Language is one of the greatest predictors of personal, social, academic, and professional success. No one is born a reader; instead, learning to read is a process that requires time, effort, and availability. The only way for reading comprehension to develop is through practice: one learns to read by reading. As such, it is integral to acknowledge the importance of knowing how to read and facilitating this skill in schools and at home. Reading is a cornerstone for learning and no child will know academic success if their reading ability is compromised. Modern Reading Practices and Collaboration Between Schools, Family, and Community is a premier reference book that consolidates knowledge on...

This book shows how linguistic research can be used in foreign language teaching. It suggests that it should first be applied to second language acquisition studies, and then carried into the classroom. The text provides a practical case study that follows cognitive linguistic studies as they were applied and eventually used to teach phrasal verbs in EFL settings. It is recommended for aspiring foreign language educators who are interested in language, as it teaches them how to follow their interests and turn them into research that they can use in graduate school. It is also recommended for linguistic researchers who want to use their findings practically and educators who want to know what linguistics can offer the classroom.
A Educação a Distância (EaD) vinha crescendo, no Brasil e no mundo, paralelamente ao desenvolvimento das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDICs). Com a pandemia de covid-19, todas as modalidades de educação, em todo o mundo, migraram para o que se convencionou chamar de ensino remoto emergencial. Fizemos então um convite para que especialistas em EaD, nacionais e internacionais, compartilhassem sua visão sobre o futuro da educação a distância depois da pandemia. João Mattar, Ketia Kellen Araújo da Silva, Patricia Alejandra Behar, Vani Kenski, Zane Berge, Norm Vaughan, Romero Tori e Neuza Pedro aceitaram o convite e discutem, neste livro, sua visão sobre o futuro pós-pandemia de teorias e práticas diversas relacionadas à educação a distância, como competências digitais, o modelo Comunidade de Investigação (CoI), design instrucional, interação, realidade virtual e aumentada e educação a distância em Portugal.

O NEGOCIADOR DE ALMAS. Pedro, sertanejo, homem do semi-árido, inconformado com a miséria que o assola, bem como à sua família, negocia sua alma como demo. Recusado, impossibilitado de fazê-lo devido as artimanhas do tinhoso, negocia a dos próprios filhos. O faz certo de que sua esper-teza, a fé e o poderio religioso da santa esposa, sustarão o ignóbil acordo; mas não sem antes que de alguma forma o acordado o favoreça. Entretanto, salta-lhe às vistas a ruína em que está mergulhando os amados filhos. Após inúmeras e infrutíferas tentativas para fazer valer o seu direito, se dá conta do ardil que fora vítima. Desesperado, sem alternativas diante das esquivas demoníacas; mat...
