Baron Axel Heyst and his lover, Lena, a woman he saved from a sordid life, share an idyllic existence on the island of Samburan, until three intruders from Lena's past threaten to destroy their happiness. This concise supplement to Joseph Conrad's Victory helps students understand the overall structure of the work, actions and motivations of the characters, and the social and cultural perspectives of the author. Joseph Conrad, born Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, (1857-1924) was a Polish-born novelist who spent most of his adult life in Britain. He is regarded as one of the greatest English novelists, which is even more notable because he did not learn to speak English well until he was in his 20s. He is recognized as a master prose stylist.
Helping Students to Speak assumes that many teachers find it difficult to persuade their students to speak English regularly in the classroom.
The book examines the reasons for this – both from the point of view of the teacher and of the student – and provides practical ways of improving the situation, motivating students more and increasing their ability to speak English both in and outside the classroom. These ideas are all supported by a range of activities for you to try out in class.

This landmark study in the area of adult biliteracy shows precisely how Mexican immigrant workers-especially "illegal aliens"-use the alphabet to write down spoken English outside the classroom. Based on 4 years of intensive fieldwork in a rural community.
Tomбs Kalmar's book is a charming combination of personal experience and erudite scholarship, written in an engaging fashion. The author's treatment of the politics of biliteracy, from the fruit-groves of the Midwest to the halls of academe, is both passionate and clear-sighted. The alert reader will also enjoy observing evidence of Kalmar's wide-ranging interests threading through the fabric of the book, notably his fondness for music and his fascination with mathematical and proto-mathematical thinking.
