libremente, interpretar, divulgar y discutir aconteceres culturales que van desde las Humanidades a la Ciencia pasando por todas las artes. 192 pp. Spanisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Doctor Still Knows Best explores an answer to the question: how can medical culture still be marked by paternalism despite the focused attempts by the medical community to put doctor and patient on more equal footing The recent push within medicine has been on shared decision-making, truth-telling by the doctor, and creating a medical culture that is patient-centered. The author has discovered that, in practice, medicine tells a very different story. Since entering the medical world twenty years ago seeking treatment for infertility through IVF, subsequently seeking treatments for her disabled son through the present day, Janet Farrell Leontiou has continually encountered a medical culture where she is not treated as an equal. As a professor of communication, the author has developed an ear for language and is able to deconstruct the ways in which communication choices create a patriarchal medical culture. Dr. Farrell Leontiou also understands how no communication can create a culture without her participation. She, therefore, invites the reader to recognize how we can endorse and recreate a culture that does not serve our interests. Through an examination of her own experience, the book offers insight on how medical paternalism has survived for as long as it has and argues that it never serves the best interest of the patient.The book provides the reader, medical student and/or health communication student with a fresh way of thinking about how communicative choices create culture. 94 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -When MTV (Music Television channel) was established in 1981, an executive claimed that they had 'integrated the most powerful forces in our two decades, TV and rock 'n' roll.' In fact, this problematic relationship began in the mid-1950s, when the advent of rock 'n' roll represented a musical and cultural revolution. The backlash against the music and the youth culture from which it emanated, described here as 'rockaphobia,' was reflected in a process of adulteration, racism, and co-optation by television programmers, spearheaded by American Bandstand. This interplay between rock 'n' roll and television played a significant role in alienating baby boomers from the mainstream, motivating them to create their own countercultural identity. This social migration helped to delineate the boundaries that would be identified in the 1960s as the generation gap.Transmission and Transgression uses an interdisciplinary approach informed by media ecology, the theoretical framework which recognizes that each communication technology, or medium, creates its own unique environment, independent of content. This analysis allows the author to identify inherent technological and sensory incompatibilities between the medium of television and the cultural practice of rock 'n' roll, and to place these tensions within the broader shift of physiological emphasis from the traditional, tribal world dominated by the ear to the modern world which privileges the eye. Even in its remediated, diluted form, rock music has occupied a significant niche on television, and this book is the most comprehensive summary, celebration, and analysis of that history. 356 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Regional differences matter. Even in an increasingly globalized world, rhetorical attention to regionalism yields very different understandings of geographic areas and the people who inhabit them. Regional identities often become most apparent in the differences (real and perceived) between urban and rural areas. Politicians recognize the perceived differences and develop messages based on that knowledge. Media highlight and exacerbate the differences to drive ratings. Cultural markers (from memorials to restaurants and memoirs and beyond) point to the differences and even help to construct those divisions. The places identified as urban and rural even visually demarcate the differences at times. This volume explores how rhetoric surrounding the urban and rural binary helps shape our understanding of those regions and the people who reside there. Chapters from award-winning rhetorical scholars explain the implications of viewing the regions as distinct and divided, exploring how they influence our understanding of ourselves and others, politics and race, culture, space and place, and more. Attention to urban and rural spaces is necessary because those spaces both act rhetorically and are also created through rhetoric. In a time when thoughtful attention to regional division has become more critical than ever, this book is required reading to help think through and successfully engage the urban/rural divide. 318 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The boundaries between word classes are often fuzzy. This book looks at the classification of interjections and similar words of other classes. It reviews work done over the past 250 years on several languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Latin, Ancient Greek, Albanian, and Welsh. Most chapters discuss interjections in relation to one of the other traditionally recognized parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, adpositions, and conjunctions. A major focus is on the use of relevant terminology e.g. primary and secondary interjections, proper and improper interjections, and interjectives. 142 pp. Englisch.

