The World's Most Spoken Languages And Where They Are Spoken This beautifully illustrated infographic (above), designed by South China Morning Post’s graphics director Alberto Lucas Lopéz, shows the most spoken known languages in the world and where they’re spoken by the 6.3 billion people included in the study.

Recently added - word meanings IEDCYT (antes CINDOC)-Instituto de Estudios Documentales sobre Ciencia y Tecnología Tras más de una década de uso en distintos Sistemas de Información Económica especializada, el TESAURO ISOC DE ECONOMIA, aparecido en 1995, se presenta ahora en una nueva versión, en la que se actualiza su universo terminológico a los usos de la literatura económica más reciente; se incorporan nuevas formulaciones en conceptos ya existentes; se reestructura su esquema organizativo general para acercarlo más la cosmovisión de la disciplina que generalmente tienen los economistas, y homologarlo con otros esquemas académicos y documentales de reconocido prestigio, como la JEL, y se redefinen nuevas estructuras jerárquicas entre los términos, en un buen número de Familias o Campos semánticos. A pesar de estos cambios, el número de términos incorporados no sólo no ha crecido, sino que se ha visto reducido en más de 300 casos, ante la obsolescencia de muchos de ellos y ante la renovación de la investigación económica española.

5 Great Infographics for Language Teachers and Learners Infographics are great learning materials. The colourful graphics, clear text and their size make them ideal for classroom integration. I have been posting some of the ones I deem educationl to help teachers leverage this resource to create engaging, relevant and personalized learning experiences in their classes. Due to their size we could not embed all the infographics in one post instead we distributed them on four posts with each one of them containing links to other posts to make it easy for you to navigate the four posts without having to move away. Teachers can print them out and pin them on the class wall for students to access throughout the whole year.

UKAT Is Beirut the codeswitching capital of the world? At this high-end organic farmer’s market in downtown Beirut, buyers and sellers speak a mishmash of languages, usually Arabic and English or French. Just trying to pay for juice I have to switch back and forth from English to Arabic. The stand clerk starts in Arabic, “Here you go,” before switching in English, “these two [juices]?” Pia Bou Khater is at the market with me. Codeswitching this way is one of the characteristics that defines life in Beirut for visitors and for many Lebanese. “When I'm interacting with people, like buying things or trying to bargain, I rarely switch,” Pia explains. Multilingualism the way Pia knows it isn’t uncommon in Beirut. But that’s not the only reason she used “merci.” But another linguist, Lina Choueri, says the regular mixing of the three languages in everyday life actually didn’t happen until much later. Choueri’s dad’s generation just communicated in Arabic. Back at the market Pia agrees with Choueri’s dad.
