Identity, Motivation, and Multilingual Education in Asian Contexts - Dr Wang Lixun - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Identity, Motivation, and Multilingual Education in Asian Contexts - Dr Wang Lixun - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book investigates how learners’ motivations and identities are constructed in the process of learning and using multiple languages in Asian contexts. It presents examples of multilingual contexts in different parts of Asia and illustrates various achievements and challenges associated with multilingual education. Drawing on recent theoretical developments regarding learners’ motivations and identities in language learning-related research, this book uncovers learners’ motivations that underlie their decisions of learning multiple languages in Asian contexts. Through empirical studies, the authors offer conceptual interpretations on emerging concepts such as dual-motivation system, motivation dynamics, motivational transformation episodes, and hierarchies of identities. In addition to being highly relevant to researchers of applied linguistics, this book is a valuable reference for every university and college library that serves a faculty or school of education.

BT Fast Tank - Steven J. (author) Zaloga - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

BT Fast Tank - Steven J. (author) Zaloga - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

When the Red Army needed to mechanize its cavalry branch in the 1930s, the BT fast tank was its solution. Based on the American Christie high-speed tank, the Red Army began a program to adapt the design to its own needs. Early versions were mechanically unreliable and poorly armed but by the mid-1930s, the BT-5 emerged, armed with an excellent dual-purpose 45mm gun. It saw its combat debut in the Spanish Civil War in 1937 and was later used in the border battles with the Japanese Kwangtung Army in the late 1930s. The final production series, the BT-7, was the most refined version of the family.One of the most common types in Red Army service in the first years of the Second World War, BT tanks saw extensive combat in Poland, Finland, and the opening phases of Operation Barbarossa in 1941 and latterly during the 1945 campaign against the Japanese in Manchuria – this is the story of their design and development history.

YOU ARE GOING TO DIE and THIS IS NOT CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT - Adam Scott Rowley - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

YOU ARE GOING TO DIE and THIS IS NOT CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT - Adam Scott Rowley - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Existential Figure silently screams. Everything is wiped clean. The fabric of reality starts to fall apart. Grieving Figure finds themself on a hillside. Eyes staring back from the darkness. A dual edition of actor, writer and theatre practitioner Adam Scott-Rowley’s most impactful works to date.Performed entirely naked, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE is a nail-biting descent into existential anxiety as humanity stares down the proverbial toilet. A surreal meditation on annihilation that rests on the knife edge between physical theatre and performance art. Ideograms and archetypal forms offer a shared purge illuminating the darkest corners of the human psyche while revealing compassion and humour in the most unlikely of places. THIS IS NOT CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT is a brutally intense and darkly comic piece that unveils the bizarre, compulsive and eccentric nature of humanity. Thunderous and fiercely grotesque, this piece utilises Adam Scott-Rowley’s practice of The Sensitised Theatre to create a sharp political comment on contemporary society.This edition was published to coincide with YOU ARE GOING TO DIE playing at Southwark Playhouse, London, in April 2024 produced by The Production Exchange.

The Good Person of Szechwan - Bertolt Brecht - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

''Brecht''s dark, dazzling world-view...makes an absolutely devastating impact. The play is fuelled by the brilliant perception that everyone requires such a dual or split personality to survive.''

This unique bilingual edition allows students to compare the original German text with a translation by one of the world''s leading playwrights, Tony Kushner.

The English translation by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner is original and accessible. Contemporary, lively language makes it the perfect English version to elucidate and compare with the original text. This edition also includes a critical introduction and commentary notes on particular words and phrases.

The Wandering Vine - Nina Caplan - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Wandering Vine - Nina Caplan - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

WINNER OF THE FORTNUM & MASON FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS DEBUT DRINK BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 WINNER OF THE LOUIS ROEDERER INTERNATIONAL WINE BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2018 ‘Wine is alive, ageing and changing, but it’s also a triumph over death. These grapes should rot. Instead they ferment. What better magic potion could there be, to convey us to the past?’ Impelled by a dual thirst, for wine and for knowledge, Nina Caplan follows the vine into the past, wandering from Champagne’s ancient chalk to the mountains of Campania, via the crumbling Roman ruins that flank the river Rhône and the remote slopes of Priorat in Catalonia.She meets people whose character, stubbornness and sometimes, borderline craziness makes their wine great: an intrepid Englishman planting on rabbit-infested Downs, a glamorous eagle-chasing Spaniard and an Italian lawyer obsessed with reviving Falernian, legendary wine of the Romans. In the course of her travels, she drinks a lot and learns a lot: about dead conquerors and living wines, forgotten zealots and – in vino veritas , as Pliny said – about herself. In this lyrical and charming book, Nina Caplan drinks in order to remember and travels in order to understand the meaning of home. This is narrative travel writing at its best.

In Other Words - Jhumpa Lahiri - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In Other Words - Jhumpa Lahiri - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

_______________ ''A passionate love letter to language and to Italy ... a bold and quirkily engaging self-portrait'' - Lee Langley, Spectator ''A writer of uncommon elegance and poise'' - New York Times ''A fascinating account of her linguistic exile'' - Erica Wagner, Harper’s Bazaar _______________ In Other Words is a revelation. It is at heart a love story of a long and sometimes difficult courtship, and a passion that verges on obsession: that of a writer for another language. For Jhumpa Lahiri, that love was for Italian, which first captivated and capsized her during a trip to Florence after college. Although Lahiri studied Italian for many years afterwards, true mastery had always eluded her.Seeking full immersion, she decided to move to Rome with her family, for ‘a trial by fire, a sort of baptism’ into a new language and world. There, she began to read and to write – initially in her journal – solely in Italian. In Other Words , an autobiographical work written in Italian, investigates the process of learning to express oneself in another language, and describes the journey of a writer seeking a new voice.Presented in a dual-language format, this is a wholly original book about exile, linguistic and otherwise, written with an intensity and clarity not seen since Vladimir Nabokov: a startling act of self-reflection and a provocative exploration of belonging and reinvention.
