A groundbreaking NEW DVD-ROM Medical Spanish program 

Yale University Press and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 

are proud to announce a unique intermediate Spanish language and 

culture program for health professionals

Developed by the University of North 

Carolina at Chapel Hill 

New 

Intermediate 

Medical Spanish 

Welcome to !A su salud!, an intermediate-level interactive 

program designed for students and practicing 

healthcare professionals. !A su salud! encourages 

learners to practice Spanish in context. Learners work 

with vocabulary and grammar within the context 

of the telenovela La comunidad. This multimedia 

approach allows learners not just to absorb grammar 

and vocabulary but also to connect to other aspects of 

language that also carry meaning: where the conversation 

is taking place, who is speaking, the physical 

state of the speakers, the gestures that accompany 

the words, and the purpose of the exchange. 

The !A su salud! package includes two DVDs, one CD- 

ROM, and the Cuaderno (workbook). The two DVDs 

contain the telenovela La Comunidad, along with 

interactive exercises. The CD-ROM provides the software 

that makes !A su salud! interactive and adaptable 

for online learning, self-study, or a traditional 

classroom course. 

!A su salud! was developed by a team of healthcare professionals 

and Spanish-language educators at the University of North 

Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Cuaderno was written by Christine 

E. Cotton, Elizabeth Ely Tolman, and Julia Cardona Mack.

Voces hispanas siglo XXI 

Entrevistas con autores en DVD 

Elvira Sánchez-Blake and Maria Nowakowska Stycos 

“The main motivation for students to learn Spanish is to understand the 

culture and to be able to communicate with Spanish native speakers. 

Reading and discussing literary works is one of the best ways to 

achieve these objectives. This book—one of the first literary readers 

accompanied by a DVD—will be a hit.”—J. Eduardo Jaramillo- 

Zuluaga, Denison University 

An engaging collection of texts offers students of Spanish the opportunity 

to read works by thirteen contemporary Hispanic writers and then view 

those authors on DVD as they talk about their life and work. The authors 

come from different regions in Latin America and Spain, and one is a 

Latino from the United States. A variety of genres are represented in the 

book (narrative texts, plays, poems, and a chapter on oral narration), as 

well as a range of styles and themes. 

The innovative multimedia approach of Caleidoscopio enables students to 

hear the actual voices—and accents—of the authors and to gain an 

awareness of the cultural milieu in which the texts were created. 

Elvira Sánchez-Blake is senior lecturer in Spanish literature, Department 

of Romance Studies, Cornell University. Maria Nowakowska Stycos is 

senior lecturer in Spanish literature, Department of Romance Studies, 

Cornell University.

Pilar Piñar 

Beginning/ 

Intermediate 

“This book and video package 

could stand alone as the text of a 

conversation course or as a 

supplement for other courses. It 

puts the student in close contact 

with language and cultural 

production.”—José B. Alvarez, 

University of Georgia 

Español en Vivo emphasizes the 

richness of Hispanic culture and the 

variations of authentic spoken 

Spanish. Through filmed interviews 

with more than twenty native 

Spanish speakers, students are 

introduced to a variety of dialects 

that derive from differences in 

geographical area and other factors 

such as age, sex, ethnicity, and social status. 

The DVD contains forty-seven segments filmed in locations in Spain, 

Central America, and Latin America. Unrehearsed interviews with 

Spanish speakers deal with such aspects of life and culture as housing, 

family, the immigrant experience, cultural traditions, and politics. No 

other book or DVD presents the Spanish language in such a natural way, 

with speakers expressing themselves freely and using the real 

language of every day. 

Each of the book’s twenty chapters focuses on an aspect of the life and 

culture of people from one of seven countries in the Spanish-speaking 

world. Transcripts of interviews from the DVD are included in the book, 

as are notes on vocabulary, pronunciation, idioms, and cultural issues. 

Questions are provided to guide students’ comprehension of the DVD 

segments and direct their oral and written practice. 

Pilar Piñar is associate professor of Spanish at Gallaudet University.

La France et la Francophonie 

Mary Anne O´Neil 

Beginning/ 

Intermediate 

“This video and workbook offer an 

interesting and appealing way to 

give students snapshots of the 

French and Francophone culture 

while developing all four language 

skills.”—Christiane Laeufer, The 

Ohio State University 

This engaging video and accompanying 

workbook present a cross-section 

of French-speaking people from 

European, African, North American, 

and Caribbean countries talking 

about contemporary French culture. 

