Brain-Compatible Foreign Language $65.98 The guiding focus of this study centered on teachers experiences with student learning and language proficiency in a brain-compatible, student-centered environment. The participants in this study discussed teacher student roles and responsibilities and presented best practices and effective strategies used in their classrooms. The role of teacher as facilitator of knowledge and student as participant in this learning engagement is at the heart of student centered learning and constructivist theory. Given the appropriate tools, guidance and environment, the learner not only creates his/her own learning but better comprehends the relationship between cognition and emotion. Likewise, the facilitator recognizes the value of engaging students through activities that spark curiosity, offer novelty and choice, reinforce prior knowledge, instill creativity, challenge senses, affect motivation, pace and chunk content, enhance memory retention, and ultimately teach students how they learn best. Successful mastery of a second language requires that teachers draw on a multiplicity of approaches, methodologies and strategies that reach out to a diverse population of learners.

Learning With A Visual Brain In An Auditory World $22.48 Children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often present parents and educators with perplexing symptoms. Even though the skills of children with ASD can range from very high to very low, they have similar underlying learning systems. Knowledge about these learning systems helps provide direction for choosing effective assessment and intervention methods for helping individuals with ASD learn to behave, to perform academically, and to become socially competent. This book is unique in that the authors are recommending strategies based on the language of the way individuals with ASD learn. Even though many scholars recognize that individuals with ASD use "visual" ways of thinking, most fail to realize that a visual mental language is different from the visual sensory system of seeing something. The book is divided into three sections. Section One (Chapters 1-5) is about the learning system. Section Two (Chapters 6-9) connects the learning of a child with ASD to how the child performs behaviorally, academically, and socially. Finally, Section Three (Chapters 10-15) provides intervention strategies for helping a person (child or adult) with the visual brain characteristic of ASD to fit into an auditory culture.The strategies are language-based and take into consideration the complexity of the underlying biological learning system.

Language and the Brain $128.98 The study of language has increasingly become an area of interdisciplinary interest.

The Brain’s Behind It identifies fallacies, fads, and facts about the brain and learning and gives you valuable recommendations you can use, whether you’re a teacher, parent, or policy-maker. Grades K–12

Understanding the Brain $36.98 Over the last ten years, advances in non-invasive brain scanning and imaging technologies have opened up new methods of work for researchers. More has been learned about the functioning of the brain in the past decade than in all the preceding centuries. Research into the brain’s capacity to develop, learn, and change throughout the will have profound implications for learning and education. The new "science of learning" sheds light on how the brain produces perception, memory, and language, and on the importance of the early and late years in successful lifelong learning. It provides, among other things, insights into how to improve reading and mathematical skills, and highlights the significance of the distinction between nature and nurture in learning and brain development. Understanding the Brain focuses on the importance of adopting a transdisciplinary approach, involving cognitive neuroscience, psychology, education, and health. When teachers, the medical profession, and scientists work together, there is real hope for early diagnosis of, and appropriate intervention in, conditions such as dyslexia or Alzheimer’s disease. These, and many other exciting issues, are discussed in this book.

Language, and the Brain $68.48 In the first comprehensive study of the relationship between music and language from the standpoint of cognitive neuroscience, Aniruddh D. Patel challenges the widespread belief that music and language are processed independently. Since Plato’s time, the relationship between music and language has attracted interest and debate from a wide range of thinkers. Recently, scientific research on this topic has been growing rapidly, as scholars from diverse disciplines, including linguistics, cognitive science, music cognition, and neuroscience are drawn to the music-language interface as one way to explore the extent to which different mental abilities are processed by separate brain mechanisms. Accordingly, the relevant data and theories have been spread across a range of disciplines. This volume provides the first synthesis, arguing that music and language share deep and critical connections, and that comparative research provides a powerful way to study the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying these uniquely human abilities.

