Sommario/riassunto

With more and more nonprofit employees responsible for the creation and management of the annual budget, it's clear that budgets must be well designed and easy to implement in order to accommodate the trend toward decentralizing decision-making powers in nonprofit organizations. Continuous budgeting, as explained in Not-for-Profit Budgeting and Financial Management, Fourth Edition offers a system that is not only easy to use and monitor, but also ensures true fiscal accountability in the complex nonprofit arena.--Provided by publisher.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume brings together studies dealing with second language learning in contexts that provide intensive exposure to the target language. In doing so, it highlights the role of intensive exposure as a critical distinctive characteristic in the comparison of learning processes and outcomes from different learning contexts: naturalistic and foreign language instruction, stay abroad and at home, and extensive and intensive instruction programmes. The different chapters represent a wide range of learning contexts and types of learning, as well as different approaches that yield much needed evidence on the role of context of acquisition in second language learning.
