Title: 

Genre, Relevance and Global Coherence : The Pragmatics of Discourse Type

^TOP

Author:   

Christoph Unger

Call No: 

P302 U535

"Genre, Relevance and Global Coherence seeks to explain how discourse types or genre may influence the addressee's inferential processes in identifying the communicator's intention.  There are two main areas where such an influence is often felt : the interpretation of tense and aspect markers is often said to differ in various text types, and the communication of implicatures is said to differ in various talk-exchange types.  The first type of genre effects is usually approached by global coherence-based accounts whereas the second by proposals based on Gricean pragmatics.  This study examines both types of accounts, arguing that the key to a solution lies in the interplay of the cognitive and communicative principles of relevance proposed by Sperber and Wilson.  It unravels intricate relations between cognitive mechanisms, communicative principles and expectations of relevance in complex ostensive stimuli such as texts."

  • Assessment tools for differentiating levels of English proficiency are included throughout the text.
  • Differentiated listening/speaking strategies across levels of English proficiency.
  • Process writing strategies with assessment rubrics matched to genre and level of English proficiency help pre-service and in-service apply rubric assessment to the appropriate level of English proficiency.
  • Vocabulary development that fits the needs of the students is included in Chapter 4 so that pre-service and in-service teachers use concrete and representational ways to teach vocabulary.

Title:  From Corpus to Classroom : Language Use and Language Teaching ^TOP
Authors:   Anne O'Keeffe, Michael McCarthy, Ronald Carter
Call No:  PE1128 A2O44
 "From Corpus to Classroom summarises and makes accessible recent work in corpus research, focusing particularly on spoken data.  It is based on analysis of corpora such as CANCODE and the Cambridge International Corpus, and written with reference to corpus-informed pedagogy.  The book explains how corpora can be designed and used, and focuses on what they tell us about language teaching.  It examines the relevance of corpora to materials writers, course designers and language teachers and considers the needs of the learner in relation to authentic data.  It shows how the answers to key questions such as Is there a basic, everyday vocabulary for English?, How should idioms be taught? and What are the most common spoken language chunks? are best explored by means of a clearer understanding of the workings of language in context.
  • Explains in a clear and accessible way how to build your own corpus.
  • Includes real examples of language in use.
  • Represents the latest developments in corpus research."
