English as an additional language : meeting the challenge in the classroom.

Recurso con CD con ideas para orientar a los profesores de primaria y secundaria en la enseñanza del inglés como segundo idioma.

Teaching children English as an additional language : a programme for 7-11 years old.

En Inglaterra, en muchas escuelas, dos tercios de los niños de una clase de unos 30 alumnos, sólo hablan inglés en el colegio, utilizando en sus casas su lengua materna. Ante esta situación, el libro presenta un programa de enseñanza en diez semanas orientado a niños de entre 7 y 11 años (Key Stage 2) para los que el inglés es un nuevo idioma, y les ayuda a aprender vocabulario, preguntas y frases básicas útiles en sus rutinas diarias. Con este método los profesores podrán identificar las necesidades individuales de cada niño, enseñar gramática y vocabulario, disponer de material de apoyo para las actividades y evaluar a los alumnos.

Additional compact formulas for vibrational dynamic dipole polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities

Compact expressions, complete through second order in electrical and/or mechanical anharmonicity, are given for the dynamic dipole vibrational polarizability and dynamic first and second vibrational hyperpolarizabilities. Certain contributions not previously formulated are now included

More appropriate: additional stories for students who are hearing impaired using the "Specialized Program Individualizing Reading Excellence" (S.P.I.R.E.) curriculum

S.P.I.R.E., at use at Central Institute for the Deaf, is a comprehensive, multi-sensory systematic reading and language program that targets at risk and struggling students. The purpose of this project was to write additional stories and sentences for students who are hearing impaired through reader 2 that may be used in conjunction with the exiting stories and supplements.

When does ignorance make us smart? Additional factors guiding heuristic inference

“Fast & frugal” heuristics represent an appealing way of implementing bounded rationality and decision-making under pressure. The recognition heuristic is the simplest and most fundamental of these heuristics. Simulation and experimental studies have shown that this ignorance-driven heuristic inference can prove superior to knowledge based inference (Borges, Goldstein, Ortman & Gigerenzer, 1999; Goldstein & Gigerenzer, 2002) and have shown how the heuristic could develop from ACT-R’s forgetting function (Schooler & Hertwig, 2005). Mathematical analyses also demonstrate that, under certain conditions, a “less-is-more effect” will always occur (Goldstein & Gigerenzer, 2002). The further analyses presented in this paper show, however, that these conditions may constitute a special case and that the less-is-more effect in decision-making is subject to the moderating influence of the number of options to be considered and the framing of the question.
