Listening to Lorca: A Journey into Language

Eric Hawkins

4.9/5 (13561 ratings)

Description:Professor Hawkins, one of the foremost figures in language teaching, describes his "journey into language" through a series of key professional - and often moving - episodes drawn from the sweep of 20th century European history, encompassing the Spanish Civil War, the rise of Nazism, World War in Europe and North Africa, and the bridge-building that followed. In the first of these episodes, Hawkins finds himself in republican Spain listening to the poet Federico Garcia Lorca perform with his travelling theatre company at the newly-formed International University. He develops not only a love of language learning, but of language itself as a defining charactersitic of our humanity. Eric hawkings writes in a modest, self-depracating style which belies his importance in inspiring generations of language students and contributing to educational developments and debates over 50 years. His book is a restatement of the need to cherish language and culture at a time when linguistic and cultural differences all too often divide humanity rather than show us what we have in common.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