This methodology aims to facilitate the acquisition of a second language in the same way that a child acquires his mother tongue, taking into account the characteristics of the environment of the acquisition of an L2, which in most cases is the classroom.These pedagogic principles have been obtained through a detailed study of infant and children's developmental psychology and the infant-directed speech (IDS), also known as Motherese.The book also provides with the main criticism different methods and approaches had had over the years and explains why this method overcomes these criticisms to teach a second language effectively 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Esta antología poética tiene dos propósitos dinámicos: presentarle a los lectores hispano-hablantes poetas recientes que escriben en inglés desde su experiencia de mujeres y que interactúan con la historia y las estructuras sociales de los lugares donde habitan; y facilitar a los departamentos que imparten cursos en español la inclusión de poetas en diálogo con la ascendencia hispano-hablante en los Estados Unidos. La Introducción comenta críticamente selectas corrientes latentes a modo de contextualizar el horizonte poético latino-estadounidense. A su vez, expone a grandes rasgos la cambiante nomenclatura con la cual se identifica o por medio del cual se cuestiona la oclusión de la presencia histórica de los ascendientes hispano-hablantes en los Estados Unidos. La Introducción también traza las influencias académicas que influyeron la concepción de este proyecto e influyen el acto de traducción. Examina la importancia de lugar, lugar de enunciación, el poema como pausa y como presencia. Por último, la antología tiene un elemento pedagógico que por medio de las notas al pie de la página los estudiantes de traducción literaria pueden seguir las elecciones de la traductora, las dudas y el proceso de decisiones. 150 pp. Spanisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Socio-Cultural and Philosophical Origins of Science discusses the formation of spiritual culture and reveals the prerequisites for the developments of philosophy (reflection), science (objectification), religion (spirituality), and art (conventionality) from a common root: animistic thinking. Philosophy emerges as reflexive thinking which transforms the animistic into the ideal, the polarization of which into a subject-object relation becomes the basis for the emergence and development of science. The study shows that any new thought in culture that answers the question of being goes through the same stages of mysticism, poetics, rhetoric, grammar, logic, and mathematics. The book is designed for students to prepare for the PhD candidate examination in the philosophy of science, as well as for scholars (scientists) interested in the methodology of scientific knowledge. It would also appeal to both students and professors in various disciplines across humanities and social sciences, as well as to anyone interested in understanding the commonalities and differences among, and the origins of, philosophy, science, religion, and art. 98 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mediating the Windrush Children analyses three plays by St. Kitts-born British playwright Caryl Phillips: Strange Fruit (1981), Where There is Darkness (1982), The Shelter (1984), and a film by Trinidadian-British filmmaker Horace Ové, Pressure (1975), as artistic depictions of the experience of the Windrush generation, a term that refers to the Anglo-Caribbean islanders recruited to help rebuild Britain in the aftermath of World War II. These works are vibrant calls to resist visuality as an authoritarian medium, and tools of resilience. The revival of Caryl Phillips's Strange Fruit at the Bush Theatre, and 'Get Up, Stand Up Now', the celebration of Black British artists, among whom Horace Ové, took place in London during the summer of 2019. Both events put into perspective the 2018 Windrush scandal that saw members of the Windrush generation denied their rights as British citizens.Mediating the Windrush Children should appeal to students engaged in drama studies, film studies and postcolonial literature, as well as members of the general public interested in artistic works focusing on the Windrush generation. 84 pp. Englisch.

L'ampleur des mutations engendrées (disparition d'acteurs des industries techniques, destruction massive d'emplois et de savoir-faire, redéfinition des contours de métiers anciens et apparition de nouveaux) a sensibilisé une partie de la communauté scientifique. Des projets nationaux et internationaux d'envergure ont vu le jour, avec le souci de cartographier les changements et surtout de préserver des connaissances et des compétences menacées de disparition. À l'heure où ces projets de recherche semblent se multiplier, cet ouvrage collectif, tiré d'un colloque universitaire, propose de se concentrer sur des questionnements d'ordre méthodologique: comment aborder les changements intervenus dans la filière cinématographique à partir de quelles sources, avec quels outils et selon quelles approches quels problèmes méthodologiques la recherche sur les métiers et les techniques du cinéma et de l'audiovisuel soulève-t-elle Autant de questions traitées dans ces pages, à partir de contributions d'une jeune génération de chercheurs dont les travaux, parmi les plus novateurs, incarnent aujourd'hui une dynamique significative au sein des études cinématographiques et audiovisuelles. S'il y a urgence à étudier un monde qui semble disparaître et se transformer sous nos yeux, il est tout aussi urgent de s'attarder sur les modalités de la recherche, sur les outils méthodologiques et les sources à disposition. 