Designed as a resource for elementary 

to intermediate students, the 

video provides useful models of conversational 

French that increase comprehension and fluency 

in the language, and the workbook offers transcriptions of the conversations 

and notes on vocabulary and grammar in the interview, helping to 

improve reading skills. 

Students, teachers, farm workers, artisans, police, engineers, airline 

employees, and other people discuss many topics, including French 

family life, work, sports, politics, education, and technological achievements. 

One interview is in French sign language. Unrehearsed, spontaneous, 

and in a variety of regional accents, the conversations present 

contemporary French as it is actually spoken, in all its complexity and 

richness. 

Mary Anne O’Neil is professor of French at Whitman College, Walla Walla,

“This text would be excellent for 

an advanced French language course, to solidify grammar 

and composition skills while learning how to approach 

various styles of literary text. A weakness of such texts in 

the past has been the lack of engaging reading selections. 

This text addresses that problem by providing a variety 

of interesting and provocative literary selections.” 

—Cathleen Corrie, Baylor University 

This up-to-date and richly varied French language textbook is 

designed for intermediate-level students. Its aim is to 

promote ease and comprehension in reading while introducing 

students to twentieth-century Francophone literature. 

Founded upon the notion that in-depth learning can include 

materials and activities that employ a playful approach, 

Identité, Modernité, Texte shows students how literature is 

related to life and how to develop critical and analytical 

reading skills.

Kimberlee Campbell 

Beginning 

“This is an extremely innovative and valuable book 

that will give students the tools to analyze and 

discuss cultural identity in France and in Francophone 

countries. Échos cleverly brings together topics 

shared by French and English speakers around the 

world.”—Elizabeth Emery, Montclair State University 

“Kimberlee Campbell’s attractive little book Échos 

is a delight.”—Marian Jones, Times Educational 

Supplement 

This uniquely appealing book is an interdisciplinary 

introduction to French cultural studies designed for 

French-language students. The book employs a holistic 

approach, integrating French with texts and images that 

might be studied in fine art, anthropology, sociology, or 

history. As students think across and between these 

disciplines, they develop not only competence in the 

language but also an understanding of issues and 

questions relevant to Francophone society, past and 

present. 

Échos addresses French cultural identity issues far 

sooner than most language curricula do, guiding 

students to think about such topics even during their 

earliest language classes. Devised to allow for maximum 

flexibility, the book’s ten well-planned lessons can be 

used with a variety of primary textbooks and in any 

sequence.

The Yale Anthology of 

Twentieth-Century French Poetry 

Edited by Mary Ann Caws 

This eagerly anticipated volume is the first comprehensive bilingual 

representation of French poetic achievement in the twentieth 

century. Mary Ann Caws has selected the work of more than 100 

poets, an international roundup that includes numerous Francophone 

poets and many more female poets than have appeared in previous 

anthologies. English translations accompany each poem. 

“A monumental work that will serve as a point of reference for 

contemporary French studies for years to come. Reaching beyond 

canonical works and authors, it runs through culture at large with 

force and elegance. It will change the course of French studies.” 

—Tom Conley, Harvard University 

“This wide-ranging compendium of twentieth-century French poetry 

from Europe, Africa, and the Americas is indispensable for anyone 

interested in the art of the poem. Mary Ann Caws presents poems of 

dazzling formal invention, emotional pitch, and thematic scope. This 

edition, with facing pages of French and English, and a set of illuminating 

notes preceding each entry, is generous, capacious, and captivating.”—Charles 

Bernstein 

“Let’s raise a glass to Mary Ann Caws. . . . Her scholarship, editorial skills, 

and brilliant army of poet-translators have produced the first fully 

comprehensive, panoramic, one hundred-year vision of everything 

Francophone. . . . It’s all here, a fathomless case of champagne, 

deserving, as in Mallarmé’s Salut, ‘of the white care of our sail.’”

“An ambitious, adventurous, and unique book that gives 

intermediate-level students of Italian language and 

culture an exposure to new texts, authors, and ideas 

about contemporary Italian life and culture.” 

