Keys to Teaching Grammar to English Language Learners: A Practical Handbook
by Keith S. Folse Betty S. AzarKeys to Teaching Grammar to English Language Learners: A Practical Handbook is not intended to be an exhaustive reference book about ESL grammar. Written for classroom teachers (K-12, ESL, EFL), this book teaches the most common ESL grammar points in an accessible way through real ESL errors together with suggested teaching techniques. Relevant grammar terminology is explained. <P><P> The four objectives of this book are to help teachers: (1) identify common ESL grammar points and understand the details associated with each one; (2) improve their ability to answer any grammar question on the spot (when on the “hot seat”); (3) anticipate common ESL errors by grammar point, by first language, and/or by proficiency level; and (4) develop more effective grammar/language learning lessons. These objectives are for all teachers, whether they are teaching grammar directly or indirectly in a variety of classes – including a grammar class, a writing class, a speaking class, an ESP class, or a K-12 class. <P><P> In the Second Edition, all chapters have been updated and substantively revised. The number of marginal (gray) boxes with tips and extra information has doubled. A 16th Key, on Negating, and three new appendixes have been added. One of the new appendixes provides a sample exercise from an actual ESL textbook plus relevant notes about the designing of grammar activities and suggestions for teaching each grammar point. <P><P> Also added to each Key is a section on the vocabulary items (e.g., collocations) that are related to the teaching of that particular grammar point. This information is unique to this edition and cannot be found elsewhere on the market. <P><P> The Workbook for the Second Edition (978-0-472-03679-0), available in 2017, includes numerous activities that practice the essentials of grammar and issues relevant to ESL teachers.
The Khoesan Languages (Routledge Language Family Series)
by Rainer VossenThe Routledge Language Family series is aimed at undergraduates and postgraduates of linguistics and language, and those with an interest in historical linguistics, linguistic anthropology and language development. According to a widely accepted hypothesis, the Khoesan languages represent the smallest of the four language phyla in Africa, geographically distributed mainly in Botswana and Namibia. Today, only 30 or so Khoesan languages may still exist, with about 300,000 native speakers. In other words, most Khoesan languages were already extinct before a sound scholarly interest in them could begin to develop. Drawing together a distinguished group of international experts, with much of the material taken from data collected by the authors’ own field work, this volume presents descriptive, typological, historical-comparative and sociolinguistic material on Khoesan. The Khoesan Languages contains eight sections: an introduction, an overview of genetic relationships, a typological survey and profile of Khoesan, four chapters covering core linguistic areas of Khoesan phonetics and phonology, tonology, morphology and syntax, and a final chapter tackling major issues in Khoesan sociolinguistics, as well as discussions of language contact. Comprehensive and scholarly, yet also lucid in its coverage of a broad range of languages, dialects and sub-groups, this unprecedented and original work represents the current state of Khoesan linguistics.

Kids Having Kids: Economic Costs and Social Consequences of Teen Pregnancy (Routledge Revivals)
by Rebecca A. MaynardPublished in 1997. Adolescent mothers are more likely to encounter a variety of economic and social ills than women who delay childbearing until they are adults. This work is a comprehensive examination of the extent to which these undesirable outcomes are attributable to teen pregnancy itself rather than to the wider environment in which most of the pregnancies and the subsequent child-rearing take place.

Kite Kè m Pale
by Jacques PierreIn his latest collection of poetry, Kite Kè m pale (Let My Heart Speak), Jacques speaks lovingly and eloquently about those, including women, who have faced and continue to face difficulties and injustice. His poetry sometimes resorts to uncommon forms of Kreyòl such as jagon and bolit to better expressed that which cannot conveyed commonly, and expose everyone to the linguistic wealth of the country.
Kite Kè m Pale
by Jacques PierreJacques Pierre louvri kè l de batan nan Kite kè m pale pou l envite nou viv kouman entimite ak pwoblèm sosyal pran randevou nan menm kalfou. Powèt la fotografye difikilte ak kouran santiman ki travèse lavi medam yo. Epi, li wete chapo li byen ba pou li salye kouraj Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, ak lòt lidè ki pa te pè batay pou yon minorite ki pran nan cho, e yo mete nan kacho souvan poutèt po yo. Pou fini, li envite nou viv de twa powèm nan langaj jagon ak bolit, epi yon katafal lòt ki fè yonn ak pafen lawouze nou jwenn nan bèl lang nou an.Rekèy powèm sa a se yon envitasyon otè a fè nou tout pou nou dekouvri bèlte lang nou an. Nan chak grenn mo, otè a plonje kè nou nan lanmè Karayib la, kote vag yo fè nanm nou tonbe nan yon ale vini jouk kouran lanmou an rale nou pou nou fè yonn ak powèm yo. -Wedsly Turenne GuerrierLang nou ak kilti nou se rezilta kreyativite nou ki pran nanm nan lavi chak kretyen vivan. Se sa potorik otè Jacques Pierre fè nan rekèy sa a. Pierre marinen lang nou ak kilti nou ansanm pou ofri nou yon konsonmen kreyativite ki se temwayaj richès kiltirèl ak lengwistik Ayiti cheri nou an. -Marky Jean-Pierre
Knowledge, Competence, and Communication: Chomsky, Freire, Searle, and Communicative Language Teaching
by William H. WalcottIn Knowledge, Competence, and Communication, author William H. Walcott debates the meaning of creating equitable and critical instructional practices by exploring diverse representations of knowledge. He covers both historically important topics and current issues: such as colonialism, multiculturalism, gender and language learning, and popular culture. He then presents a systematic and painstaking assessment of Noam Chomsky's and Paulo Freire's theories of knowledge and their educational relevance. In the end, Walcott makes his case for the Freireian approach-conscientizacao; it is the Freireian, with its sociological connection (necessitated by the global context of inequality), which, he believes, needs take precedence as a pedagogical practice.
Konfuzianisches Ethos und westliche Wissenschaft: Wang Guowei (1877-1927) und das Ringen um das moderne China (Monumenta Serica Monograph Series)
by Hu QiuhuaThis study in German offers profound insights into the life and thoughts of Wang Guowei (1877-1927). Like many intellectuals who strongly perceived the necessity of reforms in the waning years of the Late Qing dynasty, i.e. after the Opium wars, Wang sought to strengthen China's position against foreign, in particular Western, powers. Contrary to earlier approaches, which either advocated a close adherence to Confucian traditions or tried to adapt only elements of Western material culture, mainly industrial and military technology, Wang Guowei aimed at reviving traditional Chinese culture by analysing its source texts using a modern scientific approach (and thereby started the discipline of guoxue [national studies]) and simultaneously adapting compatible elements of Western immaterial culture. Thus, Wang became known as an authority on Chinese paleography as well as on German philosophy, especially Kantian epistomology.
Korean: A Linguistic Introduction (Klear Textbooks In Korean Language Ser. #No. 34)
by Sungdai Cho John WhitmanIn this accessible survey, two leading specialists introduce a broad range of topics in Korean linguistics, including the general historical background of the language, its phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics, and the interfaces between those areas.

It guides the student through the major issues in Korean linguistics in a theory-neutral way, at the same time discussing the latest research on the language, and exploring its unique writing system, which has long been a topic of interest to linguists and to those interested in writing systems in general. It is the ideal introduction for students both at the beginning of their studies, and at a more advanced level.
