While there are some books and articles about the importance of understanding in-school learning style and the benefits in achievement and attitude toward learning that accrue from matching learning style to learning environment, this is the first book on homework style.

Learning style and homework style have been found to be related yet empirically distinguishable, indicating the unique situation the home variable plays in forming individual learning styles. This guide will help parents, teachers, and counselors understand homework style and gain an awareness of the relationship between homework style, homework achievement, and school achievement.

The research does not simply inform educators how to create a better pedagogy. Rather, it informs a service-learning practice that can transform both individuals and institutions.

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.

Hi, Hope you enjoy my horrid 'Whoops Apostrophe' findings - WHOOP'S in the title for the humour; ... in the title as there are lots of other errors in here, shock

Apostrophe errors are my favourite horror, but I have 'snapped' so many others...and have 'chaptered' them, to file similar types of errors together. I suppose that you could say some spelling errors are more typesetting mistakes...but hey somebody's to blame in there, every time

Plenty more in my mobile phone's memory, and every day I see and capture more...for posterity ? In shop windows, in cafes, in businesses, in pubs; on cars, vans, on the TV...in Scotland, England, Ireland; in Amsterdam recently, and all over Europe ('and' Turkey ). Australia...

Thought long and hard about adding witty and / or informative 'captions' under many of the images, especially as regards locations; but in the final analysis decided to let the visual nature of the 'humour' speak for itself

And oh I know it's our modern world's 'fault' really, really? Technology - texting, e-mails, Facebook...leads to phonetic spellings and not 'bothering' with Capital letters... Mobile phones especially - I've got to press at least 6 times to even get to an '

Apostrophes don't seem even to be taught anymore either, certainly not in any continuous form.

Smile, and learn?

Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Methods in Research systematically outlines specific strategies to guide the student in designing and conducting empirical research. As with any undertaking that is based on skill development, the more you use the skill the more adept you become with the skill. The quality and usefulness of all research is only as good as the skills of the researcher and the clarity of the research study. This book is written primarily for graduate level producers of education and social science research. It is also appropriate for students who are proposing and conducting a research project as a culminating undergraduate requirement, and individuals and groups conducting research on topics independent of an informed means of assuming the role of researcher and embarking on a research study. It is written with the encouragement of learners who participated or will participate in research.

This book provides a step-by-step journey to giving a successful academic conference presentation, taking readers through all of the potential steps along the way-from the initial idea and the abstract submission all the way up to the presentation itself. Drawing on the author's own experiences, the book highlights good and bad practices while explaining each introduced feature in a very accessible style. It provides tips on a wide range of issues such as writing up an abstract, choosing the right conference, negotiating group presentations, giving a poster presentation, what to include in a good presentation, conference proceedings and presenting at virtual or hybrid events. This book will be of particular interest to graduate students, early-career researchers and non-native speakers of English, as well as students and scholars who are interested in English for Academic Purposes, Applied Linguistics, Communication Studies and generally speaking, most of the Social Sciences. With that said, because of the book's theme, many of the principles included within will appeal to broad spectrum of academic disciplines.