Big Brain $20.48 Our big brains, our language ability, and our intelligence make us uniquely human. But barely 10,000 years ago (a mere blip in evolutionary time) human-like creatures called "Boskops" flourished in South Africa. They possessed extraordinary features: forebrains roughly 50% larger than ours, and estimated IQs to match–far surpassing our own. Many of these huge fossil skulls have been discovered over the last century, but most of us have never heard of this scientific marvel.Prominent neuroscientists Gary Lynch and Richard Granger compare the contents of the Boskop brain and our own brains today, and arrive at startling conclusions about our intelligence and creativity. Connecting cutting-edge theories of genetics, evolution, language, memory, learning, and intelligence, Lynch and Granger show the implications of large brains for a broad array of fields, from the current state of the art in Alzheimer’s and other brain disorders, to new advances in brain-based robots that see and converse with us, and the means by which neural prosthetics– replacement parts for the brain–are being designed and tested. The authors demystify the complexities of our brains in this fascinating and accessible book, and give us tantalizing insights into our humanity–its past, and its future.

Language And Learning $54.98 Language And Learning : An Interactional Perspective (Contemporary Analysis in Education Series) by Gordon Wells Edition 1 Published in 1985 by Routledge

Language and Learning $71.98 Once again, this comprehensive, easy-to-read book explores the way in which children learn language, the way language is taught to children, and how these two roads to language sometimes diverge–always giving equal treatment to first and second language learning. Piper tracks language acquisition, from birth through the school years, presenting numerous cases studies of children’s experiences as a means of illustrating stages of language development and the sequence of skills attainment. In addition, she thoroughly covers bilingualism, paying particular attention to the differences between second language learning at home and in a school setting.

Brain-Based Learning With Class $28.98 In this book, the authors have adapted Eric Jensenâ??s 10 principles that need to be implemented in the classroom for a brain-compatible approach to teaching and learning. These principles include uniqueness, emotions, nutrition, and elimination of threat. The book also provides basic information about the brain, ways to teach students about the brain, and dozens of practical brain-based activities for students of every age.

Language Learning $6.48 Research on language development has often been focused on child language learning, and is usually restricted to monolingual learners. To date, relatively little attention has been given to language development beyond early childhood. However, changing lifestyle patterns and life events increasingly suggest that developing a linguistic repertoire remains important throughout the years of middle childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Recent emphasis on multi-literacies and internet communication has reinforced the need for people not only to develop the languages they already know, but to learn new languages in order to maintain and develop ever broadening relationships. Language Learning provides an introduction to language development that differs from existing books in that it traces language and cognitive development (together with the associated debates) from babyhood, through the school years of middle childhood and adolescence, into adulthood and the world of work. Because the world trend is towards learning to speak, read, and write more than one language, this comprehensive book includes descriptions and discussions of learning more than one language sequentially and simultaneously. The authors draw extensively on multicultural and multilingual contexts where they have lived, worked, and researched. It is ideal as an introductory student text and each chapter contains ideas and suggestions for students to follow-up and being their own small-scale investigations into language development.

How the Brain Evolved Language $44.98 How can an infinite number of sentences be generated from one human mind? How did language evolve in apes? In this book Donald Loritz addresses these and other fundamental and vexing questions about language, cognition, and the human brain. He starts by tracing how evolution and natural adaptation selected certain features of the brain to perform communication functions, then shows how those features developed into designs for human language. The result — what Loritz calls an adaptive grammar — gives a unified explanation of language in the brain and contradicts directly (and controversially) the theory of innateness proposed by, among others, Chomsky and Pinker.

Right Brain/Left Brain Leadership $49.98 Leaders of all kinds, in all fields, need to be methodical and logical, but also strategic, innovative, and intuitive. Yet the two different styles require different modes of thinking, or what author Mary Lou Decosterd describes as shifts to right brain, or left brain, thinking. Those who operate in what she explains as the left brain mode develop strong logical, rational, and analytical abilities, but they may downplay the value of right brain thinking, which spurs intuition, subjectivity and creativity. And those who operate primarily in the later mode lose the value of the former. A leader who is habitually a "right-brainer" sees only the big picture rather than its parts, is creative but not usually analytical, and is emotional far more than logical. So who is more effective? Veteran consultant Decosterd shows here how those with maximum success are leaders who understand both styles and have the ability to switch between the two at key moments to broaden their overall effectiveness. In the language of leadership, this pragmatic guide provides an all-encompassing view of how to maximize brain power and get to next-level leadership impact. Through case examples, simple assessment and unique learning tools, this book takes the reader through a new process for examining his or her current leadership style and skill sets, and framing a plan for greater success. Decosterd explains how, through use of popular leader exemplars, leadership examples and concise steps and summaries, every person can, at virtually any stage of personal and professional accomplishment, become a more consummate leader.