—David Ward, Wellesley College 

The name Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, has been 

used for centuries by European chroniclers and gazetteers in 

the titles of periodicals that have featured the latest news 

reports, anecdotes, short stories, and satires. This engaging 

book, an intermediate-level Italian text, offers an up-to-date 

and varied portrait of Italy’s language, culture, and society by 

presenting lively excerpts from its literature, news reports, 

comic books, film reviews, music lyrics, sociological surveys, 

and more. 

Every chapter in the book has a theme that is discussed from 

multiple points of view. The centerpiece of each chapter is a 

recent work of fiction, which interacts with other literary or 

sociocultural accounts (sometimes from English-language 

media outside Italy) to convey a meaningful representation 

of today’s multifaceted Italy. The book also includes 

numerous exercises on grammar and comprehension. 

Andrea Fedi is associate professor of Italian at the State 

University of New York, Stony Brook. Paolo Fasoli is associate 

professor of Italian at the City University of New York, Hunter 

campus.

Italian Through Film 

A Text for Italian Courses 

Antonello Borra and Cristina Pausini 

Beginning/ 

Intermediate 

“The choice of films is excellent, and the 

accompanying exercises are all valid and 

well constructed. Even the grammar 

exercises are appealing.” 

—Brian O’Connor, Boston College 

Focusing on contemporary Italian films, this 

book offers Italian-language teachers an 

exciting opportunity to incorporate authentic 

language in their classrooms. The book is 

adaptable for any level of language instruction 

and devotes one chapter to each of ten 

entertaining movies—among them Cinema 

Paradiso, La vita e bella, Mediterraneo, and Il 

postino. 

Pre-viewing, viewing, and post-viewing activities appropriate to the various 

films are included in each chapter. The exercises range in difficulty from 

elementary to highly sophisticated and are designed to enhance students’ 

vocabulary and cultural awareness as well as oral and written skills. Because 

the film chapters are arranged chronologically and not in order of 

increasing difficulty, teachers may place particular films in their syllabi at 

any stage of language instruction. Drawing on a fine selection of relevant 

Italian films, this inviting book effectively fosters a deeper understanding of 

both Italian language and culture. 


L’italiano con l’opera 

Lingua, cultura e conversazione 

Daniela Noè and Frances A. Boyd 

Beginning/ 

Intermediate 

“Noè and Boyd have taken popular 

Italian operas and transformed them 

into classroom/lab material for Italian 

language and culture students. A 

creative, well-planned and -executed 

project.”—Elizabeth H. D. Mazzocco, 

University of Massachusetts 

“An original and very stimulating use 

of the opera as cultural material for 

teaching the Italian language.” 

—Vincenzo Binetti, University of 

Michigan, Ann Arbor 

This exceptional book introduces six 

operas, including La Bohème, Otello, and 

La traviata, to intermediate students of 

Italian while engaging them in a rich variety 

of speaking, reading, and writing activities. As students learn about 

the characters, plots, settings, and themes of great operas, they also 

improve their vocabulary, accuracy, and fluency in Italian.

Ahlan wa Sahlan: 

Functional Modern 

Standard Arabic 

for Beginners 

Mahdi Alosh 

“A major advance in the way Arabic is taught 

and an outstanding new addition to the 

available materials on the subject.” 

—Roger Allen, University of Pennsylvania 

This textbook is designed to cover the first year 

of instruction in Modern Standard Arabic. 

Accompanied by an instructor’s manual and an 

audio program, it will teach students to read, 

speak, and write Arabic. 

The text presents an engaging story that 

involves Adnan, a Syrian student studying in 

the U.S., and Michael, an American student 

studying in Cairo. In diaries, letters, and 

postcards, the two students describe their 

thoughts and activities, revealing how a non- 

American views American culture and how the 

Arabic culture is experienced by an American 

student. The text also provides information 

about the geography of the Arab world, 

prominent characters in history, festivities in 

Arab culture, the media, daily life, and the 

family. Exercises in comprehension, vocabulary, 

grammar, and writing attend to both form and 

meaning and develop functional abilities and 

knowledge about the Arabic sound, writing, 

and language systems.

