OXFORD Time and the Verb A Guide to Tense and Aspect by Robert I Binnick

This comprehensive examination of tense and grammatical aspect provides fascinating insight into how languages indicate distinctions of time.

All The Classroom's a Stage: Feminism, Teaching, and the Art of Performance Teachers are really performers, classrooms are stages, and students the captivated audience.

Marcus Contextual Grammars - Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy by Gheorghe Paun

Marcus Contextual Grammars is the first monograph to present a class of grammars introduced about three decades ago, based on the fundamental linguistic phenomenon of strings-contexts interplay (selection).
 
 
 
Most of the theoretical results obtained so far about the many variants of contextual grammars are presented with emphasis on classes of questions with relevance for applications in the study of natural language syntax: generative powers, descriptive and computational complexity, automata recognition, semilinearity, structure of the generated strings, ambiguity, regulated rewriting, etc. Constant comparison with families of languages in the Chomsky hierarchy is made.
 
 
 
Connections with non-linguistic areas are established, such as molecular computing. Audience: Researchers and students in theoretical computer science (formal language theory and automata theory), computational linguistics, mathematical methods in linguistics, and linguists interested in formal models of syntax.

Literacy Goes to School The Parents Role in Young Childrens Literacy Learning by Dr Jo Weinberger

Few primary teachers have a chance to find out in detail what children have already learnt, and continue to learn, about literacy at home with their parents. This book gives a clear demonstration of literacy learning that takes place at home, and how it differs from, as well as relates to, literacy at school.
 
 
 
It will help teachers to increase their understanding of this process and to build on their relationship with parents. Such understanding, the book shows, can directly enhance children’s literacy performance in school.
 
 
 
The book is based on the author’s study of how more than 40 parents from a variety of backgrounds contributed to their children’s literacy development. The author suggests practical ways for teachers to assess and develop their own practice in relation to home literacy learning. The book includes the author’s Home-School Literacy Evaluation matrix, to help teachers review their contact with parents, and to promote and monitor change.

Introduction To Rubrics An Assessment Tool To Save Grading Time Convey Effective Feedback and Promote Student Learning

You need rubrics if:
* You find yourself repeating the same comments on most student papers
* You worry that you’re grading the latest papers differently from the first
* You’re concerned about communicating the complexity of a semester-long assignment
* You question the consistency of your and your colleagues’ grading scales 
* Grading is taking up far too much of your valuable time
 
 
Research shows that rubrics save professors’ time while conveying meaningful and timely feedback for students, and promoting self-regulated and independent learning. The reason rubrics are little used in higher education is that few faculty members have been exposed to their use.
