Title: Book: Corpora and Language Teaching
Body: From http://www.benjamins.com/cgi-bin/t_bookview.cgi?bookid=SCL%2033 Title: Corpora and Language Teaching Edited by Karin Aijmer Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company Summary: The articles in this edited volume discuss the role and effectiveness of corpora and corpus-linguistic techniques for language teaching but also deal with broader issues such as the relationship between corpora and second language teaching and how the different perspectives of foreign language teachers and applied linguists can be reconciled. A number of concrete examples are given of how authentic corpus material can be used for different learning activities in the classroom. It is also shown how specific learner problems for example in the area of phraseology can be studied on the basis of learner corpora and textbook corpora. On the basis of learner corpora of speech and writing it is further shown that even advanced learners of English are uncertain about stylistic and text type differences.

Title: Book: Creating Classroom Communities of Learning
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847691125 Creating Classroom Communities of Learning Edited by Roger Barnard and Maria E. Torres-Guzman Publisher: Multilingual Matters Summary: The case studies in this book are based on transcripts of classroom interaction in nine different countries. In each chapter, the first author explains the specific context and through a theoretical and/or experiential perspective interprets the transcript data. The data are then re-interpreted by other authors in the book, illustrating the complexity and richness of interpretation and creating a dialogue among the book's contributors. At the end of each chapter, readers are then invited with assistance to join in the conversation by providing their own interpretations of other transcript data from the same context. The book will be useful for student teachers or practicing professionals, as well as all educators interested in exploratory classroom research.
