English for Academic Purposes
The analysis of academic genres and the use of corpus resources, methods and analytical tools are now central to a great deal of research into English for Academic Purposes (EAP). Both genre analysis and corpus investigations have revealed the patterning of academic texts, at the levels of lexicogrammar and discourse, and have led to richer understandings of the variations in such patterning between genres and between disciplines. The thirteen contributions included in this volume address issues in academic discourse studies from a range of perspectives: namely, corpus-based research into EAP at the lexicogrammatical and genre levels (Section 1); intercultural EAP research (Section 2); English as a Lingua Franca in academic communication (Section 3); and the relationships between corpus, genre and pedagogy in EAP, with an emphasis on implications and applications (Section 4). The collection is aimed primarily at teachers, students and researchers of EAP and applied corpus linguistics, but will also interest applied linguists in general. The emphasis of the contributions varies from studies with predominantly linguistic orientations to those focussing on practical applications.

New Challenges for Language Testing
The main focus of this volume is test development and accreditation requirements and needs. One of the major objectives here is to show the key aspects of the application of assessment in higher education and the systems of accreditation. Thanks to its unique perspective, it offers a different approach on various aspects of second language assessment. As universities are one of the best arenas for the analysis of language testing, the book thoroughly prepares higher education teachers to apply pilot studies and shows students’ responses to new testing techniques and accreditation requirements. It offers an enlightening guide for scholars with an academic interest in acquiring the basic principles of language testing and accreditation, providing real cases of how new ways of testing and accreditation can be useful to second language teachers and students. Readers will not only come to understand how to use new testing strategies, but also have the opportunity to see that the proposals described in each chapter may be useful to language assessment and motivation of students.
Emily Dickinson
Los lectores de Emily Dickinson (Amherst, Massachusetts, 1830-1866) se cuentan por millares, tanto en el mundo de habla inglesa como fuera de él. El enorme interés que sus versos siguen despertando se finca en una sensibilidad lírica y una capacidad de recreación emotiva y visual que rebosan los límites espaciales de sus sucintas aunque complejas piezas poéticas. La lengua española ha recibido, en varias latitudes y por medio de un buen número de traductores y poetas, la poesía de Dickinson con múltiples variantes, formas, aspectos y significaciones, durante ya muchos años. Juan Carlos Calvillo (poeta, traductor e investigador de El Colegio de México), en las incisivas y puntillosas páginas de 'Emily Dickinson: un estudio de poesía en traducción al español', explora lo que significa para el traductor hispánico enfrentarse a la obra de una figura señera de la lírica mundial. El autor ofrece aquí un análisis de varios intentos de traslado de los versos de Dickinson a la lengua española y presenta criterios mediante los que se pueda determinar el nivel de éxito que distintos traductores han alcanzado en cada de una de sus considerables empresas.
