Teaching English Overseas: An Introduction
This book focuses on the ways in which social, political, economic, and cultural factors can influence language teaching, and looks at the effects of a country's educational and institutional structure on the English-learning classroom.
Bilingualism through Schooling
Bilingualism Through Schooling is a comprehensive survey of bilingual education. It shows how bilingual schooling can have a double impact by providing students with functional second-language competence, and also contributing to their deeper understanding of culture and history. Concerned with both ethnolinguistic minority children and majority, English-speaking pupils, the book approaches bilingualism from a variety of perspectives—linguistic, psychological, and socio-cultural. Among the many topics discussed are: goals and consequences of bilingualism, sociolinguistic contexts, language attitudes, and proficiency assessment. Ramirez explores the various types of programs and techniques used to facilitate second-language acquisition and also provides guidelines for the preparation and certification of bilingual instructors. Bibliographies are included.
The Context of Foreign Language Teaching
This book applies sociolinguistics, or sociology, to the problem of teaching foreign languages. The authors use a method they call Transactional Engineering Analysis, employing the findings of sociology to the teaching of the basic skills in language learning. This method uses pattern practices to synthesize the elements of pronunciation, vocabulary, and sentence pattern recognition to allow language learners to absorb the rules governing conversational interchanges in the subject language. The appendices include examples of the patterns illustrated in the preceding text.
