Teaching for Deep Comprehension by Linda J Dorn and Carla Soffos

Linda Dorn and Carla Soffos describe the process of comprehension as a reflection of the mind—a window into the reader's thoughts.
 
 
In Teaching for Deep Comprehension they discuss comprehension from a socio-cognitive perspective — specifically, how teachers can use the social context of reading workshop to promote deep comprehension. The book is framed around three guiding questions:
Can comprehension be taught?
 
 
How does a model become a barrier to comprehension?
When does a tool become the reason for reading?

Right Reading Supplementary Reading and Vocabulary Development Text for EFL By Dean Curry

RIGHT READING has been prepared as a supplementary EFL text for beginning level students with basic knowledge of English structure and vocabulary. It is designed to increase vocabulary and to develop reading skills with quick comprehension of the salient points of the material read.
 
 
The exercises are of four basic types intended to appeal to the interest of students and teachers in the variety of subject matter presented and the challenge of the exercises. Comprehension and vocabulary development are the core elements in the composition of the exercises which require minimal oral or written reproduction on the part of the student. Oral skills practice, in fact, can be avoided at the discretion of the teacher.
 
 
The emphasis of the text is upon silent reading as rapidly as possible for quick comprehension check as provided by the exercises. Some aspects of grammar are treated in the WHAT'S MISSING? section, largely as a recognition exercise of adjectives, adverbs, nouns, prepositions, and verbs as these occur in the reading context. Students will gain insight into the contextual function of these parts of speech by noting their usage as they occur in the reading.

Rhythmic Grammar by Julia Schluter Rhythmic - Topics in English Linguistics 46

This groundbreaking book highlights a phonological preference, the Principle of Rhythmic Alternation, as a factor in grammatical variation and change in English from the early modern period to the present. Though frequently overlooked in earlier research, the phonetically motivated avoidance of adjacent stresses is shown to exert an influence on a wide variety of phenomena in morphology and syntax.
 
 
Based on in-depth analyses of extensive electronic databases, the book presents 20 exemplary studies from different structural categories. Among them are much-debated as well as novel issues, including the double comparative worser, 'predicative only' a- adjectives, variant past participles, the placement of the degree modifier quite, the order of conjuncts in binomials, the negation of attributive adjectives and sentence adverbs, variable adverbial marking, the use or omission of the infinitive marker, and the a- prefix before - ing forms.
 
 
The studies provide qualitative and quantitative evidence of the importance of rhythmic alternation in synchronic variation as well as diachronic change, without neglecting interactions with a set of competing functional tendencies. Thus, the book contributes essential aspects to the description and explanation of the phenomena considered, calling for a fundamental revision of current thinking about the interface between phonology and morphosyntax.
 
 
In addition, the empirical findings are brought to bear on theoretical discussions of more general interest, yielding a critical assessment of the merits and limitations of two nonmodular linguistic theories: Optimality Theory and spreading activation models. The latter type is developed into a comprehensive conception integrating functional factors such as the Principle of Rhythmic Alternation in an overarching framework for language variation and change.
 
 
The wide range of subject areas covered makes the volume essential reading and a source of inspiration for linguists with interests as diverse as the phonology-morphosyntax interface, English grammar, the history of English, functional linguistics, Optimality Theory, as well as neuro- and psycholinguistics.

Multiple Intelligences in Practice by Mike Fleetham

MI is a powerful tool that helps you to appreciate and enrich the talents of all your learners, whatever their age. Creating an understanding of MI in schools has been shown to improve pupils' self-esteem, self-motivation and independence, and to help underachievers realize their potential. 
 
 
 
The theory of multiple intelligences (MI) shows that there is much more to intelligence than high IQ, good spelling or quick mental maths - in fact there's a whole variety of ways to be clever, including musically, verbally, interpersonally, kinaesthetically and naturalistically.

World Education Encyclopedia A Survey of Educational Systems Worldwide 2nd Edition

1-World Education Encyclopedia A Survey of Educational Systems Worldwide 2nd Edition Vol 1
Gale and editor Marlow-Ferguson have done a good job in revising the World Education Encyclopedia (WEE), published in 1988 by Facts On File. The introduction notes that the title has been "reconceptualized" with 100 percent revision. New contributors have been recruited; the majority are faculty from U.S. colleges and universities.
 
 
The glossaries at the end of each country article have been eliminated but the bibliographies remain, with current titles and some Web sites. A flaw of the first edition has been corrected--entries are now arranged in a single alphabet rather than in three groups depending on the amount of information available about each country.
 
 
 
More than 225 countries are included, among them "new" countries of the former Soviet Union and territories and departments such as Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico, and Saint Helena. The country essays can be as short as a page or as long as 12 pages for China, Greece, New Zealand, Uganda, the U.S., and others. There is a basic structure for the essays.
 
 
They begin with the history of the country followed by the constitutional and legal foundations of the education system; an overview of the educational system; and sections on preprimary, primary, secondary, and higher education; administration, finance, and educational research; the profession of teaching; and a summary.
 
 
The authors are objective in their writing, and the editor provides consistency in style. Tables, graphs, and pie charts from current publications of the World Bank, UNESCO, and UNICEF accompany some of the articles. These graphics do not identify the country to which they refer so it is only by checking the original source that one can be sure they appear in the correct entry.
 
 
There are two appendixes. One ranks countries by public expenditures on education, literacy rate by sex, number of teachers, etc. Appendix 2 has regional maps of the countries of the world. The index is useful in helping to compare different attributes by country--academic year, grading, life skills training, and so on.
