Activating and Engaging Learners and Teachers
This book offers a nuanced, integrated understanding of EFL learning and instruction and investigates both learner and teacher perspectives on four thematically interconnected parts. Part I encompasses chapters on psychological aspects related to teaching and learning and presents the latest research on positive language education, teacher empathy, and well-being. Part II deals with EFL teaching methodology, specifically related to teaching pronunciation, language assessment, peer response, and strategy instruction. Part III addresses aspects of cultural learning including inter- and transculturality, digital citizenship, global learning, and cosmopolitanism. Part IV concerns teaching with literary texts, for instance, to reflect on social and political discourse, facilitate empowerment, imagine utopian or dystopian futures, and to bring non-Western narratives into language classrooms.
Aphantasia
Aphantasia: è la cosiddetta condizione della mente che non è capace di visualizzare nessuna immagine mentale, come se l'occhio della mente fosse completamente cieco. Scoperta da Sir Francis Galton nell'Ottocento il nome attuale venne coniato nel 2005 dal prof. Adam Zeman, il libro racconta la storia dell’Aphantasia dagli albori ad oggi, espone i più importanti e fondamentali studi fatti fino ad oggi, riporta link, interviste, testimonianze di persone afantasiche, pone l’accento sulle domande più interessanti che ci si fa quando si parla di Aphantasia (es: è una malattia? E come fanno gli afantasici ad imparare, riconoscere facce, cose, oggetti, studiare, vivere, ecc.) e svolge anche delle considerazioni interessanti su tutto questo.
Nathaniel Bowditch and the Power of Numbers
In this engagingly written biography, Tamara Plakins Thornton delves into the life and work of Nathaniel Bowditch (1773-1838), a man Thomas Jefferson once called a "meteor in the hemisphere." Bowditch was a mathematician, astronomer, navigator, seafarer, and business executive whose Enlightenment-inspired perspectives shaped nineteenth-century capitalism while transforming American life more broadly. Enthralled with the precision and certainty of numbers and the unerring regularity of the physical universe, Bowditch operated and represented some of New England's most powerful institutions—from financial corporations to Harvard College—as clockwork mechanisms. By examining Bowditch's path...

The Space That Remains
In The Space That Remains, Aaron Pelttari offers the first systematic study of the major fourth-century poets since Michael Robert's foundational The Jeweled Style. It is the first book to give equal attention to both Christian and Pagan poetry and the first to take seriously the issue of readership. As Pelttari shows, the period marked a turn towards forms of writing that privilege the reader's active involvement in shaping the meaning of the text. In the poetry of Ausonius, Claudian, and Prudentius we can see the increasing importance of distinctions between old and new, ancient and modern, forgotten and remembered. The strange traditionalism and verbalism of the day often concealed a desire for immediacy and presence. We can see these changes most clearly in the expectations placed upon readers. The space that remains is the space that the reader comes to inhabit, as would increasingly become the case in the literature of the Latin Middle Ages.
