| Title | New Book: Learning the Arts of Linguistic Survival |
| Body | From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/multi/display.asp?isb=184541053X Learning the Arts of Linguistic Survival: Languaging, Tourism, Life By Alison M. Phipps Summary: This ground-breaking book examines what happens when tourists learn to speak other languages. From ordering a coffee to following directions, Alison Phipps argues passionately for a new perception of the relationship between tourism and languages from one based on the acquisition of basic, functional skills to one which sustains and even strengthens intercultural dialogue. This book will be essential reading for all those interested in tourism studies and in modern languages education. It is a timely study, coming at a time of crisis in languages, as English exerts its power as a world language and as a dominant language of tourism.
