Contest Problem Book II: Annual High School Contests of the Mathematical Association of America, 1961-1965
The thesis that selective problem solving can be a vital factor in learning mathematics needs no extended defense. It is implicit in the suggestion by some curriculum experts that problems be made the central point of topical development. A good problem, like the acorn, has in it the potential for grand development.
The Education of English Language Learners: Research to Practice (Challenges in Language and Literacy)
This comprehensive volume describes evidence-based strategies for supporting English language learners (ELLs) by promoting meaningful communication and language use across the curriculum. Leading experts explain how and why learning is different for ELLs and pinpoint specific best practices for the classroom, illustrated with vivid examples. Particular attention is given to ways in which learning English is intertwined with learning the student's home language.
Complex Predicates: Cross-linguistic Perspectives on Event Structure
Complex predicates are multipredicational, but monoclausal structures. They have proven problematic for linguistic theory, particularly for proposed distinctions between the lexicon, morphology, and syntax. This volume focuses on the mapping from morphosyntactic structures to event structure, and in particular, the constraints on possible mappings. The volume showcases the 'coverb construction' a complex predicate construction which, though widespread, has received little attention in the literature.
