Language development theories

Thoroughly revised, the second edition of Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach reflects the recent growth and changes in software standards and development. Outdated material has been deleted and new topics, figures, case studies now complement its solid, accessible treatment of the mathematics and techniques of software testing. Foremost among this edition's refinements is the definition of a generalized pseudocode that replaces the outdated Pascal code used in the examples. The text is now independent of any particular programming language.

This study was an attempt to investigate the possible effects of integrating MI-based activities into developing the EFL students’ speaking skills, and then to find out the students’ evaluation of such an integration of MI-based activities. Therefore, to attain those two main objectives, the mixed research method was adopted: the quantitative approach utilizing a quasi-experimental study in which MI-based activities were integrated into an experiment.

This study examined the effects of teacher talk on creating conditions for foreign language and thinking skills development. Through the lens of socio-cultural theory, we looked at the learning affordance/constraints that teachers in eight English speaking classes at a university in Vietnam created for learners via their actions and interactions with students. Two main, but contrastive interaction patterns emerged from this analysis.

The goal of this lecture series is to provide training in formal thinking to students of applied informatics. Students should learn to analyze and solve problems us- ing formal methods. The class will expose students to a wide set of problems and show ways of solving them. Formal methods, as they are used in theoretical computer science, constitute an essential part of a computer science education, not only for those who target an academic or research career, but also for practi- tioners.

On the one hand, this chapter will deal with many theoretical notions, such as the concept of computation which lies at the heart of automata theory. On the other hand, the exploration we’re about to embark on will let us get to know sev- eral practical techniques and applications, such as taking advantages of compiler compilers, which will hopefully help extending one’s panoply of essential tools.
