A comprehensive overview of research methods in second-language teaching and learning, from experts in the field. The Cambridge Guide to Research in Language Teaching and Learning covers 36 core areas of second-language research, organised into four main sections: Primary Considerations; Getting Ready; Doing the Research; Research Contexts. Presenting in-depth but easy to understand theoretical overviews, along with practical advice, the volume is aimed at 'students of research', including pre-service and in-service language teachers who are interested in research methods, as well as those studying research methods in Bachelor, MA, or PhD graduate programs around the world.
One summer day in August, while vacationing at his beach home in Florida, Irwin Cole receives a mysterious package that leads him to discover that his wife is missing. While Cole desperately tries to determine the reasons for her disappearance, the FBI shows up at his door. He soon learns that the FBI suspects he is responsible for his wife's disappearance and possibly her murder. . . Now on the run, from both the FBI and the forces trying to destroy him, Cole follows his only lead: a clue he found hidden in the package. It leads him to a private island off the coast of West Florida where he finds that nothing is as it seems. Unsettling events continue to take place, both in Florida and all the way to Washington D.C., including a missing FBI agent and an unidentified body found at his beach home. When Cole discovers a timetable for the murder of his wife, his quest becomes a race against the clock. As the body count continues to grow, the pressure builds for the FBI to make an arrest. Despite all the evidence, including a confession, the FBI is reluctant to charge their prime suspect, because Irwin S. Cole is a popular United States senator.
Sir Arthur Tange was perhaps the most powerful Secretary of the Australian Defence Department and one of the most powerful of the great 'mandarins' who dominated the Commonwealth Public Service between the 1940s and the 1970s. His strong, and often decisive, influence on both administration and policy was exerted by virtue of his intellectual capacity, his administrative ability and the sheer force of his personality. Controversies from his time in Defence, including those associated with 'the Tange report' and 'the Tange reforms', echo to this day, and it is still easy to identify both staunch admirers and vitriolic critics in defence and public service circles. Tange wrote this account in his last years. It is a memoir - based largely on memory supplemented by limited reference to documentary material - that focuses upon his career after he came to Defence in 1970. It records his own account of his part in those administrative reforms and policy shifts, as well as his involvement-or non-involvement or alleged involvement-in several of the political crises of the 1970s, including the downfall of John Gorton as Prime Minister and the dismissal of the Whitlam Government.
