Lingüística aplicada: Adquisición del español como segunda lengua
* Approach reflects a belief in the value of discourse analysis, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics in the fields of second language acquisition and applied linguistics. * Goal is to train teachers to teach the Spanish language as a communicative system rather than as a set of grammatical rules--therefore it includes relevant information on Spanish pragmatics and sociolinguistics. * Written entirely in Spanish. * Each chapter includes review questions and exercises. * CD-ROM integrates samples of the course material so that the readers can see and hear native speaker examples of aspects of Spanish as they learn about them..

Lingüística aplicada: A la Enseñanza del Español a Anglohablantes
Written in clear and simple Spanish, this book introduces the grammatical and phonetical systems of Spanish by means of a contrastive analysis of Spanish and English. Presents a systems analysis to be used as a basis for error analysis in the classroom. Briefly outlines a model of language acquisition and discusses the relationship between linguistic theory and teaching methodology. Gives overview of articulatory phonetics and contrasts Spanish phonetics with English; develops the system of phonological rules of Spanish; and treats the formation of the verb tense-mood system. Considers morphology of nouns and adjectives, some illustrative derivational processes and morphophonemic processes, form and syntax of pronouns, semantics and the function of the lexicon in language teaching, verb tenses and their semantic functions, and subjunctive and indicative moods. Also offers suggestions for the study of language and culture. Specific theoretical models are avoided. Includes both mechanical exercises and topics for discussion..

Kinesiologia y Anatomia Aplicada a la Actividad (Spanish Edition)
El conocimiento de los procesos fisiológicos es condición necesaria para estructurar un entrenamiento de forma razonable y conducirlo con éxito. Nos referimos con ello tanto al deporte de elite, al deporte practicado en el tiempo libre como a la fisioterapia. La presente obra combina perfectamente los importantes fundamentos teóricos sobre anatomÃa y fisiologÃa con las normas prácticas a seguir en el entrenamiento, el cuidado muscular y los tratamientos de lesiones. Incluso las complicadas relaciones biomecánicas son de fácil compresión en su presentación y son explicadas con ayuda de numerosas ilustraciones. Además de los programas de entrenamiento y ejercicios, se tratan en detalle el estiramiento muscular, los ejercicios musculares más efectivos y el cuidado muscular, la terapia fÃsica, el control psicológico, asà como también se dan consejos sobre cómo alimentarse para conseguir un buen rendimiento. Debe mencionarse especialmente el capÃtulo dedicado a las lesiones y a los peligros en caso de entrenamiento excesivo u erróneo. Las cinco partes en que está dividida la obra -AnatomÃa general, FisiologÃa deportiva, Asesoramiento para el entrenamiento, AnatomÃa deportiva y Postura y movimiento- están ilustradas con 442 dibujos- fotografÃas, 44 láminas en color y 21 cuadros sinópticos que facilitarán al lector la comprensión de unas ideas básicas cercanas a la práctica y, al mismo tiempo, le proporcionarán conocimientos sobre los fundamentos y las causas de la aparición de errores en el desarrollo de los movimientos..
