Comprehensible and Compelling
A joint effort from three thought leaders in educational research, linguistics, and literacy acquisition, this book explores the latest research that shows that compelling comprehensive input (CCI) is the baseline for all language and literacy development. It has been established that encouraging reading at all student levels supports literacy—not just literacy in terms of having basic reading and writing abilities, but in being able to perform advanced reading as well as having well-developed listening, speaking, and critical thinking skills. But what kind of reading has the most benefit for young learners? And why? Comprehensible and Compelling: The Causes and Effects of Free Voluntary Reading examines the most recent research and literacy testing results from around the world that document how reading materials must be comprehensible and compelling to bring success. It also presents research findings that show how libraries directly support literacy development, providing arguments and proof that will be invaluable in advocacy efforts for funding and program development.
A Greek Reader
A companion resource for use with N. Clayton Croy’s Primer of Biblical Greek, featuring dozens of simple, enjoyable narratives to reinforce the content and skills introduced by Croy. Too often, Greek readers include difficult primary texts encumbered with glosses, but this reader from Mark Jeong is instead comprised of originally written texts keyed to the vocabulary and grammar taught in Clayton Croy’s Primer of Biblical Greek. Thus fluent, comprehensive reading—rather than painstaking translation—can be the goal. In addition to providing useful practice, Jeong’s engaging narratives will help students of Greek grasp the nuances of particularly complicated aspects of Koine—such as the imperfect tense—by allowing them to see the language “in action” in various textual situations. Each narrative also follows a larger story about the adventures of Philemon, Onesimus, and Paul, making for enjoyable reading that better prepares one for the daunting task of eventually reading the Greek New Testament.
Case Studies in Language Curriculum Design
This casebook covers a wide range of teaching-learning contexts and offers in-depth analyses of ESL/ELT language curriculum design issues. Each case draws on and is linked to the model presented in Nation and Macalister’s Language Curriculum Design.
Rhetoric/Composition/Play through Video Games
An edited collection whose contributors analyze the relationship between writing, learning, and video games/videogaming, these essays consist of academic essays from writing and rhetoric teacher-scholars, who theorize, and contextualize how computer/video games enrich writing practices within and beyond the classroom and the teaching of writing.
Community Series in Novel Biomarkers for Predicting Response to Cancer Immunotherapy, volume II
This Research Topic is the second volume of the “Community Series in Novel Biomarkers for Predicting Response to Cancer Immunotherapy". Please see Volume I here. Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of malignancies. Targeting of immune checkpoints cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4, programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) has led to improving survival in a subset of patients. Despite their remarkable success, clinical benefit remains limited to only a subset of patients. A significant limitation behind these current treatment modalities is an irregularity in clinical response, which is especially pronounced among checkpoint inhibition. Currently, re...
General-Purpose Graphics Processor Architectures
Originally developed to support video games, graphics processor units (GPUs) are now increasingly used for general-purpose (non-graphics) applications ranging from machine learning to mining of cryptographic currencies. GPUs can achieve improved performance and efficiency versus central processing units (CPUs) by dedicating a larger fraction of hardware resources to computation. In addition, their general-purpose programmability makes contemporary GPUs appealing to software developers in comparison to domain-specific accelerators. This book provides an introduction to those interested in studying the architecture of GPUs that support general-purpose computing. It collects together informatio...
Digital Storytelling and Digital Gaming in the 21st Century EFL Classroom
This book is for language researchers, teachers, and practitioners who wish to embark on an educational journey to explore and deepen the understanding and potential of the digital medium. It is the first comprehensive text on Digital Storytelling (DST) as an instructional approach in the EFL university classroom and Digital Game-based Learning (DGBL) in the EFL school setting based on original, ex-Novo gamified experiences. Through specific teaching choices and the creation of context-based multimedia tools and workshops, the book offers a resource – empowered by a detailed description, personalisation, and application of methods – through which teachers and educators can embed these two educational approaches into the curriculum. It also provides productive and promising results on students’ language improvement and enhancement of the so-called 21st Century Skills as required by today’s European Regulations for Lifelong Learning.
Dirgahayu Dwijatmoko
Menurut sosiolog Prancis Marcel Mauss dalam bukunya yang terbit pada pertengahan abad ke-20 dan diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Inggris, The Gift, tepat 55 tahun yang lalu, sebuah hadiah diberikan kepada orang yang kita kasihi untuk tiga alasan: mengkomunikasikan perasaan, memberikan penghargaan, dan menjalin hubungan. Dirgahayu Dwijatmoko dipersembahkan kepada Dr. Benedictus Bherman Dwijatmoko, M.A. yang merayakan ulang tahun ke-65 pada 12 Oktober 2021 untuk lebih dari ketiga alasan yang diutarakan oleh Mauss. Dirgahayu Dwijatmoko berisi 8 tulisan ilmiah-populer yang erat dengan karya dan pengabdian Pak Dwi dan 6 artikel ilmiah seputar linguistik yang ditekuni oleh Pak Dwi. Keempatbelas penyumbang tulisan adalah para sahabat, rekan kerja, dan mantan mahasiswa Pak Dwi. Tidak semuanya ilmuwan sebidang tetapi perjumpaan dan interaksi akademik maupun sosiokultural membuat mereka ingin memberikan kenangan khusus berupa tulisan untuk seorang Dwijatmoko pada momen istimewa ini. Meskipun demikian, pada dasarnya pusparagam tulisan ini adalah kado yang dapat kita tilik bersama isinya.
