Spanish Sentence Builders - A Lexicogrammar Approach


Book Description

This is the newly updated SECOND EDITION! This version has been fully re-checked for accuracy and re-formatted to make it even more user-friendly, following feedback after a full year of classroom use by thousands of teachers across the world. Spanish Sentence Builders is a workbook aimed at beginner to pre-intermediate students co-authored by two modern languages educators with over 40 years of extensive classroom experience between the two, both in the UK and internationally. This 'no-frills' book contains 19 units of work on very popular themes, jam-packed with graded vocabulary-building, reading, translation, retrieval practice and writing activities. Key vocabulary, lexical patterns and structures are recycled and interleaved throughout. Each unit includes: 1) A sentence builder modelling the target constructions; 2) A set of vocabulary building activities; 3) A set of narrow reading texts exploited through a range of tasks focusing on both the meaning and structural levels of the text; 4) A set of retrieval-practice translation tasks; 5) A set of writing tasks targeting essential micro-skills such as spelling, lexical retrieval, syntax, editing and communication of meaning. Based on the Extensive Processing Instruction (E.P.I.) principle that learners learn best from comprehensible and highly patterned input flooded with the target linguistic features, the authors have carefully designed each and every text and activity to enable the student to process and produce each item many times over. This occurs throughout each unit of work as well as in smaller grammar, vocabulary and question-skills micro-units located at regular intervals in the book, which aim at reinforcing the understanding and retention of the target grammar, vocabulary and question patterns.




The Middle English Weye of Paradys and the Middle French Voie de Paradis


Book Description

The late Middle English Weye of Paradys and its French source La Voie de Paradis use the theme of the allegorical journey to Paradise. Essentially they are popular guides to confession, adaptations for the layman of more specialized works in Latin such as Raymond of Pennaforte's Summa de Poenitentia. This edition presents critical texts of both The Weye of Paradys and La Voie de Paradis and analyzes the relations of the English text with its immediate (French) and distant (Latin) sources. This work makes the English and French texts available in print for the first time and places them in the wider field of popular penitential literature.




Jacques


Book Description

Plongez dans l'univers passionnant de « Jacques » de George Sand, une œuvre d'une intensité émotionnelle et d'une profondeur psychologique qui explore l'amour, la liberté et la condition humaine. Dans « Jacques », George Sand nous présente l'histoire d'un homme tourmenté par ses idéaux et ses émotions. Jacques, un personnage complexe et mélancolique, est un homme d'honneur qui épouse la jeune Fernande par amour. Cependant, cette union sera marquée par la jalousie, la méfiance et l'incompatibilité des désirs. Sand, avec une sensibilité unique, explore les conflits entre les attentes de la société, les aspirations personnelles et les réalités de l'amour. À travers le parcours de Jacques et Fernande, Sand pose des questions profondes sur la liberté individuelle, les sacrifices imposés par le mariage et la quête d'un amour authentique. Le roman aborde les thèmes de la jalousie destructrice, de l’émancipation des sentiments, et de l'égoïsme déguisé en vertu. Sand, en pionnière de la littérature féministe, brosse ici un portrait poignant des rôles de genre et des contraintes sociales de son époque. Le style de George Sand est à la fois poétique et introspectif, créant une atmosphère à la fois belle et tragique. Elle dépeint les paysages naturels comme un reflet des tourments intérieurs de ses personnages, ajoutant une dimension symbolique à l’histoire. « Jacques » est un roman profondément humain, qui pousse le lecteur à s'interroger sur la nature des relations amoureuses et sur le véritable sens du sacrifice. Avec sa capacité à capturer les subtilités des émotions humaines, George Sand signe ici une œuvre incontournable. « Jacques » est une lecture indispensable pour ceux qui cherchent un roman puissant sur les dilemmes du cœur et de l'âme. N'attendez plus pour découvrir ce chef-d'œuvre émouvant et intellectuellement stimulant.
