Higher Education in Virtual Worlds Teaching and Learning in Second Life

Virtual Worlds are a new interface through which people can meet and collaborate with others using their natural voice, sharing PowerPoint presentations, videos, team meetings, as well as other sorts of simulations and role playing. 'Education in Second Life' is an important type of distance learning.
 
 
Certainly it enables classes to meet without the overhead that goes with the traditional brick and mortar classroom building. Also, the environmental impact associated with commuting is eliminated. This volume is a forum for leaders in utilizing the Second Life virtual world in higher education to share their experience and ideas. Second Life is free and readily accessible.
 
 
The characters called avatars used in virtual worlds can gesticulate and smile creating an immediacy supporting learning. Some universities such as the Open University involve non-academic staff in using and supporting activity in virtual worlds. We hope this book will help you to join us in extending this new frontier of education.

Fast Fluency - Communication in English for the International Age by William Boletta

There are twenty lessons, and teachers may cover them in any order. They are not graded, and each one contains very simple as well as more difficult and less frequently-used language items.
 
 
While there is a certain logic to the presentation of the subject matter of the conversations, the level of difficulty remains more or less uniform throughout. Early lessons treat greetings, introductions, and small talk – topics and functions which often occur early in relationships or in initial encounters with strangers.
 
 
Each lesson has a uniform format consisting of five parts:
1 Conversation
2 Variations
3 Your Turn
4 Sharing
5 Try Your Hand

English Words History and Structure 2nd Edition by Donka Minkova and Robert Stockwell

This new edition is concerned primarily with the learned vocabulary of English - the words borrowed from the classical languages. It surveys the historical events that define the layers of vocabulary in English, introduces some of the basic principles of linguistic analysis, and is a helpful manual for vocabulary discernment and enrichment.


The new edition has been updated with a discussion of the most recent trends of blending and shortening associated with texting and other forms of electronic communication and includes a new classification of the types of allomorphy.


It discusses important topics such as segment sonority and the historical shifting of long vowels in English, and includes a new section on Grimm's law, explaining some of the more obscure links between Germanic and Latinate cognates. Exercises accompany each chapter and an online workbook contains readings and exercises to strengthen knowledge acquired in the classroom.
