Second Language Educational Experiences for Adult Learners provides
an up-to-date review of the theory and practice of adult second
language education. The primary objective is to introduce core
ideas that should inform the design, development, and delivery of
language learning experiences that take the typical forms of
materials, courses, teaching, and assessment. Divided into three
sections, the book first addresses what we know about adult second
language acquisition and how individuals may acquire languages
differently from each other. In the second section, key educational
design elements-from pedagogical methods to curriculum to
assessment-are then introduced from the perspective of
research-based understandings about effective practices. Rounding
out the volume is an overview of critical issues for language
educational innovation, including supporting teachers, localizing
materials and instruction, evaluating and improving education, and
working with technology. Each chapter concludes with a set of
recommended "design principles" that should guide readers toward
high-quality, valuable, and empirically supported language
educational experiences. This volume will be of interest to
researchers and students investigating instructed language
learning, designers creating useful language learning materials,
and language teaching innovators seeking to improve outcomes in
diverse instructional settings around the world.

This is a book for reference and revision, especially for those in the early stages of studying the Persian language. It uses the official reformed spelling, and gives attention to handwriting, educated standard and educated colloquial pronunciation, and the important polite forms. The grammar is explained with copious examples, all shown both in Persian script and in Roman transliteration. The grammatical themes are grouped logically, and there are cross-references, appendices and a subject index to facilitate the search for the right form.

With investigations into everything from black holes to exoplanets,
the Hubble Telescope has changed not only the face of astronomy but
also our very sense of being in the universe. On the 30th
anniversary of its launch into low-earth orbit, this updated
edition of Expanding Universe presents 30 brand new images,
unveiling more hidden gems from the Hubble's archives. Ultra-high
resolution and taken with almost no background light, these
pictures have answered some of the most compelling questions of
time and space while also revealing new mysteries, like the strange
"dark energy" that sees the universe expanding at an
ever-accelerating rate. The collection is accompanied by an essay
from photography critic Owen Edwards and an interview with Zoltan
Levay, who explains how the pictures are composed. Veteran Hubble
astronauts Charles F. Bolden, Jr. and John Mace Grunsfeld also
offer their insights on Hubble's legacy and future space
exploration.
Used by trained practitioners around the world, the Mace Method is
a powerful tool for emotional healing that is having remarkable
effects on people's lives. In a total departure from conventional
counseling, it does not involve any self-disclosure & requires
only one or two therapy sessions, which can even be carried out
over the phone.
In his compelling new book, John Mace describes the
revolutionary concept of Causism & its practical component, the
Mace Method, & explains how the unknowingly created negative
identities that influence our lives & prevent us attaining our
goals can be located & dis-created.
Based on years of research & study, this simple but
extraordinarily effective therapy will allow you to regain control
of your life & find the real you. Not only can it put you on
the path to emotional & psychological health and eliminate the
stress that underlies many physical health problems, it can also
lead to a marked improvement in your general health, well being
& confidence.
The specific-and varied-ways in which assessment and evaluation can
impact learning and teaching have become an important language
education research concern, particularly as educators are
increasingly called on to implement these processes for
improvement, accountability, or curricular development purposes.
Useful Assessment and Evaluation in Language Education showcases
contemporary research that explores innovative uses of assessment
and evaluation in a variety of educational contexts. Divided into
three parts, this volume first examines theoretical considerations
and practical implementations of assessment conducted for the
purpose of enhancing and developing language learning. Part 2
addresses novel assessment development and implementation projects,
such as the formative use of task-based assessments,
technology-mediated language performance assessment, validation of
educational placement tests for immigrant learners, and the use of
assessment to help identify neurolinguistic correlates of
proficiency. The final section of the book highlights examples of
argument-based approaches to assessment and evaluation validation,
extending this critical framework to quality assurance efforts in
new domains. Adding to research on traditional and conventional
uses of testing and evaluation in language education, this volume
captures innovative trends in assessment and evaluation practice
that explicitly aim to better inform and enhance language teaching
and learning.
Departments and language programs often are asked to evaluate the
efficacy of their own programs and make curricular decisions on the
basis of evidence. This guide, designed to help language educators

language educators conduct evaluation and assessment and to show
how it can lead to meaningful programmatic decisions and change.
With discussions about evaluation planning, advice for selecting
data-collection tools, explanations for data analysis, examples
based on actual evaluations, and more, this book provides
everything you need to complete a successful language program
evaluation that will give educators useful data on which to base
curricular decisions. This short book is practical and timely and
will find an audience in instructors of all languages and all
levels.

A student, business and professional course in spoken and written
Arabic aimed at those with no prior knowledge of the language.
Suitable for business professionals and students wanting to
communicate directly with people and institutions in the Arab
world, Arabic Today is a self-contained course in contemporary
Arabic. Tuition tends to concentrate either on the written language
(never used in everyday speech) or on a selected regional dialect
(which is never written down). Arabic Today breaks with this
tradition, capitalising on the emerging form of spoken Pan-Arabic.
This supraregional form of educated speech is drawn from the most
influential areas, as well as the modern written word. So whether
you wish to speak the language or add writing skills as well, this
course book and accompanying audio website are the ideal tools for
self-tuition and classroom use. Key Features *Teaches Spoken Arabic
in 15 lessons based on dialogue-driven situations with grammatical
explanations, examples and exercises *Builds a vocabulary of c.2
000 words *Teaches Written Arabic in 11 lessons based on the
writing system, sentences, and continuous text *Includes a key to
the exercises, indexes of Arabic and English vocabulary used, and
an index of grammatical subjects *Dialogues and exercises are
featured on an accompanying audio website which help with
pronunciation and fluency in speech and reading. The second edition
of this book has been thoroughly revised and updated to make it
relevant to a new generation of readers. Grammar is explained more
clearly and precisely, the reading material has been updated and
the typography is clearer. New word indexes give meanings and
reference for the vocabulary and together with the grammar index
they offer an invaluable additional reference function. Audio
material to accompany the book is available at the following
