Sinopsis

Setting Significance explores how time and place profoundly shape narratives, arguing that setting isn't just a backdrop but an active force. The book reveals how authors use historical and geographical settings to influence character development and plot progression. Examining the socio-cultural milieu within literary works allows readers to unlock hidden layers of meaning and appreciate the intricate craftsmanship of authors.

 
The book progresses through three main sections. First, it analyzes how historical settings influence narratives by examining landmark events and dominant ideologies. Second, it concentrates on geographical settings, exploring how depictions of rural landscapes and urban environments impact plot and character motivations. Finally, it examines how authors interweave time and place to achieve specific thematic effects, such as displacement and cultural identity.

 
By drawing upon literary history and socio-cultural studies, Setting Significance provides a comprehensive framework for literary analysis. This approach challenges traditional views of setting as secondary, advocating for its central role in shaping meaning and offering valuable insights for students, critics, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of literary works.

    "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. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
    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.

    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.

    n her first poetry chapbook, the poet talks about her growth as a writer, how she was encouraged, amidst uncertainty and fear, by time spent in different landscapes and by exposure to evolution, to the wide array of events that took place in congruence with art and writing. The poems in this chapbook are interwoven with diverse themes ranging from emotions to social concerns and slivers of mythology.
