Using theories of general communication, and in particular current approaches to L2 oral communication and strategies in interactional discourse, the authors construct a theoretical framework for defining, identifying and classifying learners’ problems and coping strategies when speaking English as a second or foreign language. The book offers a coherent process-oriented description of the complex and multidimensional nature and typology of oral interaction problems in EFL contexts, and it will be of interest to practitioners, teachers, researchers, students, and curriculum designers in Applied Linguistics and TESOL. Alireza Jamshidnejad is Associate Professor of English Language Studies and TESOL at the Ministry of Higher Education, Oman. He has two PhDs in English language and Education, and over twenty years of experience teaching and researching English as a Foreign Language, English for Academic Purposes, Language Testing and Applied Linguistics.EducationLinguisticsLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingGroup work in educationEducationLinguisticsLanguage EducationGroupwork and PresentationEducation.Linguistics.Language and languagesStudy and teaching.Group work in education.Education.Linguistics.Language Education.Groupwork and Presentation.428.0071Jamshidnejad AlirezaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910468237703321Speaking English as a second language1949696UNINA03306nam 22006255 450 991035030750332120200702235049.0981-13-1144-710.1007/978-981-13-1144-4(CKB)4100000007223487(MiAaPQ)EBC5615441(DE-He213)978-981-13-1144-4(PPN)232961662(EXLCZ)99410000000722348720181213d2019 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBiometrics under Biomedical Considerations /edited by Amine Nait-Ali1st ed. 2019.Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (vii, 290 pages)Series in BioEngineering,2196-8861981-13-1143-9 Introduction to Biometrics in clinical environment -- Newborn footprint identification -- Newborn Palmprint identification -- Face recognition in healthcare -- Fingerprint in healthcare -- Face Recognition and plastic surgery -- Effect of ageing on face analysis -- Face Ageing under health and behavioral conditions.-Iris Recognition by considering pathological cases -- Influence of skin disease on fingerprints -- Veins Pathologies in biometrics.This book addresses biometrics from a biomedical engineering point of view. Divided into five sections, it discusses topics including the influence of pathologies on various biometric modalities (e.g. face, iris, fingerprint), medical and security biometrics, behavioural biometrics, instrumentation, wearable technologies and imaging. The final chapters also present a number of case studies. The book is suitable for advanced graduate and postgraduate students, engineers and researchers, especially those in signal and image processing, biometrics, and biomedical engineering.Series in BioEngineering,2196-8861Biomedical engineeringBiometrySignal processingImage processingSpeech processing systemsPattern perceptionBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700XBiometricshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I22040Signal, Image and Speech Processinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24051Pattern Recognitionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I2203XBiomedical engineering.Biometry.Signal processing.Image processing.Speech processing systems.Pattern perception.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.Biometrics.Signal, Image and Speech Processing.Pattern Recognition.570.15195Nait-Ali Amineedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910350307503321Biometrics under Biomedical Considerations1981999UNINA
