Make Your Mark in Pastels by Karin Richter Karin Richter's passion for teaching others is evident in this easy-to-follow instructional book which presents a fresh, unintimidating way to learn the medium of PASTELS. Karin's approach is all about the basics in simple language and examples giving aspiring artists the feeling that they, too, can do it. Her aim is to get artists excited about Pastels while teaching them everything they need to know about the medium. For the more advanced painter, this book will serve to reinforce all the important aspects of painting with instruction that will ensure success. "Painting in Pastels takes you back to the kind of drawing and mark-making you did as a child," Karin says, "it is primal and so much fun!.."..
This book offers new insights into the language gains of adult learners enrolled in an English-medium instruction (EMI) degree programme. It provides longitudinal empirical evidence of the phonological gains of the learners; discusses which individual factors contribute to the changes in the learners’ pronunciation and investigates whether and to what extent increased exposure to the target language in EMI classrooms leads to incidental learning of second language pronunciation. Furthermore, it expands on the discussions surrounding the Critical Period Hypothesis, the native-speaker norm, foreign language accent and the role of English as a Lingua Franca. The comparative and longitudinal design of the research study fills a significant gap in the literature and the book offers considerable original and important research-informed insights into the fields of EMI, bilingual education and second language acquisition. As such, it is a valuable resource and must-read book for researchers, practitioners and policymakers in these areas.
This volume presents a systematic approach to developing advanced English language competence at tertiary level. It includes the reflections of experienced language teachers and teacher-researchers in the English Language Competence programme at the University of Vienna and provides examples of good practice, amalgamating teaching expertise and research with aspects of curriculum design and programme management. The book addresses a growing academic and professional interest in understanding advanced language learning and use. To date, research has tended to investigate advanced proficiency from a specific theoretical viewpoint, for example cognition, psycholinguistic processing strategies, ...
SUCCESS EVERY TIME – Paint Your Way to a great Acrylic Painting with Confidence By naming the book “Success Every Time”, the author makes a lot of promises! It covers first of all the basics like materials, color theory and composition and design. It then discusses the different techniques to paint in acrylics followed by examples and exercises. The reader is encouraged to try them to see what particular approach may appeal. Technique and style have to be learned and practised. The emphasis of the book is, however, on the simple planning required to get the great results and success desired, no matter the technique or style. The author advocates having a plan! This book is for beginners and artists who have done some painting but are ready to get serious about their passion.

The promise is that making the investment of just a few minutes will yield results any artist is longing for.
In the mid 1980s, the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) inaugurated a series of studies in mathematics education by comm- sioning one on the influence of technology and informatics on mathematics and its teaching. These studies are designed to thoroughly explore topics of c- temporary interest, by gathering together a group of experts who prepare a Study Volume that provides a considered assessment of the current state and a guide to further developments. Studies have embraced a range of issues, some central, such as the teaching of algebra, some closely related, such as the impact of history and psychology, and some looking at mathematics education from a particula...

"This is the first book-length study devoted to modern German "author-as-character" fiction set in the Age of Goethe. It shows for the first time in a sustained manner the powerful hold the Goethezeit continues to exercise on the imagination of many of Germany's leading writers. This inner-German dialogue across the ages provides an important corrective to the dominant critical view that contemporary German-language literature is composed primarily under the sign of both globalization and the influence of mass American culture." -- Book cover.