Modern Persian 

Spoken and Written, Volumes 1 and 2 

Beginning/ 

Intermediate 

Donald L. Stilo, Kamran Talattof, and Jerome W. Clinton 

“This book offers a bold new approach to the teaching of Persian to speakers of 

English in general and to university students in particular. It presents a genuinely 

forward-looking vision both of the language learning process and of 

instructional methodologies.”—Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak, University of Maryland 

Although Persian is one of the world’s oldest languages, in its modern form it is still 

spoken by more than forty million people in Iran and by more than twenty million 

people elsewhere. These volumes provide students from beginning to intermediate 

levels with a mastery of modern Persian (also known as farsi) and with an understanding 

of colloquial Persian. 

The books offer extended vocabulary, grammar, and essays on aspects of Iranian 

culture. Volume I emphasizes speaking and understanding, and Volume 2 focuses on 

the written language. The first to teach Persian as a living language, Modern Persian 

incorporates the most effective methodologies and the most recent cultural and 

linguistic changes occurring in Iran. 

Donald Stilo is a scientist at Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in 

Leipzig, Germany, working on the Northwest Iranian Language Project in the 

Linguistics Department. Kamran Talattof is associate professor of Near Eastern 

Studies at the University of Arizona, Tucson. Jerome W. Clinton was professor of Near

Anthology of Arabic Literature, Culture, and 

Thought from Pre-Islamic Times to the Present 

Bassam K. Frangieh 

“With its comprehensive coverage of the 

intellectual and literary Arab-Islamic heritage, 

this book will be very useful in advanced Arabic 

classes.” 

—Mahdi Alosh, The Ohio State University 

“An excellent survey of the Arabic literary 

tradition, covering poetry, religious texts, 

grammar and linguistics, literary criticism, 

belles lettres, religious thought and philosophy, 

novels, and drama.” 

—Jamal Ali, University of Pennsylvania 

“This exciting and useful reader fills a gap that 

exists in the availability of textual materials in 

Arabic at a level beyond that of the first two or 

three years of instruction.” 

—Roger Allen, University of Pennsylvania 

This book—the first comprehensive reader of 

Arabic literature from pre-Islamic times to the 

present—is an essential work for advanced students 

of the Arabic language. Presenting seventy 

works by seventy authors, it includes pre-Islamic 

poetry and prose; selections from the Qur’an; the 

Prophet Muhammad’s last sermon; writings from 

the “Golden Age of the Arabs” in philosophy, 

mysticism, prose, and poetry; works from the neoclassical, 

modernist, and metaphorical schools; 

literature of the Arabs in Andalus, Spain; and discussions 

of cultural, literary, critical, and political 

movements of the present day. Each selection is 

followed by a vocabulary list, a list of idioms and 

notes, and a set of questions about the text.

Biblical Hebrew 


Textbook, Supplement, and Audio Program 

Bonnie Pedrotti Kittel, Victoria Hoffer, 

and Rebecca Abts Wright 

Revised by Victoria Hoffer 

Elementary 

This revised edition of the best-selling Biblical Hebrew is thoroughly updated 

and augmented to teach a new generation of students to read Biblical Hebrew 

prose with fluency and competence. Designed for use in a two-semester 

course, the book’s fifty-five lessons are each constructed around a Biblical verse 

or segment that generates the concepts to be taught. Three entirely new audio 

CDs (75 minutes each) are also available to enhance the lessons. They offer 

entertaining songs for paradigms and grammar concepts, the singing of Psalms 

and other biblical passages, cantillation of readings, and all vocabulary words. 

A major component of the book is the reading of eight extended Biblical texts. 

Annotations assist in difficult passages, guiding the student through a reasoning 

process that leads to progressively more independent work. These notes 

also discuss literary style, text criticism, and issues of translation. Throughout 

Biblical Hebrew the emphasis is on analyzing forms, learning to use an academic 

dictionary, and memorizing paradigms and vocabulary. By the end of the course 

students are well equipped to tackle prose passages on their own. 

A supplement for reinforcement and enrichment is also available.

Tell It Like It Is! 

Natural Chinese for Advanced Learners 

Jianqi Wang 

Advanced 

“This is a pioneering effort and represents a type of material badly needed in the teaching of Chinese 

as a foreign language.”—Cornelius C. Kubler, Williams College 

“By working through these materials learners will be better equipped to deal with authentic, 

spontaneous, and informal oral discourse. Tell It Like It Is! is sorely needed in the field.” 

