DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores the issues and concerns many language teachers have in not just helping able students to learn a foreign or second language but more importantly how to get reluctant learners to become interested in language learning. Tin proposes ‘interest’ as an important construct that requires investigation if we are to understand second language learning experiences in a modern globalised world. The book offers both theoretical explorations and empirical findings arising from the author’s own research in the field. Chapters demonstrate how various theoretical and empirical findings can be applied to practice so as to raise the awareness of the importance of interest in language learning and teaching. For teacher trainers and educators, researchers, and practising language teachers, this comprehensive study provides tools to stimulate student interest in language learning for successful language learning.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKChildren are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe books in this series prepare English-speaking people to learn to recognize and speak SPANISH WORDS faster. This is imperative since in order to learn a language, one must first learn it's words. This book offers a new "NATURAL" approach to language learning that I developed based on my experience growing up in three countries where I had to learn to speak the language of the country fast. Several new and innovative concepts are used that focus on stimulating the mind, both the conscious and subconscious. These concepts assimilate natural environmental conditions in which our minds are exposed to learning language when we are children and/or adults in foreign lands. To make learning easier, we also take advantage of knowledge that the learner may already have by using words that are similar in both languages, called cognates. We also use most commonly used words for the obvious reasons but also because as the learner is prompted to use them more often they will develop self-confidence which is necessary to learning a new language. In addition, to stimulate the learners mind, we have designed colorful super layered patterns that are highly artistically digitized. We believe that these excite the learner's mind and keep them interested which is a very important for keeping them motivated on learning. And when it comes to learning, we believe that the mind, and memory, can be stimulated through the use of the body. Thus, we encourage you, if you like, to write, draw, doodle or do what you like on or to the pages of the book. Use the medium that you want. The immersion in creativity, can help the learner learn and memorize new words more naturally. Finally, the drawings on every page of this book can be cut from the margin, placed in frames and hung, to your taste, if you want to use them for decoration while at the same time using them to remind you of the new words you are learning. This series of educational books offers one book for every letter of the alphabet. Get them all to complete your collection. Start with the letter "A." From there, you can get books for each letter of the alphabet. Divine Grace is an American artist. She was born in the United States and grew up in Spain and Mexico.
