This textbook boosts the confidence of persons teaching Spanish as a second language, who may lack confidence in their understanding of tricky areas of expression. Their previous training did not enable them to control (much less explain to others) the many "danger zones" which challenge graduate students serving as teaching assistants, in-service teachers, and others who use Spanish professionally. It offers original and insightful analyses, abundant examples and helpful English comparisons. It disarticulates the machinery of grammar into manageable parts. It is not intended for those beginning to learn Spanish (since it skips the basics to focus on the "rough spots"), but is directed to those who know Spanish well, yet need to overcome their nagging limitations in obtuse areas, e.g. subjunctive, reflexives, pronouns (neuter, relative, personal), adjective placement, ser/estar, preterite/imperfect, commands, gender, passive and impersonal expressions. There are special sections devoted to words easily confused with each other, use of the accent mark, irregular verbs, and sentence structure. It is useful for self-study and to supplement texts in composition, culture and linguistics courses. It benefits native-speaker teachers unfamiliar with the "why" of their language, as well as buttressing anglophone instructors of scant linguistic background. The result is a better prepared teacher and a more promising learning experience for the students.

This book argues that, in line with the tenets of positive psychology in SLA and the rhetorical/relational goal theory, positive teacher-student interpersonal relationships are deemed to be of great significance for empowering students to accomplish favorable academic outcomes and to successfully learn a second/foreign language (L2), whether at its affective, behavioral, or cognitive levels. Therefore, understanding the role of teacher interpersonal behaviors and their effect on students' learning gains in the domain of SLA is of utmost importance, particularly as this line of research is at its nascent stage of development, and, as a result, available empirical evidence is still inconclusive. To address this issue, drawing on the mixed methods design, this book mainly aims to, first, empirically scrutinize the role of "5Cs" positive teacher interpersonal variables (i.e., care, clarity, closeness, confirmation, and credibility) in L2 students' affective, behavioral, and cognitive learning outcomes through the mediation of student-perceived learner empowerment in the L2 context of Iran. Second, it is intended to show how L2 teacher educators, teachers, and materials developers, among other key educational stakeholders, can facilitate the provision of interpersonally rich language learning environments with the ultimate goal of enhancing students' L2 learning.

This book is an attempt to pay deliberate attention to some silences on issues of social, cultural, and political importance that have remained unattended in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Using an analytical framework developed by the French philosopher and cultural theorist Michel de Certeau, the author demonstrates how silences can actively shape the boundaries of a scholarly field. He argues that a "geography of the forgotten" in the field of CALL undermines the transformative and social justice potential of language teaching by using digital technologies. The book will appeal to graduate students, teacher educators, and academic researchers who are looking for fresh perspectives and innovative ideas for integrating technologies into the curriculum and pedagogy of language education. Anwar Ahmed is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics at York University in Toronto, Canada.

Docenten die lesgeven in een vreemde taal, vertalen abstracte lesdoelen naar de lespraktijk. In Didactiek van het vreemdetalenonderwijs worden theorie en praktijk bij elkaar gebracht door analyse en verdieping te verbinden met praktijkervaringen. Daarmee draagt het boek bij aan de professionalisering van vreemdetaaldocenten. De auteur geeft een inleiding in de achtergronden van het vreemdetalenonderwijs, met onder meer een praktijkgerichte behandeling van de toetsproblematiek. Daarna volgt de didactiek van de vier taalvaardigheden (lezen, luisteren, schrijven en spreken) en van de deelvaardigheden (uitspraak/spelling, woordenschat en grammatica). Ten slotte komen kennis van land en volk en literatuur aan bod. Bij het boek hoort een website met extra voorbeelden van oefeningen uit leergangen Duits, Engels, Frans en Spaans, opdrachten voor verwerking, toepassing en eigen theorieontwikkeling, en een lijst met aanbevolen titels voor verder lezen en links.

"The volume provides a welcome addition to the literature. It contributes through the reframing of support for English as an Additional language (EAL) international students through the lens of 'academic literacies'. This approach, and the vignettes throughout, show how institutions can develop in learners the practices required to 'communicate with confidence, clarity and care'. The result will be thought-provoking reading for practitioners in the field, as well as university policy developers, management and leadership." - Thomas Roche, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic Quality) and Dean of SCU College at Southern Cross University at the Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour & Lismore campuses, Australia "A major strength of this book is the holistic and highly reflective approach it takes in addressing a persistent concern in higher education globally - the quality and impact of academic literacies provision. Its presentation of data-informed insights on this issue from the interlinked perspectives of institution, academic practitioner and student gives it an edge over similarly themed books, making it a must read for students, academics and policy makers alike." - Bongi Bangeni, Associate Professor, University of Cape Town, South Africa This book reinterprets the relevance, quality and impact of academic literacies provision at university in light of recent higher education developments in a pandemic-transformed world. Drawing on the author's own experience of researching, implementing and assessing academic literacies provision, and on insights from broader scholarship and professional debates, the book helps set a new direction of travel for academic literacies professionals working in a variety of roles to enable and resource students' academic and professional growth. It makes recommendations for policy, strategy and scholarship-informed practice that place value on communicating with confidence, clarity and care at university and beyond.
