  Task-based grammar teaching of...

  The focus on communication in TBLT often comes at the expense of form. This book enhances the task-based approach by connecting it to insights from (cognitive) grammar, which sees grammar as meaningful. It shows how grammar teaching can be integrated into a communicative lesson in a non-explicit way. Learners are involved in situations that they may also encounter outside their classrooms and are given communicative tasks they are to work on and solve. What teachers need to invest for preparing such lessons is their own creativity, as they have to come up with meaningful communicative situations which guide the learners into using a specific structure. The book discusses the didactic and linguistic theories involved and translates the theoretical perspectives into actual teaching practice, focusing on the grammatical phenomena tense (present tense, past tense, present perfect), aspect, modality, reported speech, conditionals, passive voice, prepositions, phrasal verbs, verb complementation, pronouns and articles.

  State of Disaster - The Failure...

  Maria Cristina Garcia

  Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in this critical history of U.S. policy on migration in the Global South, there is actually no such thing as a "climate refugee" under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work. 
   
   
   
  Garcia focuses on Central America and the Caribbean, where natural disasters have repeatedly worsened poverty, inequality, and domestic and international political tensions. She explains that the creation of better U.S. policy for those escaping disasters is severely limited by the 1980 Refugee Act, which continues to be applied almost exclusively for reasons of persecution directly related to politics, race, religion, and identity. Garcia contends that the United States must transform its outdated migration policies to address today's realities. Climate change and natural disasters are here to stay, and much of the human devastation left in their wake is essentially a policy choice.

  The effort to destroy facts and make America ungovernable didn't come out of nowhere. It is the culmination of seventy years of strategic denialism. In On Disinformation, Lee McIntyre shows how the war on facts began, and how ordinary citizens can fight back against the scourge of disinformation that is now threatening the very fabric of our society. Drawing on his twenty years of experience as a scholar of science denial, McIntyre explains how autocrats wield disinformation to manipulate a populace and deny obvious realities, why the best way to combat disinformation is to disrupt its spread, and most importantly, how we can win the war on truth. 
   
   
   
  McIntyre goes through the history of strategic denialism to show how we arrived at this precarious political moment and identifies the creators, amplifiers, and believers of disinformation. On Disinformation lays out ten everyday practical steps that we can take as ordinary citizens—from resisting polarization to pressuring our Congresspeople to regulate social media—as well as the important steps our government (if we elect the right leaders) must take. 
   
   
   
  On Disinformation empowers us to save our republic from autocracy before it is too late.
