The Power of Reading: Insights from the Research, 2nd Edition

Insights from the Research

Continuing the case for free voluntary reading set out in the book's 1993 first edition, this new, updated, and much-looked-for second edition explores new research done on the topic in the last ten years as well as looking anew at some of the original research reviewed. Krashen also explores research surrounding the role of school and public libraries and the research indicating the necessity of a print-rich environment that provides light reading (comics, teen romances, magazines) as well as the best in literature to assist in educating children to read with understanding and in second language acquisition. He looks at the research surrounding reading incentive/rewards programs and specifically at the research on AR (Accelerated Reader) and other electronic reading products.

Teacher Language Awareness

Teacher Language Awareness (TLA) is an area of increasing interest to those involved in language teacher education. This book provides an introduction to the nature of TLA, assesses its impact upon teaching and its potential impact on learning. The book focuses specifically on grammar. It aims to encourage teachers and others involved in language education to think more deeply about the importance of TLA ad to adopt a more principled approach to the planning of those parts of their programmes assosciated with it.

Computers in mathematical research

based on the proceedings of a conference

In this stimulating volume, mathematicians from a wide range of disciplines explore the many ways in which computers are used in research within their fields, both to explore new topics and prove results. There are contributions on the impact of the computer on research in number theory (including the Riemann Zeta function), cryptography, combinatorics, symbolic manipulation, geometry, group theory, statistics, and applied mathematics. Readers will find up-to-date results and uniquely interesting reviews of current work.
