Denise Cloonan Cortez de Andersen
Northeastern Illinois University
Contornos del Habla is designed to introduce
students of diverse backgrounds and different
levels of language ability to Spanish phonetics
and phonology. Written completely in Spanish,
it provides clear and engaging explanations of
important linguistic concepts, from the more
basic to the more challenging.
This book is accessible to students of all
learning styles and intelligences because it
incorporates a variety of exercises, including
more advanced “field work.” The final chapter
is dedicated to this type of comprehensive
research, providing students with the
opportunity to select their own linguistic
consultant, collect and analyze data, and draw
independent conclusions.
Contornos del Habla includes several unique
features:
q New concepts are recycled throughout the
book to help students synthesize information
and develop critical thinking skills.
q Many exercises use realia to engage
students in real-life activities and to represent
the diversity of the Spanish language.
q The early chapters provide essential
background knowledge on the history of
the Spanish language and how it evolved
from Latin, which gives students the proper
context for studying current dialectal change.
q The website for the book includes audio
and workbook materials.

Sonidos en contexto
Una introducción a la fonética del español

Terrell Morgan, The Ohio State University
Sonidos en contexto is a comprehensive, theory-independent
description of Spanish phonetics and phonology for
intermediate to advanced students. It provides articulatory
descriptions of native pronunciations, as well as practical
advice on producing native-like sounds and a logical
progression of exercises leading to that end.
What sets this book apart from other phonetics texts is
its emphasis on real-world examples of spoken Spanish,
using native pronunciation modeled in natural contexts.
While other available texts stress phonetic theory, this one
provides hands-on activities that are entertaining, culturally
framed, and relevant to students’ interests and experiences.
The book also includes an instructor’s manual, as well as
engaging, colorful exercises in the text, photos of realia, and
a high quality and very diverse 6-hour audio program.

Analyse, genre, histoire
R.-J. Berg
À la rencontre du cinéma français: analyse, genre, histoire is intended to serve as the core
textbook in a wide variety of upper-level undergraduate and graduate French cinema
courses. In contrast to content-, theme-, or issue-based approaches to film, Professor
Berg stresses “the cinema¬tic¬ally specific, the warp and fabric of the film itself, the stuff
of which it is made.” Sufficient proficiency in French is the sole prerequisite: “No previous
back¬ground in film studies is assumed, nor is any prior acquain¬tance with French
cinema. It will help, of course, to like movies, and to have seen quite a few…” (from the
preface).
R.-J. Berg is the author of widely used textbooks on literature (Littérature française: textes
et contextes, vols. I and II) and business French (Parlons affaires! Initiation au français
économique et commercial).

Arabic Second Language Acquisition of

Morphosyntax
Mohammad T. Alhawary, University of Oklahoma
While the demand for Arabic classes and preparation programs for Arabic language teachers has
increased, there is a notable gap in the field of linguistic research on learning Arabic as a second
language. Arabic Second Language Acquisition of Morphosyntax presents a data-driven and
systematic analysis of Arabic language acquisition that responds to this growing need.
Based on large data samples collected from longitudinal and cross-sectional studies, this
book explores a broad range of structures and acquisition issues. It also introduces new and
comprehensive research, and it documents the successes and problems that native speakers
of other languages, including English, Spanish, French, and Japanese, are likely to encounter in
learning Arabic.
By integrating previously published findings with new research, the author has created a unified
and streamlined resource for teachers, teachers-in-training, linguists, Arabic textbook authors, and second-language
acquisition experts.

 LATIN

War with Hannibal

Authentic Latin Prose for the
Beginning Student
Brian Beyer, Montgomery High School in Skillman, NJ Beg

This edition of Book III of Eutropius’s Breviarium ab urbe
condita is designed to be a student’s first encounter with
authentic, unabridged Latin prose. Written in a simple
and direct style, the Breviarium covers the period of
Roman history that students find the most interesting—
the Second Punic War fought against Carthage—and
the original Latin text is supplemented with considerable
learning support. Full annotations on every page, detailed
commentary on grammar and syntax, and a glossary
designed specifically for the text allow students to build
both their confidence and their reading skills.
The commentary in the back of the book is cross-
referenced to the following commonly used textbooks:
q Wheelock’s Latin, 6th Edition
q Latin: An Intensive Course by Moreland and Fleischer
q Ecce Romani II, 3rd Edition
q Latin for Americans, Level 2
q Jenney’s Second Year Latin
q Allen and Greenough’s New Latin Grammar
Macrons have been added to the entire text in accordance
with the vowel quantities used in the Oxford Latin
Dictionary. Additional resources include an unannotated
version of the text for classroom use, supplementary
passages in English from other ancient authors, and
appendixes with a timeline of events and maps and
battle plans.
The text may be used in secondary schools and colleges
as early as the first year of study. The copious translation
help, notes, and cross-references also make it ideal for
independent learners.

