A Practice

A Practice tells the stories of twelve school children, each working one-on-one with a tutor to resolve their learning problem.

The 'tutor', a psychologist trained at Bank Street College of Education in The Clinical Teaching Model (by Selma Sapir), describes the trials and triumphs of therapeutic tutoring.

The progression of the tutor over twenty plus years parallels the growing attention to learning disabilities in the 1980s and ’90s. New theories and teaching methods inspired the different approach this tutor took in remedial tutoring.  

Eventually she brought her approach to Horace Mann Middle School, where it became the foundation of their program for learning disabled children.

Phonological Error Patterns From A Clinical Perspective

Speech has two aspects, knowledge (phonology) and expression (articulation). During the development of phonology, children make systematic errors, targeting certain phonological element classes, called phonological error patterns which later on are modified and suppressed. These patterns may be normal or unusual, and are classified as syllable structure, substitution and assimilation error patterns. Assessment of these error patterns by either spontaneous sample speech or single word test is a golden step for determination of age-appropriate, delayed, gross-included and unusual patterns to help in diagnosis of phonological disorders which comprise the largest group of speech sound disorders. Difference between phonology and articulation; normal speech development; overview of phonological error patterns; approach to diagnosis of speech sound disorders are discussed in this book. This book is a guide for phoniatricians and speech-language pathologists for the better understanding of phonological error patterns and comprehensive diagnosis of speech sound disorders. 

Reframing Education

Reframing Education provides teachers, school leaders, and parents with concise yet reliable ideas at the core of effective teaching. As time marches on, mindsets evolve, and education must keep pace. The students of today need fresh perspectives to navigate a world we cannot yet envision. We must push with them the wheel of progress – not to replicate the past, but to allow the next generation to chart their own course with grit, compassion, and an eye toward posterity.

This book will equip teachers to evaluate their skills and experiences in order to best prepare students for uncertain futures, prioritizing resilience over perfectionism. It speaks to the heart of transformative education, exploring new frameworks to empower students while enhancing their well-being – a vital prerequisite for achievement. The insights within will appeal to school leaders and teacher training providers seeking to align learning with the evolving needs of modern students.

By reframing education, we can equip young people to pilot humanity a few feet farther.

Transmission Impact On The Arab's Language And Thought - Ancient And Modern

The language is the most important component of civilizational existence and the distinguishing feature of nations. We can not deny the danger of language in shaping the identity of a people and in strengthening the bonds of their belonging to the nation.

Language is a verbal and written used to form thoughts, and its development is dependent on the development of the mind, as it is impossible for thought to develop unless it is accompanied by a linguistic development that accommodates everything new. And the knowledge development depends on cultural communication, as no thought originated and progressed in the ranks of advancement away from translation and acculturation, whether literary, scientific or philosophical.

And since language is a human product, it interacts with its surroundings by mutual influence, and its death or life depends on the death or life of its people.

Translation is the factor that extends the bridges of knowledge between the product of a person and the peculiarities of the self, as it makes itself the first means of civilized interaction, as it was and still is, along with other means, the most prominent channel for the transfer of knowledge between nations. It is the door through which the foreigner enters the local culture, and it has a great impact on directing its thought and developing its language.

This book shows the impact of transmission and translation on the Arabic language and its thought in the past, as well as the influence of the Arabic language and thought on translation in recent times, revealing how the translation – past and present – was introduced to Arabs in new worlds of knowledge that they did not have before, and opened the doors of scientific knowledge for them, and how it moved them beyond the limits of their cognitive horizon by highlighting how the translation worked to direct the intellectual practice of the Arabs, and changing the direction of their thinking in the past and present time.

We then tried to demonstrate the impact of translation on Arabic language and how it led to the expansion of its horizon, as well as how the impact of translation on the Arabic thought system bequeathed a development a change in its words. All these details and ramifications, we have worked to simplify it and expand it in this research.

The Peaks

Peaks that were extended by the heart, a meteor of words became cups in which my soul tasted tea and coffee. As nothing remains the same, after studying the Arabic language, I have figured that nothing can be built on peaks as they are not a base, and you can only refine using the same tools. In this aesthetic work, I opened a door for interpretation using Saad bin Abdul Aziz Al-Zeer’s writing as a clarification in the footnotes.

Organizational And Administrative Games

The importance of this book lies in the fact that it is the first Arabic text which deals with administrative and organizational games, and it is the product of research and exploration, reading and translation, linking and summarizing more than one hundred and forty references between books and articles, examination, and study.

The book consists of four interconnected parts, the first of which is entitled “Know,” and includes the concept of administrative and organizational games, while the second part of the book deals with how administrative and organizational games are made; the third part lists forty-two organizational and administrative games, which is the fun part of this book.

Each game includes the time period for its implementation, the appropriate number of players, the participants, the goal of the administrative or organizational game, and then a simplified explanation of the game.

Linguistic Planning And Policies In The Baltic States: Lithuania, Latvia And Estonia

The main question of the book: What is the linguistic planning experience in the Baltic States? There are several sub-questions under this question, which includes: -What is the concept of linguistic policy and its types? -What are the most important stages of the Baltic States to design linguistic policy and build linguistic planning? -How did the Baltic States deal with their national, foreign, and minority languages? -Which government entities are implementing linguistic policies in these States? -What is the impact of linguistic planning on the lingual reality in the Baltic States? – What are the effects of these linguistic policies on the society and the minorities in the Baltic States? – What is the role of language in integration or exclusion in the Baltic society? – Why do the Baltic States need linguistic policies? – Did they plan to implement national language in all vital areas? What is the evaluation of the experiences of the Baltic States in linguistic planning? How could the experiences of the Baltic States in the planning of Arabic language and Arabization be benefited in the Arab world?

The Bilingual Revolution

Fabrice Jaumont, nicknamed “Godfather of Language Immersion Programs" by The New York Times in 2014, is an education attaché for the French Embassy in the United States, with more than 25 years of experience in international education and multilingual programs development. He received his Ph.D. in International Education from New York University (NYU). He also received a number of awards and medals such as the “Academic Palms”, which is a recognition from the French Government; the Cultural Diversity Award from the International Organization of La Francophonie at the United Nations; and the Medal of Recognition from CAFUSA. He has applied his experience and knowledge by serving the French, Italian, Japanese, German and Russian, and other communities in the United States and elsewhere by helping them develop high-quality bilingual education programs in local public schools. The Bilingual Revolution, which is a practical and easily accessible book to accompany the reader in their project, is originally a story of a movement born in Brooklyn and told through the eyes of parents and educators who created bilingual programs in their schools. All are convinced that bilingual education is a common good which should be offered everywhere because it can positively transform a child, a school and even a country. Bilingualism can become the new norm, but this will not begin without our educational systems’ full participation. This book explains how this new norm can be achieved and serves as a “how to” guide for setting up your own dual program and start your own revolution.
