Title: Book: Recherches Récentes en FLE
Body: From http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?event=cmp.ccc.seitenstruktur.detailseiten&seitentyp=produkt&pk=65413&concordeid=431129 Recherches récentes en FLE Edited by Alain Kamber and Carine Skupien Dekens Published by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers Synopsis: Ce volume réunit des contributions représentant différents axes de la recherche portant sur l'enseignement/apprentissage des langues vivantes, et particulièrement du français, présentées lors du colloque de l'AFLS (Association for French Language Studies), qui s'est tenu à Neuchâtel en septembre 2009. Les études de terrain apportent des éléments de réponses concrètes aux questions que se pose tout enseignant de français langue étrangère. Elles portent notamment sur l'apprentissage de la phonologie du français, la construction du discours oral ainsi que les convergences de l'oral et de l'écrit. L'acquisition de compétences sociolinguistiques par les apprenants, les facteurs favorisant ou entravant l'apprentissage de la langue pour les immigrants sont également l'objet de recherches empiriques décrites dans ce livre. Enfin, des propositions didactiques sont présentées pour permettre un enseignement plus efficace du lexique et de la grammaire. Alliant des thématiques, des méthodes et des points de vue variés, ce livre donne un aperçu de la recherche en français langue étrangère propre à stimuler d'autres études dans le domaine.

Title: Glossaries Alive: Hindi Vocabulary Lessons and Practice
Body: From http://hindiurduflagship.org These recordings introduce the main vocabulary used in Complete Hindi (formerly Teach Yourself Hindi); but they can be used independently of any book, and should be useful for anyone beginning to learn Hindi. They give the Hindi equivalents for common English words and expressions, show how they can be used in context, and drill some of them. The idea is simply to make the words come alive as you hear them pronounced; you’ll also pick up some useful phrases, and reading the words on screen will help you develop your recognition of the Hindi script. Occasionally there is a little conversation or a little grammar. The Glossaries Alive website is available at http://hindiurduflagship.org/resources/learning-teaching/glossaries-alive

Title: New book: Tamil Language in Context: A Comprehensive Approach to Learning Tamil
Body: Title: Tamil Language in Context: A comprehensive approach to learning Tamil Author: Vasu Renganathan Published by the University of Pennsylvania This book has just been published along with a DVD containing all of the audio and video files in addition to the entire content of the website http://www.southasia.upenn.edu/tamil . The lessons in this book represent a much improved version of the web materials with a pedagogically organized content comprising of graded glossaries, readings, cultural information, grammar, and dialogues. A detailed grammar of Tamil in a graded fashion from simple to complex forms, a comprehensive discussion on the culture, customs and habits of Tamils, illustrations on the diglossic nature of Tamil, discussion on foreign language influence in Tamil and agglutinative property of Tamil words are some of the information that are covered in this book rather thoroughly. A distinction between formal and informal variety of Tamil is maintained throughout the book so as to learn both written and spoken forms of Tamil in a systematic manner. The videos that are included in the DVD illustrate select number of speech situations as filmed in authentic speech contexts in Tamil Nadu. Importantly, this book is not only meant for Tamil language learners of both heritage and non-native speakers (beginning to advanced learners), it can also be used by native speakers of Tamil and Tamil researchers who intend to learn about the Tamil language from both linguistic and sociological points of views. This book is made available for purchase from the link: http://www.thetamillanguage.com/book
