Constructing a Future Development Model for China’s Basic Education

By: Dina Pei,Dongming Bao

Focusing on the future development of basic education in China, and on overcoming related issues, this book identifies key breakthroughs, priorities and important fields of basic education reform. In addition, it introduces the “Three Power Model” – decision-making, principals’ leadership, and learning power – to help address the challenges of future development. Unlike much of the research on basic education reform, the book draws on a forward-thinking, realistic and comprehensive project: bringing together 15 universities and research institutes, 16 provincial administration departments, and 100 selected primary and secondary schools, it has also been strongly endorsed by the nation’s leaders. After five years of practice and innovation, it has made significant breakthroughs in many provinces. Sharing unique insights into the project and its outcomes, the book offers an invaluable asset for education researchers, primary and secondary school teachers, and anyone interested in the evolution of basic education in China.

Indiana University Bloomington

America's Legacy Campus

By: J. Terry Clapacs,Susan Moke,Dina Kellams,Carrie Schwier

Amid the forested hills of southern Indiana stands one of America's most beautiful college campuses. Indiana University Bloomington: America's Legacy Campus, the new edition, returns the reader to this architectural gem and cultural touchstone. Revised and updated to include new buildings and features of campus life, it is a must have for any Hoosier. The IU Bloomington campus, rich in architectural tradition, harmonious in building scale and materials, and surrounded by natural beauty, stands today as a testimony to careful campus planning and committed stewardship. Planning principles adopted in the very early stages of campus development have been protected, enhanced, and faithfully preserved, resulting in an institution that can truly be called America's Legacy Campus. Lavishly illustrated and brimming with fascinating details, this book tells the story of Indiana University—a tale not only of buildings, architecture, and growth, but of the talented, dedicated people who brought the buildings to life. Completely updated with new buildings and an epilogue, and now even more lavishly illustrated, this new edition is a lasting tribute to the treasure that is Indiana University Bloomington.

The Interactional Instinct

The Evolution and Acquisition of Language

By: Namhee Lee,Lisa Mikesell,Anna Dina L. Joaquin,Andrea W. Mates,John H. Schumann

The Interactional Instinct explores the evolution of language from the theoretical view that language could have emerged without a biologically instantiated Universal Grammar. In the first part of the book, the authors speculate that a hominid group with a lexicon of about 600 words could combine these items to make larger meanings. Combinations that are successfully produced, comprehended, and learned become part of the language. Any combination that is incompatible with human mental capacities is abandoned. The authors argue for the emergence of language structure through interaction constrained by human psychology and physiology. In the second part of the book, the authors argue that language acquisition is based on an "interactional instinct" that emotionally entrains the infant on caregivers. This relationship provides children with a motivational and attentional mechanism that ensures their acquisition of language. In adult second language acquisition, the interactional instinct is no longer operating, but in some individuals with sufficient aptitude and motivation, successful second-language acquisition can be achieved. The Interactional Instinct presents a theory of language based on linguistic, evolutionary, and biological evidence indicating that language is a culturally inherited artifact that requires no a priori hard wiring of linguistic knowledge.

English For Nursing Career: Students’ Workbook

By: Hafizhatu Nadia,Yansyah,Dina Rafidiyah

Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Indonesia faces many obstacles. Firstly, English is not day to day used so the students have difficulty to practice it. They only use it in the limited time classroom, so teachers have difficulty to make authentic situation for the students to practice the language outside the class. Second obstacle is the students’ bad experiences during their previous schooling in learning English. The students come from different school background; some remote school may not have good teachers, especially in teaching English. Even some students have bad impression that make them hate English. The last thing is teachers still have problem to access updated book, journals, etc. to help them teach English better. This book is to help both teachers and students to enjoy the process of teaching and learning. Materials given are mostly authentic from internet or medication information. The authenticity of the material can give additional motivation for the students.
