A selected few Idioms and Sayings have been compiled in contrast to
the matching phrases which share the same meaning. Taken from the
modern English and rich Urdu language, this book allows the reader
to generate conversation and raise much needed discussion around
the message of the Idioms or the Sayings. The mere fact is that
whilst contrasts can be drawn from the text, the reader is able to
read in their preferred script be it Urdu, English or Roman format
simply aiding the learning of language even further. 'Zubaan ki
kadar aye gi...' 'Now you will learn the values of language...'
Our ancestors developed a uniquely nature-focused society, centred
on esteemed poets, seers, monks, healers and wise women who were
deeply connected to the land. They used this connection to the
cycles of the natural world - from which we are increasingly
dissociated - as an animating force in their lives. In this
illuminating new book, Manchan Magan sets out on a journey, through
bogs, across rivers and over mountains, to trace these ancestor's
footsteps. He uncovers the ancient myths that have shaped our
national identity and are embedded in the strata of land that have
endured through millennia - from ice ages through to famines and
floods. Here, the River Shannon is a goddess, and trees and their
life-sustaining root systems are hallowed. See the world in a new
light in this magical exploration into the life-sustaining wisdom
of what lies beneath us. 'We could do with a lot more characters
like [Manchan] dotted about this world.' Irish Independent 'Manchan
creates a gorgeous tapestry that lingers in the mind's eye.' Kerri
Ni Dochartaigh 'Manchan['s] ... got some theories about the roots
of the Irish language that are going to blow your head off ... an
incredible storyteller.' Blindboy Boatclub Manchan's passion for
Ireland's ecological and poetic heritage is more urgently relevant
than ever.' Darach O Seaghdha

Nearly three-quarters of public schools in the United States enroll
English language learners (ELLs). That means teachers at all grade
levels need to know how to help these students achieve full
academic English language proficiency. In Dispelling Misconceptions
About English Language Learners, Barbara Gottschalk dispels 10
common misconceptions about ELLs and gives teachers the information
they need to help their ELLs succeed in the classroom. From her
perspective as a teacher of English as a second language,
Gottschalk answers several key questions: Just who is an English
language learner? Why is it important to support home language
maintenance and promote family engagement? What are the
foundational principles for instruction that help educators teach
ELLs across the content areas? How can teachers recognize and
incorporate the background knowledge and experiences ELLs bring to
class? Why is it important to maintain high standards and
expectations for all students, including ELLs? How can a teacher
tell when an ELL needs special education versus special teaching?
By answering these questions, and more, Gottschalk gives teachers a
crystal-clear understanding of how to reach ELLs at each stage of
English language acquisition. Her expert guidance reinforces for
teachers what they are already doing right and helps them
understand what they might need to be doing differently.
Designed as a multi-purpose tool for English language learners.
Best if used during or after a course, training, or tutoring of the
English language, even if being taught by friends or family. All
content is in English. The most common, functional and useful
English words and phrases to navigate daily life are included as
