Summary

Although there are several teaching methodology books for teachers on the market, there is little if anything specifically focused on how to teach English to Spanish speakers.  The large and growing Hispanic community in the United States that wants and needs to learn English along with the daily-increasing demand for English classes in Latin American countries underline the need for an instructional text such as this one.
 "How to Teach English to Spanish Speakers" is a comprehensive introduction to teaching . English to students with Spanish-language backgrounds.  It provides practical step-by-step guidance for new teachers and offers fresh ideas for more experienced teachers.  It is also ideal for English translators and native English speakers who wish to give English classes.  his resource book examines straightforward teaching procedures, underlying pedagogy and fundamental principles of teaching English, and includes a considerable variety of classroom and research approaches for language instruction.  It suggests practical pedagogic options while exploring various teaching methodologies, comprehensive strategies and effective methods for teaching and developing one's own distinctive teaching style.  It analyzes the crucially important qualities of an effective English teacher.  
The most critical reason for this book is to look into what we teach, whom we teach, where we teach and, above all, how we can most successfully teach.  Through valuable insights and personal experiences of working with different learning styles, predominant intelligences and different ways of building confidence, it discusses teaching and the learning process, classroom management and different ways to improve learners' listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.  It also provides clear explanations as well as examples of class observations, lesson and unit plans, and offers reliable procedures, practical tips and activities  for teaching Spanish-speaking children, adolescents and adults from beginning to advanced language levels.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The suspenseful true story of a love that defied Nazi oppression, and a harrowing journey to freedom. 
     
     
      
    In 1945, Ditha Bruncel was living with her parents in the small town of Lossen, in Upper Silesia. Close Jewish friends had vanished, swastikas hung from every building, and neighbors were disappearing in the middle of the night. At the same time more than fifteen hundred British and Commonwealth airmen were being marched out of Stalag Luft VII, a POW camp in the same region. Twenty-three of these prisoners managed to escape from the marching column—and by chance hobbled into Lossen. One among them, Warrant Officer Gordon Slowey, was the man Ditha was destined to meet and fall in love with. 
     
     
      
    Into Enemy Arms tells the extraordinary story of Ditha and the escaped POWs she helped save. Together, they embarked on a dangerous and daring flight out of Germany. As they faced exhaustion, hunger, extreme cold, and the constant risk of discovery, Ditha and Gordon's love for one another intensified, and so did their determination to survive and escape.

    Medieval Bosnia: The Turbulent...

    Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II.  
    That war had been the byproduct of centuries of tensions in the Balkans, and an attempt in the wake of World War I to redraw the political boundaries of Europe and the Middle East. That included forming the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a particularly fragile enterprise, and there was almost constant tension between the majority Serbs and the other Yugoslav nationalities, especially the Croats.  
    Depending on the source, many authors have focused on different catalysts for Yugoslavia’s demise, but Vesna Drapac may have succinctly summed the situation up when he wrote that by the end, the state “lacked a reason to exist.” There is certainly something in this sentiment, but the disintegration came at an enormous cost. 
    Given what happened in Yugoslavia, it should be little surprise that Bosnia did not have its fully-established borders until the 19th century, and even in modern times, in many respects the people distinguished and defined Bosnia as a polity more than its shifting borders, and regardless of whether Bosnia operated as an independent state or kingdom. It was during the Middle Ages that Bosnia’s culture and ethnic makeup truly began to coalesce, despite the politically rocky nature of the era in the Balkans.

    The Grammar of Self - Collected...

    In THE GRAMMAR OF SELF, George Watt presents a lifetime of memories, which seemingly move at random from decade to decade, from continent to continent, from cosmos to microcosm. It does have one central goal: to look at poetry as an attempt towards objectification of aspects of personal identity, as a means through which the self may be confronted, challenged and celebrated. But the volume of verse does more than that as it subscribes to a notion from Thomas Szasz about the self: it is “not something that one finds. It is something that one creates.” (T.S. Szasz, The Second Sin (New York: Anchor Press, 1973, p. 49.) This volume accepts that the poetic text, or multiples thereof, is one means through which a self finds articulation. This articulation is open-ended, chaotic, composed of innumerable experiential fragments that come from deed, time, place and person. The self in this volume is composed of psychic jigsaw pieces (single poems) each of which assert their right to placement, but which will never collate into a perfect picture. This volume of poetry is a collection of many of these pieces, which together present an incomplete movement towards Szaszian self-creation.
