Book Description
Innovative Vocabulary Acquisition Method (IVAM) helps to expand learners’ vocabulary acquisition by arousing or creating learners’ sense of curiosity to explore the meanings of words. IVAM is designed to inspire learners to visualize the “images” of their respective Commonly-Used Words (CUWs) and/ or Commonly-Seen Unfamiliar Words (CS-UWs) as they encountered other targeted Unfamiliar Words (UWs). The Referred Images (RIs) will induce learners to become curious about the Encountered Unfamiliar Words (EUWs) which partially or totally resemble, or almost appear like their CUWs, hence, creating the interest among language learners to explore their meanings. IVAM is formulated to help language learners to build or enhance their vocabulary acquisition. This method is very dynamic and can be customized to suit different learners’ language competencies. The method, as well as the book, is very practical for Level 2 primary school pupils, secondary school students, matriculation students and students in institutions of higher learning. The exercises in this book are aimed to assist users to enhance their grasp on the iVAM concept through various types of specially selected UWs or low frequency words. Hence, the book can be suitable as a workbook or an iVAM training module for teachers and parents. The method is also suitable for any English language learner who aspires to learn English as a second or a foreign language.

Book Description
For more than two decades, the concept of student engagement has grown from simple attention in class to a construct comprised of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that embody and further develop motivation for learning. Similarly, the goals of student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought together clearly and comprehensively in the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement. The Handbook guides readers through the field’s rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation, and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters on measurement methods and issues round out this important resource. Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include: Engagement across developmental stages. Self-efficacy in the engaged learner. Parental and social influences on engagement and achievement motivation. The engaging nature of teaching for competency development. The relationship between engagement and high-risk behavior in adolescents. Comparing methods for measuring student engagement. An essential guide to the expanding knowledge base, the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching and teacher education, social work, and educational policy.

Book Description
Roots of language was originally published in 1981 by Karoma Press (Ann Arbor). It was the first work to systematically develop a theory first suggested by Coelho in the late nineteenth century: that the creation of creole languages somehow reflected universal properties of language. The book also proposed that the same set of properties would be found to emerge in normal first-language acquisition and must have emerged in the original evolution of language. These proposals, some of which were elaborated in an article in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1984), were immediately controversial and gave rise to a great deal of subsequent research in creoles, much of it aimed at rebutting the theory. The book also served to legitimize and stimulate research in language evolution, a topic regarded as off-limits by linguists for over a century. The present edition contains a foreword by the author bringing the theory up to date; a fuller exposition of many of its aspects can be found in the author's most recent work, More than nature needs (Harvard University Press, 2014).