—Matthew B. Christensen, Brigham Young University 

This unique program emphasizes authentic, unrehearsed Chinese language as it is spoken among Chinese 

speakers. The program includes a DVD and audio connecting students to Chinese culture, politics, and 

issues by means of the popular talk show program of China Central Television, Tell It Like It Is! Because a 

broad variety of individuals participate in the shows, representing different genders, ages, and accents, 

the listener/reader is exposed to the kinds of language used in real-life situations. Complete episodes of 

Tell It Like It Is! are available on DVD. 

Tell It Like It Is! addresses the crucial need of advanced-level students of Chinese to learn spontaneous 

informal oral discourse, whether they are participating in classroom study or learning independently. 

Jianqi Wang is assistant professor at The Ohio State University.

Advanced Chinese 

Intention, Strategy, and Communication 

Yanfang Tang and Qinghai Chen 

“Advanced Chinese is original in its conception and 

unique in its inception. It represents a new 

generation in Chinese pedagogy.”—Stephen 

Field, Trinity University 

Written and designed for advanced learners of 

Chinese, this book and its accompanying audio 

program focus on the variety of linguistic strategies 

that are essential in real-life communications. The 

lessons include texts that are representative of 

current life in China and that are authentic works of 

literature. Five types of discourse are considered in 

detail—narration, description, persuasion, exposition, 

and lyrical expression. 

With carefully crafted vocabulary, grammar, and 

exercise sections in each lesson, the book assists 

learners in improving writing and speaking skills, 

recognizing the difference between colloquial 

discourse and more formal discourse, and acquiring a 

sophisticated understanding of the meanings and 

nuances of the language. The authors also include a 

useful list of supplementary readings that may be 

used to enhance 

the texts in the 

book. 

Yanfang Tang

professor of 

Chinese at the 

College of

Advanced Business Chinese 

Economy and Commerce in a Changing 

China and the Changing World 

Fangyuan Yuan 

China joined the World Trade Organization in 

2001, and a period of rapid economic development 

has ensued. Companies from around the 

world are investing in China and launching 

operations there, generating the need for 

increasing numbers of workers who possess not 

only high-level Chinese-language skills but also 

an understanding of business and economic 

issues in China. This is the first business textbook 

for advanced learners of Chinese in which 

economic issues are addressed in depth. 

Advanced Business Chinese features: 

five thematic units: international trade, 

management and marketing, finance, 

the stock market, and economic law; 

lessons that help students develop language 

skills in a dynamic and communicative 

context and expand their critical-thinking 

abilities; 

perspectives on economic issues in modern 

China, ranging from how China fits into the 

global economy to how economic matters 

affect the businesses and citizens of the 

nation; 

authentic reading materials, including case 

studies; 

a variety of exercises and activities; 

a glossary with pinyin transliterations and 

English explanations.

A Philosophy of Second 

Language Acquisition 

Marysia Johnson 

“Marysia Johnson here offers a refreshing, 

unique, and necessary contribution to the SLA 

conversation.”—Fred Davidson, University of 

Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 

In this provocative book, 

Marysia Johnson proposes 

a new model of 

second language 

acquisition (SLA)—a 

model that shifts the 

focus from language 

competence (the ability 

to pass a language exam) 

to language performance 

(using language competently 

in real-life contexts).

A Reexamination of the Validity of the Oral 

Proficiency Interview 

“This important book 

offers a long overdue 

model of how to use the 

insights from discourse 

analysis in order to 

evaluate the OPI 

assessment of secondlanguage 

speakers.” 

—Andrea Tyler, 

Georgetown University 

The Oral Proficiency 

Interview (OPI) is a widely accepted instrument 

for assessing second and foreign language ability. 

This book considers whether the OPI is a valid 

instrument for assessing them, and proposes a 

new model drawn from sociocultural theory to 

test language proficiency.

