Title: Book: English Language Learning Materials
Body: From http://www.continuumbooks.com/books/detail.aspx?BookId=136486&SearchType=Basic English Language Learning Materials A Critical Review edited by Brian Tomlinson published by Continuum Summary: This research collection presents a critical review of the materials used for learning English around the world. The first section includes a discussion of materials for specific learners and purposes, such as young learners, self-study, academic writing and general proficiency. The second section presents a detailed study of the materials used in Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa and Australia, and critically evaluates their effectiveness in the teaching of English to speakers of other languages. Taking both the teacher's and the learner's needs into consideration, the book makes a positive contribution to the future of research in materials development, and has practical applications. This comprehensive, critical analysis of materials in use around the world will be useful for academics researching materials development and applied linguistics and for students on post-graduate applied linguistics and ELT courses.

Title: Book: The Role of Pedagogical Translation in Second Language Acquisition
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=54444&concordeid=430087 The Role of Pedagogical Translation in Second Language Acquisition: From Theory to Practice by Vanessa Leonardi Published by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers Summary: Translation can help improve foreign language teaching and learning - this study shows how. In an increasingly globalized world and in an increasingly multilingual Europe, translation plays an important role. Significant signs of a new revival of translation in language teaching have become visible, as shown by recent literature on applied linguistics. This book contributes to this movement, embracing both a theoretical and an empirical purpose by integrating viewpoints from Applied Linguistics, Translation Studies and Second Language Acquisition. In an attempt to show how the use of translation in foreign language classes can help enhance and further improve reading, writing, speaking and listening skills, this work calls for a re-evaluation and a rehabilitation of the translation activities in the foreign language classes.
