Teaching techniques in English as a second language.
Series Editors: Russell N.Campbell and William E. Rutherford
Techniques and Resources in Teaching Grammar is for teachers who are asking whether, when, and how to teach grammar. It addresses general questions of grammar in ESL theory and classroom practice. Ideas for teaching grammar creatively are suggested, including specific suggestions for most beginning-level structures. This book includes 11 chapters: background, getting ready to teach grammar, listening and responding, telling stories, dramatic activities and roleplay, picture, realia and the classroom, graphics, songs and verse, games and problem-solving activities, text-based exercises and activities.
This is the newest title extensive 501 Verbs series, this book will prove especially valuable to ESL students and those preparing to take the TOEFL exam. It also serves as an excellent summary of verb forms for use in any English grammar course. Each verb is presented alphabetically, one verb per page, with the page head showing the verb in its infinitive form. The verb's principal parts are then given in active and passive voices above a table format in which the verb is listed, in its first-, second-, and third-person singular and plural forms in all tenses. The book's supplementary sections cover general rules of grammar and usage, an extensive list with examples of phrasal verbs, and another 500 "problem" verbs with their principal parts. 501 Verb titles in nine other languages with English translations.
Research monograph presenting a new approach to Computational Linguistics The ultimate goal of Computational Linguistics is to teach the computer to understand Natural Language. This research monograph presents a description of English according to algorithms which can be programmed into a computer to analyse natural language texts. The algorithmic approach uses series of instructions, written in Natural Language and organised in flow charts, with the aim of analysing certain aspects of the grammar of a sentence. One problem with text processing is the difficulty in distinguishing word forms that belong to parts of speech taken out of context. In order to solve this problem, Hristo Georgiev starts with the assumption that every word is either a verb or a non-verb. Form here he presents an algorithm which allows the computer to recognise parts of speech which to a human would be obvious though the meaning of the words. Emphasis for a computer is placed on verbs, nouns, participles and adjectives. English Algorithmic Grammar presents information for computers to recognise tenses, syntax, parsing, reference, and clauses.