Macrostrategies for Language

B. Kumaravadivelu 

“This book challenges

addresses critical 

theory, sociopolitical 

issues, 

the importance of 

context, cognitive 

processing, and 

a host of other 

important aspects of 

language teaching.”—Rebecca Oxford,

“Stimulating and provocative, this book 

is an excellent choice for a text on 

reflective teaching.”—Thomas Scovel, 

San Francisco State University 

“This book is highly recommended for all 

levels only if the reader is ready to 

critically engage her own belief system 

about strategic teaching and language 

learning. The final goal is to begin 

embracing self-directed pedagogy. 

Highly recommended.”—Choice 

This original book presents ten 

macrostrategies for teachers based on 

current knowledge of second language 

and foreign language teaching. These 

strategies are designed to help both 

beginning and experienced teachers to 

self-observe, self-analyze, and self-evaluate 

their teaching practices.

Igbo-English Dictionary 

A Comprehensive 

Dictionary of the Igbo 

Language, with an 

English-Igbo Index 

Michael J. C. 

Echeruo 

Dictionary 

“This dictionary is a 

groundbreaking 

work, sure to 

become a definitive 

document serving 

one of the most 

important indigenous 

languages of 

Africa.”—Emmanuel 

N. Obiechina, 

Distinguished 

Professor of Humanities, 

Ferrum College 

“Professor Echeruo has accomplished a labor of 

love which is also a great feat of scholarship 

and a demonstration of plain good sense. He 

has put Igbo language and its users eternally in 

his debt by opening up and displaying the rich 

and living treasury of Igbo dialects in place of 

the narrowing down favored by advocates and 

vigilantes of schoolroom standardization.” 

—Chinua Achebe, Charles P. Stevenson 

Professor, Bard College 

This is the first comprehensive and authoritative 

dictionary of Igbo, the language of more than 

twenty million Nigerians. Prepared by a native 

speaker of Igbo, the dictionary focuses on words 

and phrases encountered in everyday life and in 

Igbo texts. The author includes words from all 

Igbo dialects and provides a convenient English 

index.

Jörg Matthias 

Roche and Mark 

Joel Webber 

“Meticulously edited, 

this is a first-rate, 

intelligent, and 

imaginative book 

that is written with 

a compelling blend 

of scholarship 

and personal 

committment.” 

—Thomas Baginski, 

The Modern Language Journal 

“This book is truly unique in the way it bridges 

the different aspects of German studies and 

integrates the teaching of language, text, and 

culture within a discourse orientation. . . . [It is] 

a landmark of the genre.”—Claire Kramsch, 

Professor, Department of German Studies, 

University of California, Berkeley 

Für- und Wider-Sprüche is a content-based 

textbook for intermediate German studies. More 

than a conventional reader, it challenges 

students to develop their capabilities to deal 

with a variety of authentic texts from and about 

Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and it fosters 

communicative skills, cross-cultural analysis, and 

critical thinking.

Grammar and Gender 

Dennis Baron 

“Mr. Baron reveals the male bias of most 

linguistic work, and explores some of the 

efforts that have been made to change 

accepted patterns of usage to reflect changing 

perceptions of the place of women in society. 

. . . This book, with its wealth of illustrative 

detail, is a fascinating read.”—G. M. Awbery, 

Modern Language Review 

“This book is full of fascinating material on the 

long and somewhat sordid history of speculation 

and exhortation about language and 

gender.”—Sally McConnell-Ginet, Journal of 

English and Germanic Philology

An Introduction to Old English

Stephen A. Barney 

“An excellent piece of work. . . . It makes 

learning the basic vocabulary of Old

adventure in ideas." —John C. Pope 

Word-Hoard draws etymological connections, 

provides mnemonic aids, and introduces the 

student to cultural and literary concepts as 

well as words.

Learning Irish 

Complete language course—includes 

book and 4 audio cassettes 

Mícheál Ó Siadhail 

“At last there is a teach-yourself Irish text that 

really works. . . . Learning Irish provides a 

logical introduction to beginners with no 

previous knowledge of Irish as well as a sound 

review for those who have studied Irish.”— 

Janet Egleson Dunleavy, American Committee 

for Irish Studies Newsletter 

Learning Irish is the standard introductory course 

to the Irish language. The product of many years 

of original and scholarly research as well as much 

teaching experience, this book and the four 

accompanying audiocassettes serve a double 

function: they provide a sound approach to the 

ordinary language learner and at the same time 

furnish the professional linguist with an 

authentic description of the spoken language.
