Intelligenza di un genio
by James Morcan Lance Morcan Augusto CelentanoIntelligenza di un genio: Tecniche segrete e tecnologie per aumentare il QI di James Morcan, Lance Morcan Il trattato definitivo sui metodi di apprendimento accelerato. Scritto da James Morcan e Lance Morcan, autori di romanzi, registi e ricercatori indipendenti, con la prefazione dell’illustre scienziato giapponese Takaaki Musha, "Intelligenza di un genio" sfata il mito che geni si nasce e non si diventa. Svela come, nella maggior parte dei casi, l’intelligenza superiore alla media sia acquisita attraverso tecniche cognitive superiori o tecnologie di stimolazione cerebrale. Tra i geni più noti di cui si parla c’è il fondatore della Apple Steve Jobs che, a 19 anni, cominciò a praticare un’antica disciplina in grado di attivare parti precedentemente dormienti del suo cervello; Albert Einstein che arrivò alla straordinaria teoria della relatività usando un raro metodo per accedere al subconscio; Kim Peek (il vero Rain Man) capace di leggere qualsiasi libro in cinque minuti e comprenderlo per intero; il genio della matematica indiano Srinivasa Ramanujan che, pur non avendo ricevuto nessuna istruzione, creò formule straordinarie sbalordendo il mondo accademico; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart che compose intere opere in uno stato di alterazione mentale. Tra le scoperte che vengono rivelate ai lettori ci sono anche le onde cerebrali comuni nei geni e i vari sistemi per indurre tali onde; tecniche mentali che l'élite mondiale e le celebrità usano in silenzio per elaborare informazioni durante il sonno o in mondi virtuali; sostanze chimiche che studenti e intellettuali in tutto il mondo adoperano per potenziare al massimo il cervello, e tecnologie all’avanguardia che importanti uomini d’affari e atleti professionisti impiegano per ottenere un vantaggio mentale sui concorrenti.
Intelligibility in World Englishes: Theory and Application (ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series)
by Cecil L. NelsonIntelligibility is the term most generally used to address the complex of criteria that describe, broadly, how useful someone’s English is when talking or writing to someone else. Set within the paradigm of world Englishes – which posits that the Englishes of the world may be seen as flexibly categorized into three Circles (Inner, Outer, Expanding) in terms of their historical developments – this text provides a comprehensive overview of the definitions and scopes of intelligibility, comprehensibility and interpretability, and addresses key topics within this paradigm: Who – if anyone – provides the models and norms for a given population of English users? Hybridity and creativity in world Englishes Evaluating paradigms: misinformation and disinformation Practicalities of dealing with the widening variety of Englishes Is English "falling apart"? The much-debated issue of intelligibility touches not only sociolinguistic theory but all aspects of English language teaching, second language acquisition, language curriculum planning, and regional or national language planning. Designed for students, teacher educators, and scholars internationally, each chapter includes ‘Topics for Discussion and Assignments’ and ‘Suggestions for Further Reading’.
Intelligibility, Tones and Young Beginner Learners of Mandarin Chinese (Routledge Chinese Language Pedagogy)
by Robert NealTwo decades ago, Mandarin Chinese seemed set to become a mainstream school subject in Anglophone settings. Yet current learning outcomes are generally disappointing. Is Chinese too difficult for learners at this level? Should it be left to the posh kids with pushy parents?Set within the context of teaching and learning Chinese at an inner-city secondary school in the North of England, and adopting a case study research design, this book aims to develop research-informed insights into the nature of the pronunciation challenges facing beginner learners of Chinese.While existing research has shown that producing native-like tones is difficult for Anglophone learners, the question of how important tones are for intelligibility has been largely ignored. Do heavily accented tones actually matter? Which specific areas of the learners’ speech signal mislead their listeners? How aware are learners of their own pronunciation errors?Teachers of Chinese may not be able to solve entrenched geopolitical tensions, but we can lay the foundations for a stronger engagement with China through excellent teaching. However, before authoritative pedagogical interventions can be made, far more understanding is required of not only how adolescent beginners learn Chinese in school settings, but also what can be realistically expected of them.

Intensive Exposure Experiences in Second Language Learning
by Carmen MuñozThis volume brings together studies dealing with second language learning in contexts that provide intensive exposure to the target language. In doing so, it highlights the role of intensive exposure as a critical distinctive characteristic in the comparison of learning processes and outcomes from different learning contexts: naturalistic and foreign language instruction, stay abroad and at home, and extensive and intensive instruction programmes. The different chapters represent a wide range of learning contexts and types of learning, as well as different approaches that yield much needed evidence on the role of context of acquisition in second language learning.
Intensive Interaction: Theoretical Perspectives
by Dave HewettIntensive Interaction is an approach to teaching the fundamentals of communication to children and adults who have severe learning difficulties or autism, and who are still at an early stage of communication development. Its simplicity and effectiveness has been one of the major themes in the widespread practitioner dissemination that has taken place during the last twenty years. Despite the human simplicity of the approach, intensive interaction relates to, or is influenced in practice by, a wide range of interconnecting theories and academic standpoints. With contributions from leading authorities, Dave Hewett provides a comprehensive and detailed description of the theoretical landscape of a now established methodology. The most prominent related theories and issues are reviewed, with Intensive Interaction set within their contexts. Issues covered include: - the approach within education and the curriculum - intensive interaction within adult services - effects on organisational change and development - neurology and learning outcomes - intensive Interaction and the Central Triad of autism - emotional learning and development outcomes - adoption of Intensive Interaction Providing a timely theoretical and academic overview to Intensive Interaction practice, this book marks a substantial theoretical waypoint to future development of interactive approaches generally. It is a vital resource of in-depth knowledge for anyone studying Special Educational Needs and Education. Dave Hewett is an independent educational consultant and has published widely on Intensive Interaction since his role in its development.
