User-Centered Computer Aided Language Learning In the field of computer aided language learning (CALL), there is a
need for emphasizing the importance of the user. User-Centered Computer
Aided Language Learning presents methodologies, strategies, and design
approaches for building interfaces for a user-centered CALL
environment, creating a deeper understanding of the opportunities and
challenges of the field. User-Centered Computer Aided Language Learning
acts as a guide to help educators, administrators, professionals and
researchers find the basis of a framework for the development and
management of CALL environments that are enriched with many domains and
take into account interaction and activity, which go beyond the basic
linguistic elements of the field.
The Arabic Language and National Identity: A Study in Ideology
Considering the communicative and symbolic roles of language in
articulating national identity, Yasir Suleiman provides a fresh
perspective on nationalism in the Middle East. The links between
language and nationalism are delineated and he demonstrates how this
has been articulated over the past two centuries.
Straddling the domains
of cultural and political nationalism, Suleiman examines the Arab past
(looking at the interpretation and reinvention of tradition, and
myth-making); the clash between Arab and Turkish
cultural nationalism in the 19th and early 20th century; readings of
canonical treatises on the topic of Arab cultural nationalism, the
major ideological trends linking language to territorial nationalism;
and provides a research agenda for the study of language and
nationalism in the Arab context.
This the first full-scale study of this important topic and will be
of interest to students of nationalism, Arab and comparative politics,
Arabic Studies, history, cultural studies and sociolinguistics.
A formidable and influential work, Language and Death sheds a highly original light on issues central to Continental philosophy, literary theory, deconstruction, hermeneutics, and speech-act theory. Focusing especially on the incompatible philosophical systems of Hegel and Heidegger within the space of negativity, Giorgio Agamben offers a rigorous reading of numerous philosophical and poetic works to examine how these issues have been traditionally explored. Agamben argues that the human being is not just “speaking” and “mortal” but irreducibly “social” and “ethical.” Giorgio Agamben teaches philosophy at the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris and at the University of Macerata in Italy. He is the author of Means without End (2000), Stanzas (1993), and The Coming Community (1993), all published by the University of Minnesota Press. Karen E. Pinkus is professor of French and Italian at the University of Southern California. Michael Hardt is professor of literature and romance studies at Duke University.
Artificial Intelligence in Second Language Learning: Raising Error Awareness (Second Language Acquisition) This volume argues that adults can learn English as a second language if their typical errors are corrected systematically and in line with their preferred style of learning. The remedy designed for this purpose relies on artificial intelligence. The book describes original research which demonstrates the success of this approach.
