Book Description
Bringing together an international team of researchers, this volume explores practice in second language learning - activities which aim to develop skills in or knowledge of a second language. The book begins with two theoretical overviews of practice as applied to learning to speak in a second language and in cognitive accounts of second language acquisition. This theory underpins the volume, which is split into two main sections: receptive and productive practice. The studies look at practice in English, German and Spanish as a second language in various contexts including traditional classrooms, periods of study abroad and online language learning. The differing research designs used mean that the chapters contain clear implications for classroom pedagogy and further directions for research, teaching and learning in different contexts.

Book Description
"Winston Logan, un ingeniero eléctrico, ha inventado un holograma que revolucionará la industria del entretenimiento de la visualización de la TV, DVD, juegos de video y películas en los cines. Cuando les mostraba la máquina a su esposa, Amber, a su hijo, Dallas, y a su hija, Katie, y a sus vecinos de al lado, Derek Curtis, su esposa, Kimberly, y su hija, Kayla, un evento fuera de este mundo ocurre, que hace que la m'quina no funcione correctamente. Mientras veían el video The Volatile West, que Salió al aire en la década de 1880, Winston, Amber, Dallas, su novia, Naomi, y Kayla estaban bailando en el holograma cuando fueron transportados de repente al viejo oeste, convirtiéndose en personajes del video. Comenzaron su aventura en el hostil territorio suroeste de los EE.UU., donde los criminales andaban libremente y el peligro acechaba en todos lados. Dallas debe usar su entrenamiento de Fuerzas Especiales, junto con sus habilidades de las artes marciales para ayudar y proteger a una ciudad y salvar a su familia y amigos de las pandillas, un pistolero contratado y secuestradores. Mientras tanto, Derek, también un ingeniero eléctrico, junto con Kimberly y Katie, deben encontrar el fallo y rescatar a su familia y amigos de la máquina de holograma."

Book Description
“Nuila’s storytelling gifts place him alongside colleagues like Atul Gawande.” —Los Angeles Times This “compelling mixture of health care policy and gripping stories from the frontlines of medicine” (The Guardian) explores the question: where does an uninsured person go when turned away by hospitals, clinics, and doctors? Here, we follow the lives of five uninsured Houstonians as their struggle for survival leads them to a hospital that prioritizes people over profit. First, we meet Stephen, the restaurant franchise manager who signed up for his company’s lowest priced plan, only to find himself facing insurmountable costs after a cancer diagnosis. Then Christian—a young college student and retail worker who can’t seem to get an accurate diagnosis, let alone treatment, for his debilitating knee pain. Geronimo, thirty-six years old, has liver failure, but his meager disability check disqualifies him for Medicaid—and puts a life-saving transplant just out of reach. Roxana, who’s lived in the community without a visa for more than two decades, suffers from complications related to her cancer treatment. And finally, there’s Ebonie, a young mother whose high-risk pregnancy endangers her life. Whether due to immigration status, income, or the vagaries of state Medicaid law, all five are denied access to care. For all five, this exclusion could prove life-threatening. Each patient eventually lands at Ben Taub, the county hospital where Dr. Nuila has worked for over a decade. Nuila delves with empathy into the experiences of his patients, braiding their dramas into a singular narrative that contradicts the established idea that the only way to receive good health care is with good insurance. As readers follow the moving twists and turns in each patient’s story, it’s impossible to deny that our system is broken—and that Ben Taub’s innovative model, where patient care is more important than insurance payments, could help light the path forward.
