Teaching foreign languages in the primary school.

Muestra que la enseñanza de idiomas en la escuela primaria puede ser eficaz y agradable sin importar el idioma materno del alumno, ni qué nivel ha alcanzado el maestro en su aprendizaje del idioma. Incluye una visión general de la enseñanza del idioma, estudios de casos, capítulos teóricos sobre la adquisición del lenguaje del segundo idioma y métodos de enseñanza, seguidos por capítulos prácticos sobre cómo los niños desarrollan las habilidades de escucha, habla, lectura escritura y estrategias de aprendizaje, cómo utilizar juegos, canciones e historias de manera eficaz y cómo facilitar la transición entre las escuelas primarias y secundarias.

The European Declarative System, Database, and Languages

The EP2025 EDS project develops a highly parallel information server that supports established high-value interfaces. We describe the motivation for the project, the architecture of the system, and the design and application of its database and language subsystems. The Elipsys logic programming language, its advanced applications, EDS Lisp, and the Metal machine translation system are examined.

Simultaneous observations of reconnection pulses at Cluster and their effects on the cusp aurora seen at Chinese Yellow River Station

While the Cluster spacecraft were located near the high-latitude magnetopause, between 10:10 and 10:40 UT on 16 January 2004, three typical flux transfer event (FTE) signatures were observed. During this interval, simultaneous and conjugated all-sky camera measurements, recorded at Yellow River Station, Svalbard, are available at 630.0 and 557.7nm that show poleward-moving auroral forms (PMAFs), consistent with magnetic reconnection at dayside magnetopause. Simultaneous FTEs seen at the magnetopause mainly move northward, but having duskward (eastward) and tailward velocity components, roughly consistent with the observed direction of motion of the PMAFs in all-sky images. Between the PMAFs meridional keograms, extracted from the all-sky images, show intervals of lower intensity aurora which migrate equatorward just before the PMAFs intensify. This is strong evidence for an equatorward eroding and poleward moving open-closed boundary (OCB) associated with a variable magnetopause reconnection rate under variable IMF conditions. From the durations of the PMAFs we infer that the evolution time of FTEs is 5-11 minutes from its origin on magnetopause to its addition to the polar cap.
