Pronunciation is a rich resource of imaginative ideas and techniques for teaching pronunciation;this book builds students' confidence by encouraging a holistic approach.
It includes activities to improve rhythm, stress, and intonation as well as individual sounds.
Calculus and Advanced Functions Features The basic concepts of calculus and advanced functions are taught in a wide variety of practical contexts to accommodate students with diverse interests and goals. Each chapter begins with a modeling math problem illustrating real world examples of where calculus can be applied.
Math Refresher for Scientists and Engineers, Third Edition is intended for people with technical backgrounds who would like to refresh their math skills. This book is unique because it contains in one source an overview of the essential elements of a wide range of mathematical topics that are normally found in separate texts.
SAT Math Essentials contains hundreds of practice exercises to help students prepare for the more difficult math section in the new SAT. Featuring mostly multiple-choice questions, the book contains one 20-minute and two 25-minute sections that cover such concepts as arithmetic, geometry, algebra and functions, statistics and data analysis, and probability. Included is access to free online math tests that mirror those on the SAT, with exercises instantly scored and diagnosed, plus pointers to further study.
This PhD by project was partially funded by a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service and a grant from the Telematics Course Development Fund Trust.
This study attempted to combine the benefits of multimedia learning, adaptive interfaces, and learning style theory by constructing a novel e-learning environment. The environment was designed to accommodate individual learning styles while students progressed through an introductory course on computer programming.
The accommodation of learning styles with different forms of instruction has been shown to improve learning gain and learner attitudes in several classroom-based studies. In a classroom environment, one instructor usually teaches many learners simultaneously and as such, individualised instruction can be tedious and time-consuming. In comparison, an e-learning environment can respond to every learner and his or her needs individually with a timely and precise adaptation of learning materials.