The New Brain $5.98 The era of the New Brain is upon us. Once a mysterious, hidden organ locked within our skulls, modern brain science now provides us with insights about the brain that only a few decades ago would have been considered the stuff of science fiction. We can now study the brain in "real time," witnessing how it functions while taking a test, practicing a craft, experiencing an emotion, or making a decision. Brain tests can even indicate when we’re telling the truth or when we’re lying.Dr. Richard Restak reports from the frontiers of modern brain science and asks the relevant questions such as, is Attention Deficit Disorder the brain syndrome of the future? Is it a "normal" response to the modern world’s demand to attend to several things at once? What happens in our brains when the image replaces language as the primary means of communication? How does exposure to violent imagery affect our brains? Are we capable of "genius" and training our brains to perform at a superior level?The New Brain is the story of technology and biology converging to influence the evolution of the human brain. Dramatic advances are now possible, as well as the potential for misuse and abuse.Dr. Restak, author of more than 15 books on the brain, leads you through the latest research and the expanding field of cognitive science, explains its implications, and even offers practical advice such as how to:* Understand and mitigate the affects of media images and technology on our thoughts and emotions* Estimate the effects of stress on our brain function and how to predict who is at greatest risk for harm* Develop the habits that result in peak brain performanceNo longer science fiction or fantasy, The New Brain recounts what our brains are capable of– today.

The Art of Changing the Brain $19.48 Neuroscience tells us that the products of the mind–thought, emotions, artistic creation–are the result of the interactions of the biological brain with our senses and the physical world: in short, that thinking and learning are the products of a biological process.This realization, that learning actually alters the brain by changing the number and strength of synapses, offers a powerful foundation for rethinking teaching practice and one’s philosophy of teaching.James Zull invites teachers in higher education or any other setting to accompany him in his exploration of what scientists can tell us about the brain and to discover how this knowledge can influence the practice of teaching. He describes the brain in clear non-technical language and an engaging conversational tone, highlighting its functions and parts and how they interact, and always relating them to the real world of the classroom and his own evolution as a teacher. "The Art of Changing the Brain" is grounded in the practicalities and challenges of creating effective opportunities for deep and lasting learning, and of dealing with students as unique learners.

Designing Brain-Compatible Learning $12.48 `There`s a strong possibility that this will become one of the most used books on the educator`s bookshelf, and that`s all to the good because ultimately it will be the students who benefit.` – Pat Wolfe Translating vast amounts of research into a teacher-friendly, practical guide to brain-compatible instruction, the authors have taken what is known about how the brain learns, combined it with the best of what is known about teaching, and generated the ultimate brain-compatible teaching kit.

Complete with blackline masters and a list of resources, this is the most thorough guide to brain-compatible learning.

Learning a New Language $17.48 “Nothing we can ever say about God, no words, will ever be adequate to describe the burning mystery which is the Divine, but opening up the vocabulary to include feminine names and pronouns will bring a dimension to our understanding of God that has been tragically neglected. The idea of SHE WHO IS brings to bear all the loving, care-giving, wisdom-supplying richness of the female created in God’s image. The reality of the feminine in God is an idea we must consider and wrestle with if justice for all is to be a reality in the world. We must learn a new language.” (from Learning a New Language)

Image, Language, Brain $6.98 Recent attempts to unify linguistic theory and brain science have grown out of recognition that a proper understanding of language in the brain must reflect the steady advances in linguistic theory of the last forty years. The first Mind Articulation Project Symposium addressed two main questions: How can the understanding of language from linguistic research be transformed through the study of the biological basis of language? And how can our understanding of the brain be transformed through this same research? The best model so far of such mutual constraint is research on vision. Indeed, the two long-term goals of the Project are to make linguistics and brain science mutually constraining in the way that has been attempted in the study of the visual system and to formulate a cognitive theory that more strongly constrains visual neuroscience. The papers in this volume discuss the current status of the cognitive/neuroscience synthesis in research on vision, whether and how linguistics and neuroscience can be integrated, and how integrative brain mechanisms can be studied through the use of noninvasive brain-imaging techniques.

