Title: Book: Perspectives on Language Learning Materials Development
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/Index.cfm?vLang=E&vSiteID=4&vSiteName=BookDetail.cfm&VID=11863 Perspectives on Language Learning Materials Development Edited by Freda Mishan and Angela Chambers Published by the Peter Lang Publishing Group Summary: Language learning materials development remains a surprisingly under-supported aspect of language teaching. This book constitutes a much-needed resource in the area, aiming to support and advance the craft of materials design. The volume offers a snapshot of the contemporary influences on language learning materials development from diverse perspectives around the globe. These influences include the demands of teaching ESOL in Britain and Ireland, the impact of Corpus Linguistics, the needs of young learners and of diverse worldwide audiences, the development of intercultural competence, as well as the integration of L2 acquisition research. Contributors to the volume are drawn from a broad range of teaching, research and materials development backgrounds. The book includes some chapters based on papers given at the MATSDA (Materials Development Association) 2008 conference.

Title: Book: Bilingual
Body: From http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?recid=29740 Title: Bilingual: Life and Reality Author: François Grosjean Publisher: Harvard University Press Description: In a lively and often entertaining book, an international authority on bilingualism, son of an English mother and a French father, explores the many facets of bilingualism. In this book, François Grosjean draws on research, interviews, autobiographies, and the engaging examples of bilingual authors. He describes the various strategies—some useful, some not—used by parents raising bilingual children, explains how children easily pick up and forget languages, and considers how bilingualism affects the experience and expression of emotions, thoughts, and dreams. This book shows that speaking two or more languages is not a sign of intelligence, evasiveness, cultural alienation, or political disloyalty. For millions of people, it’s simply a way of navigating the complexities of life. Visit the publisher’s website at http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?recid=29740
