Sinopsis

Origins of Names explores the captivating world of onomastics, revealing how names for people and places are far more than simple labels. The book delves into the cultural history and etymology behind naming conventions, highlighting that names serve as repositories of cultural memory.

 
Did you know that personal names often reflect cultural values and religious beliefs of a society? Or that place names can offer clues about historical migrations and geographical features? The book examines personal names and place names, tracing their evolution. It explores how language origins, cultural exchange, and historical linguistics have shaped our naming practices.

 
Origins of Names progresses from an introduction to onomastics, then examines personal names, moves to place names, and culminates in a discussion of the broader implications of onomastics. By combining rigorous research with an engaging narrative, the book makes this complex field accessible to anyone interested in history and language.

    There is not one right way to teach a child to read. 
     
     
     
    Recent media stories about education have featured the "Science of Reading," whose proponents typically present the systematic teaching of phonics as a one-size-fits-all method that guarantees reading success for all students. But as literacy scholars Patricia Paugh and Deborah MacPhee demonstrate, the decoding of words is only one of many skills that are central to an effective early literacy education. 
     
     
     
    In Learning to Be Literate, they present a four-part framework for active literacy learning that eschews oppositional arguments about different approaches, and instead situates children as meaning makers: the whole point of being literate. There is no single or simple solution that will fit every child. But by using the ALL framework to inform instruction, educators can help young learners think deeply about ideas and language at the same time as they learn to work out the sounds and symbol systems of language.

    We broke our new series on learning French down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise French.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear French decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native French speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand French. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in French at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken French, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
    Topics covered in this book: 
    1. Asking about family 
    2. Asking about relationship status 
    3. Expressing frequency 
    4. Talking about spare time activities and hobbies 
    5. Using quantifiers/determiners 
    6. Talking about preference