Brain Lateralization in Children $14.98 Functional differences between the left and right hemispheres early in life have been well documented over the last 2 decades. There has been much speculation about how these brain asymmetries affect mental development in children. Are early hemispheric differences important for normal development? Can they be used to predict long-term outcomes or disabilities, such as delayed language or learning disabilities? Do children with abnormal patterns of lateralization develop normally? Toward answering such clinically relevant questions, BRAIN LATERALIZATION IN CHILDREN is a comprehensive summary of state-of-the-art research on cerebral asymmetries in developmental psychology and education. A complete single-volume reference, each section in this outstanding book provides an overview of the issues, describes relevant research techniques, and critically reviews the literature. Almost every chapter has a literature review table that gives the reader a comprehensive summary of work done to date. Topics covered include: * BASIC PHYSIOLOGICAL ISSUES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENCES–such as the role of corpus callosum growth,pre- and perinatal experience, brain maturation, and early unilateral brain damage on the development of functional asymmetries * THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LATERAL BRAIN ORGANIZATION AND A NORMAL CHILD’S INTELLECTUAL, EMOTIONAL, AND EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT * THE ROLE OF HANDEDNESS IN DEVELOPMENT * DEVELOPMENTAL DIFFICULTIES–such as reading and learning disabilities, depression, deafness, delayed language development, and autismThe most detailed and comprehensive volume ever published on the theme, BRAIN LATERALIZATION IN CHILDREN is an invaluable resource for developmental psychologists, consultants in educational settings and clinics, and researchers in psychobiological development, developmental neuropsychology, and cognitive/emotional development. Speech pathologists, remedial teachers, and special educators interested in reading and learning disabilities will find much of value. It is an excellent reference text for graduate students in any of these fields.

Building the Reading Brain, PreK-3 $30.48 "An excellent, important book!"Robert SylwesterAuthor, A Biological Brain in a Cultural Classroom "Although there is an enormous amount of information, the simplicity of the language, the chronology of reading development, and the suggested practices or strategies at various stages create a comprehensive, meaningful, and relevant text."Yvette Jackson, Executive DirectorNational Urban AllianceMeet the most important challenge of education by ensuring that every child can read!The brain is hardwired for spoken language but not for reading. Yet reading skills serve as the primary foundation of all school-based learning.

Patricia Wolfe and Pamela Nevills bring insight and assistance to preschool educators, parents and care providers, kindergarten and primary grade teachers for this essential process. They explain the development of the young brain, the acquisition of language as preparation for reading, and the nurturing and instruction process from birth to age eight. This unique guide demonstrates how the brain of a child masters the reading process of decoding print and reading with fluency and comprehension and addresses related literacy skills of writing and spelling. Brain-friendly strategies that lay the groundwork for reading success include: Activities to support phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency Applications of games, music, play, and instruction Intervention suggestions for children who are challenged or discouraged early readers Learning to read is a complex, gradual process that begins in infancy and Building the Reading Brain, PreK-3 provides insights and guidelines to help early childhood educators, parents, and care providers and K-3 teachers to meet the challenge of insuring that every child learns to read with fluency and comprehension.

