Cultural Learning Styles in Language Education : A Special Reference to Asian Learning Styles
This book presents a nuanced look at the relationship between language learning styles and culture to illuminate how these important constructs are understood, employed and play out in the real world.Through the lens of different learning style dimensions—cognitive, affective, process-centred, environment-centred and cultural—Li unpacks and examines the commonly accepted tensions between learning styles, culture, teacher assumptions and teaching approaches.With a focus on Asian learning styles and Chinese learners, Li addresses the past and current debates and reconceptualises the roles and tensions between students’ learning, students’ cultural backgrounds and teaching styles.Li adeptly navigates this controversial arena to demystify preconceptions and provide avenues for innovative and effective classroom practices in language teaching.Ideal for pre-service ESL/EFL teachers, researchers and scholars, this book bridges the gap between research and practice on culture and language learning in the classroom.

Knowledge, Information, and Business Education in the British Atlantic World, 1620–1760
Accurate information is essential to successful business activity.The early modern period saw an increase in printed commercial information, including newspapers, printed exchange rates, and educational texts--part of the 'print revolution' that permeated all aspects of the early modern world.Rather than relying on externally-produced printed works, commercial agents retained agency in creating and sharing their own business and educational information, which was shared in other forms and prioritised and valued over printed material.This book explores the ways that merchants and other commercial agents learned about business in the early modern British Atlantic World.It considers how they acquired, dispersed, stored, and used information, as well as considering their contribution to creating and shaping that information.Prioritising a wide range of manuscript material held in disparate collections, including merchants' correspondence, letter-books, notebooks, family papers, exercise books, and ships' logs, Talbott explores the ways that knowledge, information, and business education was created, circulated, and used in the early modern British Atlantic World.It offers a new perspective on the exchange of business information in a period dominated by discussions of print, prioritising manuscript and oral forms of exchange.In doing so, it presents a more holistic account of the ways that networks of knowledge operated in early modern business, centralising the creation, circulation, and use of business information specifically by those individuals most involved in--and most affected by--its production.

Cooperative Learning in Physical Education : A research based approach
Cooperative Learning is a dynamic instructional model that can teach diverse content to students at different grade levels, with students working together in small, structured, heterogeneous groups to master subject content.It has a strong research tradition, is used frequently as a professional development tool in general education and is now emerging in physical education. This book defines Cooperative Learning in physical education and examines how to implement Cooperative Learning in a variety of educational settings.It explores Cooperative Learning in physical education from three main perspectives.The first, context of learning, provides descriptions of Cooperative Learning in different levels of education (elementary school, secondary school, and university physical education).The second, Cooperative Learning in the curriculum, offers case studies from teachers and researchers of their experiences of implementing Cooperative Learning within their own national context.The third perspective, key aspects of Cooperative Learning, examines how the different elements of the model have been foregrounded in efforts to enhance learning in physical education. As the only text to provide international perspectives, from eight different countries, of Cooperative Learning in physical education, this book is important reading for any student, researcher or teacher with an interest in physical education, sport education, sport pedagogy, curriculum development or methods for learning and teaching.

The Teaching and Learning of Social Research Methods : Developments in Pedagogical Knowledge
The importance of the teaching and learning of social research methods is increasingly recognised by research councils and policy bodies as crucial to the drive to increase capacity amongst the research community.The need for greater scholarly engagement with how research methods are taught and learnt is also driven by the realisation that epistemological and methodological developments have not been accompanied by a pedagogical literature or culture.Training initiatives need this pedagogic input if they are to realise the educational aspirations for methodologically skilled and competent researchers, able to apply, adapt and reflect on a range of high-level research methods and approaches.The contributors to this collection have fully engaged with this need to develop and share pedagogical knowledge in relation to the teaching of research methods.Together they span qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods, a range of disciplinary and national contexts, and face-to-face and blended teaching and learning.Through detailed examples, the collection addresses how best teaching practices develop in response to distinctive challenges that will resonate with readers; in so doing it will inspire and inform their own development.This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Social Research Methodology.
