ENGLISH FOR EVERYDAY SPEAKING
Author: Sutanto Leo
Publisher: Penerbit Andi
ISBN: 6230108968
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
It is said that school leavers in Indonesia are not able to speak English confidently. They have no courage to speak, even though they actually feel that they have something to say in their mind. They are afraid to make mistakes when speaking because they never feel happy with their English grammar and vocabulary at school. English for Everyday Speaking is directed at those who have learned English and have no courage to speak but want to practice their spoken English. This book is not only suitably used by high school students, university students, language centers, English course learners and English speaking club members as a main course book for speaking, but also for employees, workers, staff, teachers, employers or members of a family as a core handbook for language practice during their leisure time. This book covers very common daily topics which everyone is familiar with, such as Daily Activities, Personal Information, Family Life, Culture, Sport, Housemaids, Hobbies and Interests, Smoking and Drinking, Music, Health, Education, School Life, Love, Holiday, Food and Drink, Marriage, Sex, Demonstrations & Strikes, Terrorism, Crime and Prisons, Debates, etc. The questions, which are intended to arouse learners to speak, are generally simple to answer for ordinary learners. They need practical ideas or knowledge but do not need deep academic or scientific knowledge to answer them. However, if the group of learners have more advanced knowledge about the topics and are interested to delve deeper on the topics, there are also some possibilities to do so. English for Everyday Speaking is designed by an experienced English teacher. In addition, these materials have been tried out at STP Bandung, STBA, Maranatha University, the Center at Jl. Setiabudhi, Bandung and some other language centers.

Enacting English across Borders
Author: Raqib Chowdhury
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443867187
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This book houses contemporary theoretical and empirical studies by emergent researchers and scholars in the disciplines of ELT, Applied Linguistics and TESOL who address several newly-emerged and emerging issues in the field from their own contexts (predominantly Asian settings). Each chapter, in its own unique way, challenges, unpacks and critiques existing misconceptions and pre-conceived assumptions of the use, learning and teaching of English in today’s fluid and globalised, postmodern era. While some contributors to the book have brought such issues to the forefront through a critical consideration of histories and policies, others have explored how English is enacted, practised, learned, and/or taught across a wide range of settings in order to further illustrate the various manifestations of the worldwide expansion of the language. Together the chapters of this book highlight the current discrepancies and inconsistencies in different areas of interest in the field of ELT, and provide carefully considered suggestions on how to address these issues.

Educational Policies and Practices of English-Speaking Refugee Resettlement Countries
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900440189X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Since 2014, the international community has felt overwhelmed by refugees and asylum seekers searching for opportunities in which to rebuild their lives. Indeed, large numbers can result in turmoil and concern in resettlement countries and with national citizens. A climate of fear can result, especially if perpetuated by politicians and media that suggest negative effects resulting from immigration. Caught in the crossfire of social and political disagreements about migration are children, most of whom are not included in decisions to leave their homelands. This edited book examines their academic challenges from the perspective of the six English-speaking refugee resettlement countries. Our hope is not only to compare challenges, but also to describe successes by which teachers and policymakers can consider new approaches to help refugee and asylum-seeking children. Educational Policies and Practices of English-Speaking Refugee Resettlement Countries offers perspectives from established and new scholars examining educational situations for refugees and asylum seekers. The top three resettlement countries are the United States, Canada, and Australia. For its size, New Zealand is also proportionately a country of high resettlement. New to resettlement are the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Thus, this collection includes wisdom from countries that began resettlement during World War Two as well as newcomers to the process. In 2018, UNHCR numbers of displaced people reached a record high of 68.5 million. Policymakers, teachers, social service providers, and the general public need to understand ways to help resettled refugees become productive members in their new countries of residence. Contributors are: Samantha Arnold, Asih Asikin-Garmager, Melanie Baak, Sally Baker, Zhiyan Basharati, Briana Byers, Merike Darmody, Lucia Dore, Ain A. Grooms, Maria Hayward, Asher Hirsch, Amanda Hiorth, Caroline Lenette, Leslie Ann Locke, Duhita Mahatmya, Jody L. McBrien, Rory Mc Daid, Helen Murphy, Tara Ross, Jan Stewart, and Elizabeth P.