Second Language Learning $14.98 Second Language Learning : Theoretical Foundations (Applied Linguistics and Language Study) by Michael S. Smith Published in 1994 by Addison Wesley Publishing Company

Children With Traumatic Brain Injury $25.48 Children with Traumatic Brain Injury is a comprehensive, must-have reference that provides parents with the support and information they need to help their child recover from a closed-head injury and prevent further incidents. Coping with traumatic brain injury (TBI) involves a complex process of readjustment to the changes in a once healthy child and affects everyone in the family. Traumatic brain injury occurs when the brain abruptly and violently moves within the skull as a result of extreme force to the head during an automobile, biking, or playground accident, for example. The effects of TBI can range from mild to severe and recovery can take from weeks to years. Although each child’s condition is unique, all TBI patients experience impairment in one or more of the following areas: cognition; speech-language; emotion/behavior; and motor skills. While TBI can happen to anyone, children, particularly teens, are susceptible. And, children who have already had one TBI are at greatest risk. Written by a team of medical specialists, therapists, educators, and an attorney, Children with Traumatic Brain Injury covers: What is traumatic brain injury?; Medical concerns; Rehabilitation and treatments; Coping and adjustment; Effects on learning and thinking, speech and language, behavior; Educational needs; and legal issues. Throughout the book, a case study of a boy who was injured at age eight, illustrates the effects of TBI on education, socialization and independence. Parent statements at the end of each chapter attest to the variety of response families have, and offer insight about the experience of raising a child with TBI. A resource guide of support and advocacy organizations, a reading list, and glossary round out this authoritative guide. Children with Traumatic Brain Injury is useful to professionals who provide services to children with TBI and their families. General and special educators will find it essential reading to help their students with TBI. But most of all, Children with Traumatic Brain Injury gives parents the hope and facts they need to improve the outcome of their child’s recovery.

Language Learning Motivation $26.48 Language Learning Motivation : Pathways To The New Century (Second Language Teaching and Curriculum Center Technical Report Series No. 11) by Rebecca, and L. Oxford Published in 1999 by University of Hawaii Press

Learning to Learn in a Second Language $22.48 [This] is a readable resource book which elementary bilingual teachers will find both insightful and practical. – ESLEJChildren from language backgrounds other than English represent a quarter of all our school population. Learning to Learn in a Second Language has been written specifically for all teachers of children for whom English is a second language, although it will be equally helpful to teachers of English speaking children. The book is based on the assumption that the classroom program is a major resource for language development, and that a responsive program takes into account the fact that children are not only learning a new language, but that they are learning in that language as well. It exemplifies current theories of second language development through a wide range of strategies and practical suggestions for the classroom teacher.

Dyslexia, Learning, and the Brain $36.48 Dyslexia research has made dramatic progress since the mid-1980s. Once discounted as a "middle-class myth," dyslexia is now the subject of a complexâ??and confusingâ??body of theoretical and empirical research. In Dyslexia, Learning, and the Brain, leading dyslexia researchers Roderick Nicolson and Angela Fawcett provide a uniquely broad and coherent analysis of dyslexia theory. Unlike most dyslexia research, which addresses the question "what is the cause of the reading disability called dyslexia?" the authors’ work has addressed the deeper question of "what is the cause of the learning disability that manifests as reading problems?" This perspective allows them to place dyslexia research within the much broader disciplines of cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience and has led to a rich framework, including two established leading theories, the automatization deficit account (1990) and the cerebellar deficit hypothesis (2001). Nicolson and Fawcett show that extensive evidence has accumulated to support these two theories and that they may be seen as subsuming the established phonological deficit account and sensory processing accounts. Moving to the explanatory level of neural systems, they argue that all these disorders reflect problems in some component of the procedural learning system, a multiregion system including major components of cortical and subcortical regions. The authors’ answer to the fundamental question "what is dyslexia?" offers a challenge and motivation for research throughout the learning disabilities, laying the foundations for future progress.

Adaptive Second Language Learning $111.98 In our globalized world, English is increasingly the language of learning and of business. More and more international students look to English-speaking countries for their university education to prepare themselves for this changed world. To get on a degree course, they need English. These language learners are different in their motivation from those learning English as a foreign language, and from those learning English in a bilingual setting. This book presents a study that focuses on learners of English for academic purposes in Australia. It suggests a motivational model informed by theorizing in language learning and education. The proposed model of adaptive language learning identifies the motivational characteristics of those who succeed in learning to speak English. It looks at self-efficacy, anxiety, motivation and learning strategies in relation to speaking. Issues emerged in the study relating to learners from Confucian Heritage Cultures (for example, Japan, China and Korea). This book will be of particular interest to researchers and scholars in the area of second language motivation.
