  • 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.

  • In this history of American literature, I have tried to be responsive to the immense changes that have taken place over the past thirty to forty years in the study of literature in general and American literature in particular: changes that, among other things, have put the whole issue of just what is American and exactly what constitutes literature into contention. Interdisciplinary studies, gender, ethnic and popular culture studies, critical and cultural theory have all complicated and problematized our notion of what literature is. And the debates initiated by these newly developed fields of study have, very often, gathered around and found their focus in American books. I have also tried to tell a story: about the continued inventing of communities, and the sustained imagining o...

  • 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 ...

  • Materials and resources have been divided into three sections: the old, the new and the newest. The first one includes the most traditional elements in a language classroom: the blackboard, the textbook, visual aids and hand-made materials. The second comprises the over-head projector, the audio player and the video camera and video player. Finally, the latter section deals with the information and communication technologies which represent the brand-new present and the future of our profession. In general, the objective of this chapter is to prove that teachers have a wide range of materials and resources available to them. Some of them may look more “teachercentred” and some other may be more suitable for a “learner-centred” environment. However, the challenge, in every case, i...