318 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Le journalisme narratif -genre qui naît et s'impose en Argentine ( Operación masacre , Rodolfo Walsh, 1957) et aux États-Unis ( De Sang froid , Truman Capote, 1966)- connaît actuellement une extension remarquable, notamment en Amérique Latine et dans le monde anglo-saxon. En puisant dans les instruments des arts textuels et visuels pour informer, ce journalisme semble échapper au formatage des entreprises médiatiques, à l'homogénéisation d'une parole dominante et centralisée, et cherche à rénover et diversifier les lectures du monde. Dans un siècle où l'information doit, avant d'informer, être rapide, brève, percutante jusqu'à la déformation, le présent ouvrage propose, à partir de divers champs disciplinaires, une réflexion sur la porosité entre 'journalisme narratif' et ' arts' et examine comment leurs rencontres -parfois conflictuelles- se transforment à leur tour en contre-médias pour récupérer la place d'instruction et de dénonciation que les principaux organes médiatiques ont désertée. Les travaux de ce volume analysent le processus complexe du passage de l'enquête de terrain à sa retranscription et interprétation, depuis un journalisme, des créations visuelles et des récits fictionnels qui défendent l'expérience intime de l'investigation et qui s'emparent des outils des arts (cinéma, photographie.) et de la narration littéraire pour donner une lecture fouillée et plus lisible du réel. 290 pp. Spanisch, Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Against the backdrop of an increasingly globalized business environment, this book provides readers with a pragmatic approach to international management of complex issues that arise from the tension between fiduciary and ethical priorities. If the challenge of management is making decisions in situations of uncertainty, Conflict Minerals in the Democratic Republic of Congo is the ultimate test of finding business solutions in extremely volatile situations. Based on firsthand experience and years of rigorous research, this book leverages a real-world case of a global tech company grappling with the dilemma of whether to continue sourcing a vital mineral in the conflict-affected region of the Democratic Republic of Congo at the risk of ruining its reputation or to suffer the immediate financial consequences of pulling out. Putting readers in the role of consultants to a client operating in the area lets them experience defining moments of managing with limited information, time pressure and a dwindling budget. Almost as if 'parachuting' into an escalating conflict scenario, readers form critical relationships with characters that introduce them to management tools and techniques they need to arrive at a successful conclusion. The excitement and intensity of Conflict Minerals in the Democratic Republic of Congo equips business leaders of today and tomorrow with valuable know-how they can apply to the uncertainties of everyday business in an international context. 110 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Traditionally, the teaching of English pronunciation has been a marginalized, or indeed neglected, area in many English language teaching (ELT) programs despite the crucial role it plays in effective communication. In recent years, however, with the global spread of English as the means of international communication, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of pronunciation in the teaching and learning of English and its close link to other aspects of language learning, such as listening, speaking and vocabulary. Students as well as non-native English-speaking teachers (NNEST) place great importance on the mastery of English pronunciation, from which they can gain confidence, develop a greater sense of professional and linguistic competence and achieve greater intelligibility through the development of communicative skills in speaking, listening and vocabulary.With the emergence of paradigms of English as an international language (EIL), World Englishes (WE), English as a lingua franca (ELF) and the worldwide impact of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) on foreign language learning/teaching, this study presents a critical survey of these areas expressing the author's own views on the specific issue concerned while incorporating the views of other scholars. The book deals with both traditional and most recent viewpoints in pronunciation teaching, such as the nature of learning to pronounce, the pedagogical aims and objectives of teaching pronunciation, the role of the teacher and the notion of 'intelligibility', which is considered to be a highly controversial issue for international communication within the paradigms of EIL, ELF and WE. The 'Turkish-English Interlanguage Talk' has been dealt with as a case study proposing pedagogical recommendations particularly for the Turkish academics/teacher trainers and the student-teachers of English language teaching (ELT) in mind as English pronunciation teaching is a very much neglected area in the Turkish ELT today. 188 pp. Englisch.

The author chooses primary schools in the Nitra Self-governing Region in Slovakia as the sample, with an intention to find out if primary school learners in Slovakia understand the instructions to the written exercises they are given. He analyses the mistakes/errors they usually make, and judges the criteria for reaching the expected level of writing proficiency in English. Using the very same methodology, he compares a previous research with the current situation, taking all aspects into account. 192 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Les années 1969-1974 furent assurément un temps majeur de transition à la fois pour la coopération entre Paris et Bonn et pour la construction européenne. Un regard renouvelé s'impose. Cet ouvrage étudie les relations franco-allemandes sous un angle franco-allemand ; dresser la typologie des divergences-convergences permet de cerner consensus et compromis. Si De Gaulle et Adenauer ont solennellement proclamé la réconciliation entre les deux anciennes nations ennemies, c'est avec Georges Pompidou et Willy Brandt que le traité de l'Elysée va enfin être mis en oeuvre et que le moteur franco-allemand démarre vraiment. Dans leur politique extérieure face à l'URSS, Pompidou et Brandt parvinrent même à la fusion de leurs intérêts. Etudier au travers d'un champ de forces multiscalaires en constante action, surtout à partir de 1973, infirme le tableau convenu de l'' eurosclérose ' des années 1970. Ce livre éclaire ainsi d'un regard nouveau la deuxième phase de la construction européenne, alors que l'objectif pompidolien d'un ' gaullisme européen ' prenait forme. Ainsi peut-on mieux cibler les responsabilités, et mettre en évidence combien les relations internationales ont broyé ce take-off européen. 320 pp. Französisch.
