Adult learning offers practical guidelines, underpinned by sound
scholarship, for the design and implementation of learning events.
The author illuminates this process, which she views as a
learning-centred and dialogic endeavour, by drawing on perennial
and cutting-edge theory as well as on personal experience. She
guides the reader in exploring the theory on adult learners and
their needs, the learning process and strategies that educators can
use for guiding and facilitating learning. This culminates in a
discussion of a specific strategy for designing and implementing
dialogic learning events - the seven steps of planning. She
explains in practical terms how this strategy puts dialogic
teaching into action, using learning tasks to structure dialogue
with learners.
This book was originally published in 1901 it is the Second Edition
and has been thoroughly revised and partly rewritten. Information
includes, coils for gas and automobile engines, medical coils and
much more, much of this information is still usefull and practical
today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back
to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original artwork and text.
It sounds ominous, but it is unfortunately true: a virus has
crept nearly undetected into the American English language,
affecting the pronunciation of all who speak it. In this guide, a
seasoned language professor shares his unique method that teaches
you to avoid embarrassing mistakes in pronunciation-all while
expanding your vocabulary.
Dr. William Harrison relies on his extensive experience studying
and teaching languages for the past forty years to provide a
comprehensive guide that combines jingles and pictures as mnemonic
devices to teach students of all ages the two most important pieces
of information about each English word-pronunciation and meaning.
While using fun and lively jingles to model pronunciation patterns,
Dr. Harrison encourages students to overcome such articulation
errors as saying "coldslaw" instead of "coleslaw" and "bet" instead
of "bed." Included are eighteen obstacles to proper pronunciation,
reminding English speakers to rely on new, innovative ways to
remember proper pronunciations instead of an archaic spelling
system.
This practical reference manual can help anyone interested in
correct pronunciation of American English and the evolution of
pronunciation in America.
