Resumen: In this new edition there is a new chapter on teaching vocabulary, a section on discovery techniques, more on task-based learning and learner training, and a recognition of the change of perception about what communicative competence might be. Many of the categories of communicative activities have been rearranged and there is a more detailed account of teacher roles, together with a section on the use of the mother tongue. The sample lesson plan has been changed and the many examples from textbooks generally reflect the materials now in use rather than those which were current when the first edition came out. The structure of "The Practice of English Language Teaching" remains essentially the same. In part A; Background, the author looks at some of the theoretical concerns which influence the teaching of English as a foreign language. In part B, Practice, the author looks at study materials and techniques for teaching, and in part C, Management and Planning, he looks at how classrooms and students can be organized and what is the best way to prepare for a lesson. The appendix on materials evaluation should help anyone who is in a position to select the textbook which the students are going to use. "The Practice of Language Teaching" deals specifically with the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL). It is not focused especially on English as a second language (ESL) although much of the context of the book can be applied to that slightly different teaching situation. The book is directed at the teaching of "general" English; the teaching of English for specific purposes (ESP) does not form a major part of the work.

Resumen: First published in 1926, A Dictionary of Modern English Usage is one of the most celebrated reference books of the twentieth century. Commonly known as "Fowler," after its inimitable author, H.W. Fowler, it has sold more than a million copies and maintained a devoted following over seven decades, in large part because of its charming blend of information and good humor, delivered in the voice of a genial if somewhat idiosyncratic schoolmaster. Now this classic is available in a new edition--the first major revision since Fowler's original. Rewritten, updated, and expanded to take into account the vast linguistic changes of the past three-quarters of a century, here are thousands of alphabetically arranged entries, offering advice and background information on all aspects of the English language, from grammar to spelling to literary style. This masterful revision has been carried out by Robert Burchfield, hailed by The Chicago Tribune as "the greatest living lexicographer." In his hands, the MEU has retained its beloved traits--accessibility, authority, and (not least) personality--while acquiring new ones, most notably, up-to-the-minute currency. As in "Fowler," the new edition is a cornucopia of information on such troublesome areas as the plural form of foreign words (adagio, curriculum, memorandum, virus); related or like-sounding words (affect/effect, continual/continuous); rarely encountered literary terms (alcaics, alexandrine, arsis); and unusual inflected forms (for instance, taxi, taxis, taxiing). But there are also many innovations. Burchfield, who spent decades working on the Oxford English Dictionary, has introduced the OED's historical approach to the MEU, providing fascinating details on how and when new usages entered the language.

Resumen: David Crystal shows here what the benefits, as well as the problems, are in studying language in a scientific way. He places modern linguistics in historical perspective and traces in the present century six "ages" in its development, each with its dominant, and abiding theme. His central chapter discusses, one by one, phonetics, phonology, morphology, "surface" syntax, "deep" syntax, and lastly semantics.

Resumen: The recognition of the necessity of such a system of instruction has led to the introduction of the Linguaphone Method of teaching languages by means of specially prepared Language Records and appropriate text-books. The course is equally suitable for children and adults, for entire beginners and for those who have acquired a theoretical knowledge of the language and wish to become efficient in the spoken language. Full particulars as to the use of the book in conjunction with the records are given in the Students instructions supplied with the course.

Resumen: Intonation of colloquial English (British English) has been written for language students at intermediate to advanced level and for 1st year university students of phonetics. The authors analyse the intonation of English into a system of ten tone groups which, with their functions, are described in the early chapters of the book. Then comes an extensive series of practice drills with each tone group treated separately and in certain common tone group sequences: the functions of each tone group are made evident by means of Verbal Contexts which precede the drill sentences. Finally there is a number of dialogues demonstrating the ten tone groups in action within the framework of everyday conversational speech.

Resumen: It is beyond doubt that this book remains the most authoritative introduction to English phonetics. With this new edition, Cruttenden has contributed his part to safeguarding the place the book merits for the coming years; Linguistics, Reviewing the 5th edition Since its publication, Gimson's Pronunciation of English has been acknowledged as the standard description, both comprehensive and accessible, of spoken English: an essential book for anyone studying the sounds and tones of English or teaching English pronunciation and intonation to non-native speakers. This sixth edition has been substantia11y revised throughout, with particular emphasis on those areas that have seen rapid changes in the last five years. The chapter on standard and regional accents has been expanded to reflect accurately the changes in attitude to language standards, with particular focus on recently recognized variation within a wider Received Pronunciation, such as Estuary English. The new edition continues to provide valuable guidance on how to teach the sounds of English to foreign learners, for whom a new subsection on pronouncing dictionaries has been added. In addition, many other sections have been substantia11y rewritten, including those on the sy11able and phonotactics and on word accent, with new spectrograms added to improve the acoustic information. As with a11 previous editions of this classic work, great care has been taken to preserve the spirit of the original edition, so that Gimson's Pronunciation of English will maintain its position as the standard reference book in the field for many years to come. Alan Cruttenden is Professor of Phonetics at the University of Manchester, UK

Resumen: Exploring Phonetics and Pronunciation is aimed at all those intermediate and upper-intermediate students who think Phonetics is a boring and difficult subject, almost as hard as learning another language.

Resumen: In this book, the term "idiom" is used in a very wide sense. It is intended to include peculiar meanings of words and peculiar turns of expression which from long usage have become established in the english language. Hence it will readily be judged that it cannot pretend to be an exhaustive book. The appendix to this volume explains some of the common allusions to persons and incidents mentioned in the Bible.

Resumen: The author's preface states that A Communicative Grammar of English is intended primarily for the "advanced overseas student" who has learned English as a second language, but many professional communicators who speak English as a first language may also find this book useful. It is designed to give the maximm help to moreadvanced students of english, and for this reason employs a communicative rather than a structural approach. The main part of the grammar is consequently devoted to the uses of grammar and not to grammatical structure.

Resumen: El siguiente artículo tiene como finalidad presentar las diferentes teorías sobre el análisis de la entonación del inglés que les son de gran utilidad a los estudiantes de las carreras universitarias afines a este idioma. Este trabajo recorre los aspectos fundamentales del estudio de la entonación y ofrece ejemplos claros para que se puedan apreciar sus funciones en el contexto discursivo. Asimismo, el propósito del artículo es proveer de herramientas a los futuros traductores e intérpretes que los puedan ayudar a entender la forma en la que el lenguaje funciona en una manera comunicativa y de interacción. Para lograrlo, se debe tener en cuenta no sólo las palabras y los enunciados sino también las intenciones, las actitudes y los significados pragmáticos que van más allá de los aspectos lexicales y estructurales. Ser capaces de entender las funciones y los usos de la entonación del idioma inglés es de vital importancia para que los futuros profesionales decodifiquen los significados de sus interlocutores y, a su vez, les otorgue herramientas para que ellos mismos se comuniquen en el idioma extranjero de una manera precisa, clara, inteligible y comunicativa.
