A Georgian Reader

"This Reader is quite simply designed to meet the requirements of those who, having grappled with the intricacies of Georgian grammar by following a course such as that available as of 1996 in my Georgian: A Learner's Grammar (Routledge), need to practice and extend their newly acquired knowledge by familiarising themselves with some original Georgian writing. To facilitate the learner's greater understanding of the Georgian, the source-text is presented here in parallel with the translation and followed by a list of pertinent vocabulary."--P. ix.

For beginners. Teaches how to read Georgian literature

This pioneering exploration of Georgian men and women's experiences as readers explores their use of commonplace books for recording favourite passages and reflecting upon what they had read, revealing forgotten aspects of their complicated relationship with the printed word. It shows how indebted English readers often remained to techniques for handling, absorbing and thinking about texts that were rooted in classical antiquity, in Renaissance humanism and in a substantially oral culture. It also reveals how a series of related assumptions about the nature and purpose of reading influenced the roles that literature played in English society in the ages of Addison, Johnson and Byron; how the habits and procedures required by commonplacing affected readers' tastes and so helped shape literary fashions; and how the experience of reading and responding to texts increasingly encouraged literate men and women to imagine themselves as members of a polite, responsible and critically aware public.

Reading was one of Georgian England's defining obsessions. This book argues that the proliferation of library facilities greatly extended the quantity and diversity of texts available. It suggests that the resulting circulation of books on a previously unimaginable scale made possible the creation of a substantial and broadly based reading public.

Reading and writing are skills which can be easily practiced in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) environment, and are particularly important for academic improvement and life-long learning. The book includes an overview of theoretical and practical issues of methods of teaching EFL reading and writing, as well as some research on related topics in Georgia. It deals with such issues as theories of reading and writing, reading and writing activities, motivation, and assessment. It focuses on EFL, as, in Georgia, there is no English-language environment apart from the classroom where students can develop their communicative skills. The contributors to this volume work at the International Black Sea University, where tuition is mostly conducted in English, and, correspondingly, teaching English is one of the main research priorities.
