  • With a complete, approachable presentation, CRITICAL THINKING: THE ART OF ARGUMENT is an accessible yet rigorous introduction to critical thinking.

Without sacrificing accuracy or d...

  • Educational Psychology: Developing Learners

    • Authors: Jeanne Ellis Ormrod (2016)

  • In this ninth edition of Educational Psychology: Developing Learners, I’m pleased to welcome my fellow educational psychologists Eric and Lynley Anderman as coauthors. More specifically, Eric and Lynley have overhauled Chapter 11 and also brought their perspectives to Chapters 4, 5, 10, and 13. Many features that have made previous editions of the book so popular with instructors and students remain in this edition, including a conversational writing style, Experiencing Firsthand features, organizational tables and diagrams, and an ongoing emphasis on classroom applications. Yet there are also significant changes. As always, all 15 chapters have been updated to reflect recent advances in research, theory, and classroom practices.

    • Authors: Laimutis Valeika (2010)

  • Pragmatics, or, to be more exact, linguistic pragmatics, is a branch of linguistics concerned with the use of language in the situation. Many a work has been written on general and specifc problems of pragmatics since the time of C. W. Morris, the father of modern pragmatics. Te same can be said about textbooks: they seem to be in abundance. However, the textbooks available are, as a rule, designed for students whose frst language is English; no attention is paid to those whose frst language is not English. In this textbook, where relevant, an attempt is made to contrast the linguistic means of realization of the speaker’s meaning in English and Lithuanian. Such an approach, though relatively sporadic, is two-way useful: it enhances the understanding of the problems being examined ...
