In "Teaching Literature" scholars explain how they think about their everyday experience in the classroom, using the tools of their ongoing scholarly projects and engaging with current debates in literary studies. Until recently, teaching has played second fiddle to literary research as a mode of knowledge in academia, leaving new teachers with nowhere to turn for advice about teaching and no forum for discussion of the difficulties and opportunities they face in the classroom.

Teaching Chunks of Language is a motivating new resource book based on the fundamental assumptions of the so-called lexical (or ''chunk teaching'') approach. Language as used by native speakers consists substantially of memorized multi-word chunks (e.g. by the way). For learners of a foreign language, knowledge of chunks is strongly associated with important aspects of proficiency such as oral fluency and naturalness of expression. The challenging question for foreign learners therefore is this: How can many chunks be committed to active, long-term memory? Teaching Chunks of Language suggests a communicative approach to the teaching of chunks of language. Most of the activities presented are decidedly communicative and involve a lot of speaking and listening as well as intensive reading and some writing.

Today, when bureaucracy and the university-as-business view prevail in academic evolution, we stop to pay homage to an excellent professional and person who retires, Elizabeth Adams. Some of her colleagues gather here to dedicate a few kind words and their own work to her. This book includes papers on various areas of English Studies such as research methodology, literature (especially poetry), pragmatics, the art of teaching, pronunciation and its transcription, linguistic acquisition, and even painting.

Most teachers and researchers would agree that any success or failure in language learning is largely dependent on the learner''s motivation to learn the foreign language. But what is motivation? This text asks this and other related questions and summarizes the various facets of motivation.

¿Puede emocionar la etimología de una palabra? ¿Hacer reír? ¿Dejar boquiabierto? Este libro cree que sí, y relata las aventuras insólitas de algunos vocablos por los mares de los siglos. Los nombres de animales mas curiosos (como el murcielago, que en latin significaba raton cieguecito); gentilicios como aegypthiacus, que de designar a los egipcios paso a significar aciago (¡pobres egipcios!); o palabras como trenza, cuaderno o siesta, cuyos nombres se remontan al de los numeros 3, 4 y 6 respectivamente. Las voces de origen mas enigmatico, las que son un macabro culebron, las que son un caso digno de Sherlock Holmes. Todas se unen en una obra que, sin desdeñar el rigor filologico, aborda la etimologia en un tono desenfadado y burlon que tiene como objeto primordial provocar el asombro, despertar curiosidades, arrancar la carcajada y, por supuesto, enseñar.
