REFRAMING ENGLISH EDUCATION IN ASIA

By: Evelyn Doman

English language teaching (ELT) has changed dramatically over the past decade in Asia, an area of the world where English is taught as a foreign language, rather than a second language. A drastic movement has been made from the traditional Grammar-Translation Method to more communicative approaches to teaching and learning, such as project-based and task-based learning. In this book, the authors outline the development of ELT in Asia in the past decade in the wider context of educational reform in the region which puts greater value on the acquisition of English and in student-centered classrooms. Given the growing importance of English and the enormous energy and enthusiasm in the region for learning the language in both formal and informal contexts, ELT will continue to flourish. University and secondary school teachers and researchers from five different Asian countries share methodologies and innovative programs that they have found to be successful in their classrooms, including ideas for technology-enhanced language learning. This volume offers insight into the daily academic lives of secondary and university English language classrooms across the region and shows how English is currently being reframed in this vibrant region.

Love in Any Language

A Memoir of a Cross-cultural Marriage

By: Evelyn Kohl LaTorre

Love across cultures is tested when Antonio, a penniless university student, and Evelyn, a strong-willed Peace Corps volunteer, succumb to their attraction to one another at the end of her two-year commitment in Peru and Evelyn gets pregnant. Deeply in love, the twenty-three-year-olds marry in Cusco—and decide to begin their married life in Northern California. Evelyn, like most wives of the ’60s and ’70s, expects her husband to support their family. And Antonio tries to take his place as head of the household, but he must first learn English, complete college, and find an adequate job. To make ends meet, Evelyn secures full-time positions, leaving their infant son in the care of others, and they both go on to attend college—she for two years, he for six. Then Antonio is offered a full-time professorship at the university he attended in Peru, and he takes it—leaving Evelyn a single parent. Parenthood, financial stress, the pull of both countries, and long visits from Antonio’s mother threaten to destroy the bonds that brought them together. Clear-eyed and frank, Love in Any Language illustrates the trials and joys in the blending of two cultures.

Shopping in the Renaissance

Consumer Cultures in Italy 1400-1600

By: Evelyn S. Welch,Professor of Renaissance Studies Evelyn Welch,Lecturer Evelyn Welch

Shopping was as important in the Renaissance as it is in the 21st century. This book breaks new ground in the area of Renaissance material culture, focussing on the marketplace in its various aspects, ranging from middle-class to courtly consumption and from the provision of foodstuffs to the acquisition of antiquities and holy relics. It asks how men and women of different social classes went out into the streets, squares and shops to buy the goods they needed and wanted on a daily or on a once-in-a-lifetime basis during the Renaissance period. Drawing on a detailed mixture of archival, literary and visual sources, she exposes the fears, anxieties and social possibilities of the Renaissance marketplace. Thereafter, Welch looks at the impact these attitudes had on the developing urban spaces of Renaissance cities, before turning to more transient forms of sales such as fairs, auctions and lotteries. In the third section, she examines the consumers themselves, asking how the mental, verbal and visual images of the market shaped the business of buying and selling. Finally, the book explores two seemingly very different types of commodities - antiquities and indulgences, both of which posed dramatic challenges to contemporary notions of market value and to the concept of commodification itself.

Pasta, Meatballs, and Apple Pie

Our Son John, A Love Story

By: Evelyn Fraterrigo Artale

Along with raising a child who has learning disabilities comes many challenges which have to be dealt with and decisions which have to be made. They are not always easy. This book tells the story about a little boy born in Italy who was adopted by a couple living in New Jersey, USA. Upon examination by a doctor, who was a pediatric neurologist, the couple was informed that the child was neurologically impaired, would never be normal, and would cause them to live a very difficult life. He advised them to return the child. The news was unexpected, shocking, and cause for concern. How would it affect their lives? Would they be able to handle it? This child was their son whom they loved dearly. Returning him was not an option. Instead they decided to do whatever they could to help him to learn, to be happy, and to do what was best for him. The journey began, a journey which took them to places they never could've imagined. Many doctors, many tests, many different schools, each having an impact on their lives. The couple knew, however, that God had a reason for bringing that little boy into their lives and that no matter what the future held, love, together with hope, faith, and trust in God would get them through it.

Departing from Tradition

Innovations in English Language Teaching and Learning

By: Jay Bidal,Evelyn Doman

English language teaching methods and language learning styles have changed dramatically over the past decade in Asia and the surrounding regions. Huge efforts are being made by teachers from the K-12 system, as well as at the tertiary level, to move away from the traditional Grammar-Translation Method towards more communicative approaches to teaching and learning, including the use of project – and task-based learning and technology-enhanced language learning, just to name a few of the more frequently used methodologies. In this book, the authors shed light on the changes in ELT in Asia and the region over the past 10 years or so as seen in the wider context of language policy, which puts greater value on the acquisition of English and the new directions in learner-centered classrooms which encourage student autonomy and voice and place students as active decision-makers in the learning process.With the title of “Departing from Tradition: Innovations in English Language Teaching and Learning”, this book showcases some of the innovations in ELT that are currently happening in this rapidly growing field. Given the growing importance of English and the enormous energy and enthusiasm in the region for learning the language in both formal and informal contexts, ELT will continue to flourish. This volume will offer insights into the tremendous changes that have been made in secondary and university English language classrooms across the region.
