Losing My Voice & Finding Another Thompson, Cooper $14.95 New Price $13.45 ISBN: 978-1933455235 Losing My Voice and Finding Another is a language learner narrative, based on the author’s experiences from 2003 to 2010, when he emigrated from the United States to Germany at the age of 53 and began to learn German. Many articles have appeared that condemn the appalling state in which very few <strong>American</strong>s are able to communicate at a nativelike level of language and culture with citizens of other countries. Underlying these articles is the assumption that native-like language competence cannot be acquired in a classroom. While contact with the culture is essential, it is possible—imperative—to assist students through direct instruction. Th is is what successful language learners repeatedly say. Th e articles in this book present a “smorgasbord” of practices focusing on what must be taught if students are to reach a level approximating the native speaker. Th e “recipes” for developing high-level profi ciency contained in this booklet represent successful practices that in some cases have been used for more than two decades. Th is is the fi rst time that the information has been distilled into one concise set of formulae for getting from lowlevel to high-level.
