{"product_id":"literature-spoken-language-and-speaking-christian-jones-9781108472944","title":"Literature, Spoken Language and Speaking Skills in Second Language Learning","description":"The use of literature in second language teaching has been advocated for a number of years, yet despite this there have only been a limited number of studies which have sought to investigate its effects. Fewer still have focused on its potential effects as a model of spoken language or as a vehicle to develop speaking skills. Drawing upon multiple research studies, this volume fills that gap to explore how literature is used to develop speaking skills in second language learners. The volume is divided into two sections: literature and spoken language and literature and speaking skills. The first section focuses on studies exploring the use of literature to raise awareness of spoken language features, whilst the second investigates its potential as a vehicle to develop speaking skills. Each section contains studies with different designs and in various contexts including China, Japan and the UK. The research designs used mean that the chapters contain clear implications for classroom pedagogy and research in different contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110847294X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108472944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Christian Jones","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924104184063,"sku":"9781108472944","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0cd2ad01-dd57-4dcd-886a-01feb0be208b.jpg?v=1681068499","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/literature-spoken-language-and-speaking-christian-jones-9781108472944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
