A tous ceux et celles qui aiment lire, la Bibliothèque Orange propose une sélection diversifiée de nouveautés publiées en France. Il s'agit aussi bien d'auteurs français que d'écrivains étrangers traduits en langue française. Les abonnés à la B.O. sont réunis en groupes de lecteurs, animés par des responsables qui reçoivent en début d'année les ouvrages sélectionnés par le comité de lecture. Les livres sont ensuite mis en circulation à l'intérieur du groupe d'abonnés, qui se les transmettent les uns aux autres tout au long de l'année.

List of handbooks/guides for tandem programs in a variety of languages.

In writing my paper for the upcoming GloCALL Conference, I thought it would be useful to provide a bibliography of the many sources I came across while conducting a literature review. The irony is that the list below doesn't include blog posts themselves, as I have treated those as primary sources rather than secondary. I have also excluded more "general" articles on blogging in trying to retain a focus on second language learning (although a couple of works, such as danah boyd's article, slipped through because they present excellent arguments and provide a theoretical basis for BALL analysis).

My name is Penny Coutas and I am an EdD Candidate in the School of Education. My research involves exploring the use of ICTs for learning and teaching Languages in Western Australian government high schools. My main research website is at http://www.exploringthehyper.net, which should be up and running shortly! I'll be posting interesting websites, tools, and resources to this blog as I come across them during my studies at Murdoch.

This summary of some basic Japanese grammar has been derived from the Japanese grammar text books that were used at Swinburne University when I was studying Japanese there in the 1980s. Supplements Keith Smillie's introduction to Japanese grammar. The summary starts with the assumption that the reader knows the basic sentence structure, etc. Each grammatical point is briefly outlined, then followed by one or more examples. There is quite a lot of kanji in the examples, so I have added furigana to the ones a beginner might not recognize. The Swinburne course never used romaji. (The astute reader will note a certain Australian bias in the examples.)

Long page with notes about Japanese grammar. No claim is made for either originality or completeness in these notes. Most of the examples have been taken from, or have been suggested by, the references given at the end. The topics chosen are those which may benefit a person who is beginning to study Japanese and who would like a quick reference to supplement more complete and authoritative sources.