Learning Chinese teaches basic conversational and literary skills in Mandarin. It is
designed to build language ability while stimulating learners’ curiosity about the
linguistic structures of the language as well as the geography, history, and culture
of China. Conversational lessons are separated from lessons on reading and writing
characters, allowing instructors to adapt the book to their students and to their
course goals.
Julian K. Wheatley is visiting associate professor of Chinese at the National Institute
of Education at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He was previously
senior lecturer in Foreign Languages and Literatures at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, and director of the MIT China Program.

A Basic Chinese Reader
Expanded Edition
Claudia Ross with Jocelyn Ross
Story by Fred Fang-yu Wang, Drawings by Luke Chen
The Lady in the Painting is the only full-length story written in Chinese for low-intermediate
level learners of Chinese as a foreign language. The story is told with vocabulary and structures
familiar to students who have completed a basic course in Chinese. Using an inventory of only
about 300 Chinese characters, it serves as an excellent transition between the short reading
passages that students encounter in a basic level Chinese course and the longer and more
Int
demanding passages in subsequent levels.
The original edition of the story has been widely used for decades as a supplementary reader
in Chinese language classes in the United States. This expanded version—which includes an The Lady in the
interactive CD-ROM—makes the story more accessible to learners in a number of ways.

Communicating in Chinese
An Interactive Approach to Beginning Chinese Beg
Cynthia Ning,
University of Hawai’i

Communicating in Chinese offers a proficiency-based approach to learning standard Mandarin.

Focusing on all four skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing), the program consists of a
series of graded tasks that approximate the real-life tasks that a student might face. Students
must learn and manipulate vocabulary and structures to achieve specific real-life ends.
The material covers a variety of daily interactions, including becoming acquainted, making
appointments, shopping, engaging in leisure activities, obtaining food and drink, and using
transportation. All of these activities are presented in context at home, in school, or in
common public places.

Kirdish-English Modern Int

Dictionary
Michael L. Chyet, Library of Congress;
With selected etymologies by Martin Schwartz
This dictionary focuses on modern use of the Kurmanji dialect
of Kurdish, which is spoken in Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and
parts of the former Soviet Union. It is the most comprehensive
Kurmanji-English volume ever composed. Michael L. Chyet,
renowned for his extensive knowledge of the major dialects
of Kurdish, provides a thorough documentation of the current
state of knowledge about the lexicon of the language.
Dictionary entries are extensive and include whenever
possible detailed etymologies, multiple meanings, variant
forms, sample sentences, synonyms, and inflections. These
materials will make the volume an invaluable reference for
linguists as well as for historians, anthropologists, folklorists,
and ethnologists.

Although Persian is one of the world’s oldest languages,
in its modern form it is still spoken by more than forty
million people in Iran and by more than twenty million
people elsewhere. These volumes provide students
from beginning to intermediate levels with a mastery
of modern Persian (also known as farsi) and with an
understanding of colloquial Persian.
The books offer extended vocabulary, grammar, and
essays on aspects of Iranian culture. Volume I emphasizes
speaking and understanding, and Volume 2 focuses on
the written language. The first to teach Persian as a living
language, Modern Persian incorporates the most effective
methodologies and the most recent cultural and linguistic
changes occurring in Iran.

Edited by Tammy Berberi,
University of Minnesota,

Elizabeth C. Hamilton,
Oberlin College
and Ian M. Sutherland,
Gallaudet University
Today’s foreign language
teachers are increasingly
expected to be skilled
in addressing multiple
intelligences and differing
learning styles, yet no reliable resources exist that consolidate
the best of what is known about the broad spectrum of
disabilities that are already or soon to be in our classrooms.
The first of its kind, Worlds Apart? offers critical and practical
essays with insights applicable across the language-teaching
spectrum. Written in English, Worlds Apart? brings together
scholars and teachers from around the world who examine
foreign language education from general requirements
through advanced literature and film courses to study
abroad, showing how to enable the success of students with
disabilities at every step of the way.

empirical research by Bailey and colleagues at the National
Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, Student

practitioners in the fields of language policy, testing
and instruction. The central focus of the chapters is the
research conducted by CRESST over the last two years in
an attempt to document the academic English language
demands placed on school-age learners of English. The
three additional chapters give the perspectives of a policy-
maker at the state level, test developers, and practitioners.

Cultural Globalization and

Language Education
B. Kumaravadivelu, San José State University
We live in a globalized and globalizing world that is marked by the twin processes of economic
globalization and cultural globalization. In this thought-provoking book, Kumaravadivelu explores
the impact of cultural globalization on second- and foreign-language education.
Kumaravadivelu examines in detail how the cultural component of second- and foreign-language
education has been informed by the Western notions of cultural assimilation, cultural pluralism,
and cultural hybridity. Drawing insights from international and interdisciplinary sources, he argues
that they have only a limited and limiting relevance to language education in the era of cultural
globalization.
Grounded in Western as well as non-Western perspectives, and written in an easily accessible style
that combines personal narrative and academic genre, this book is indispensable for graduate students, practicing teachers, teacher
educators, researchers, and others who are interested in exploring the complexity of cultural globalization and language education.
