A small volcanic island just south of he Arctic Circle, lceland is a place of fierce natural beauty and warmly hospitable people. Glaciers and fjords punctuate the coastline while geysers, waterfalls and hot springs dot the interior, harnessed by Icelanders to provide geothermal and hydropower energy. The island itself is composed primarily of basalt, or cooled lava. Icelandic retains ancient characteristics that today have been lost by most Western European languages. A North Germanic language related to Faroese, it is grammatically comparable to Latin or Ancient Greek, but is most closely linked to Old Norse. Written Icelandic has changed very little since the 13th century. Icelanders take the preservation of their language very seriously, and are immensely proud of the fact that the 800-year old sagas can still be read today. "Beginner's Icelandic" contains 14 lessons structured to help the student traveller gain ease and familiarity with this noble language. The dialogues follow a variety of practical situations such as shopping, transportation, discussing the weather, eating in restaurants, and renting a car or a room, while building on the grammar, vocabulary and phrases learned in previous exercises. The audio CDs follow the dialogues on the page, so that the student benefits from seeing the script while simultaneously hearing the pronunciation. A glossary of words and colloquialisms rounds out this remarkable introduction to a unique language. { 220pp, 140x215mm, July 2009; PB, £20.85, 0781811910:9780781811910 , Hippocrene Books } |

| LANGUAGE LEARNING IN THE MULTICULTURAL CLASSROOM : English in a European & Global Perspective [Marko Modiano] This book provides educators and teacher trainees with a basis upon which to develop teaching and learning methodologies that accommodate the multicultural classroom. A number of new perspectives are scrutinised, among them English as an International Language, Mid-Atlantic English, and Euro-English. The book begins with a survey of the English language. Here, standard language ideologies and traditional teaching and learning practices, it is argued, are found to be obsolete because of the advent of Europeanisation and globalisation. Alternative language ideologies which reveal how conventional foreign-language teaching methodologies impede rather than promote the acquisition of intercultural competence are then investigated. Novel conceptualisations of language are presented which bring pluralism and multiculturalism centre-stage. { 229pp, 155x230mm, October 2009; PB, £34.00, 9144053398:9789144053394 , Studentlitteratur AB } |

| SPANISH FALSE FRIENDS & OTHER TRAPS : A Guide to Translating English Into / From Spanish [Raúl Gáler] What are 'false friends'? In Spanish, the word 'actual' is spelled the same as in English but has a completely different meaning. These 'false friends' share the same etymology but their historical development has diverged and today they are not synonymous. Numerous examples of these perplexing cognates are given in this Glossary to help translators in their work. Definitions of usage are given throughout. As illustrations of words that could mislead a translator, paired homonyms and words with a similar etymology are given. Also included are expressions that might confuse. This is the most up-to-date volume of its kind. { 208pp, 152x228mm, May 2008; PB, £16.99, 0781811783:9780781811781 , Hippocrene Books } |
