Pimsleur Language Courses

 

Pimsleur Language Courses are most probably the easiest and certainly a very efficient way to learn a foreign language.

Unless with other language courses, with Pimsleur language courses you can leanr a language 'passively'. I.e. by simply listening to these audio books, your brain is successively trained to pick up the new laguage. It works the same as you learned your mother tongue when you were a baby.

Exposure to a new language, if done the Pimsler way (Pimsleur method) is a highly efficient and convenient language learning system.

Second Language Acquisition: An Introductory Course 

Second Language Acquisition: An Introductory Course (Topics in Applied Psycholinguistics)

Amazon Price: $44.95 (as of 10/11/2008)
List Price: $49.95

The new and updated edition of this bestselling introductory textbook is a comprehensive overview of the field of second language acquisition. In an easy-to-read accessible style, it provides students with information about the scope of the field, but also provides background information on related areas such as first language acquisition. The book introduces students to current issues of data collection and data analysis, as well as provides an historical overview of the field, thus giving students context and perspective about how today?Ts issues arise from earlier approaches.

Each chapter offers discussion questions and/or problems so that students can put their knowledge to use in a way that is relevant to what they have learned, but that also challenges them to go beyond what is in the chapter and to relate information across chapters.

The book covers a range of areas of second language research including sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and linguistic perspectives. It also includes a chapter on the lexicon and on instructed second language learning. The concluding chapter pulls the information in the previous chapters together into a coherent framework that challenges students to think about the field of second language acquisition as a whole.

Designing Language Courses: A Guide for Teachers 

Designing Language Courses: A Guide for Teachers

Amazon Price: $25.71 (as of 10/11/2008)
List Price: $38.95

This book by Kathleen Graves is one of the best for teachers of foreign languages that I have ever read. This gives a wonderful guideline for each step of the curriculum creation process. You'll get lots of advice on how to assess you students' needs, how to focus on their needs, and how to adapt textbooks to serve their learning need more effectively. I recommend this for every beginning language teacher if you haven't read this in your training already. I didn't read this until I was eight years into my career, and I wish I had been able to read it earlier. -- T. Hooper "thdizzy" (Kyoto, Japan)

About sudever

Hi, I'm Susan and I love languages!

Since I discovered the Pimsleur audios,  I've been brushing up and learning new languages with these audio books. It's so easy and a lot of fun, that I decided to make lenses on these language courses. Give them a try, you'll love the easy experience and the fun of learning!


Currently I'm learning french with audio books, it's going well - Mais oui!
