Towards Systematic and Sustained Formative Assessment of Causal Explanations in Oral InteractionsThe testing and assessment of language competence continues to be a much debated issue in foreign language teaching and research. This book is the first one to address the testing of four important dimensions of foreign language education which have been left largely unconsidered: learner autonomy, intercultural competence, literature and literary competence, and the integration of content and language learning. Each area is considered through a theoretical framework, followed by two empirical studies, raising questions of importance to all language teachers: How can one test literary competence? Can intercultural competence be measured? What about the integrated assessment of content-and-language in CLIL and teaching? Is progress in autonomous learning skill gaugeable? The book constitutes essential reading for anyone interested in the testing and assessment of seemingly largely untestable aspects of foreign language competence.New perspectives on language and education ;17.Language and languagesStudy and teachingEvaluationIntercultural communicationEvaluationMulticultural educationEvaluationCommunicative competenceEvaluationElectronic books.Language and languagesStudy and teachingEvaluation.Intercultural communicationEvaluation.Multicultural educationEvaluation.Communicative competenceEvaluation.418.0076ES 847rvkParan Amos1030010Sercu Lies1028240MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458433603321Testing the untestable in foreign language education2446707UNINA01799oam 2200457 a 450 991069782240332120160516142115.0(CKB)5470000002392762(OCoLC)288496762(EXLCZ)99547000000239276220081217d2007 ua 0engurbn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierClimate change[electronic resource] international issues, engaging developing countries : hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred Tenth Congress, first session, March 27, 2007Washington :U.S. G.P.O.,2008.v, 141 pages digital, PDF fileTitle from title screen (viewed on Dec. 17, 2008).Paper version available for sale by the Supt. of Docs., U.S. G.P.O."Serial no. 110-26."Includes bibliographical references.Climate change Climatic changesGovernment policyUnited StatesGlobal warmingGovernment policyUnited StatesEmissions tradingDeveloping countriesGreenhouse gas mitigationDeveloping countriesGreenhouse gas mitigationInternational cooperationClimatic changesGovernment policyGlobal warmingGovernment policyEmissions tradingGreenhouse gas mitigationGreenhouse gas mitigationInternational cooperation.GPOGPOGPOBOOK9910697822403321Climate change250420UNINA03243nam 22006014a 450 991077785810332120230607221936.01-281-72168-997866117216880-300-12823-110.12987/9780300128239(CKB)1000000000471903(StDuBDS)BDZ0022171425(SSID)ssj0000270780(PQKBManifestationID)11211725(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000270780(PQKBWorkID)10262274(PQKB)10715722(StDuBDS)EDZ0000165606(MiAaPQ)EBC3419912(DE-B1597)484981(OCoLC)1023999376(DE-B1597)9780300128239(Au-PeEL)EBL3419912(CaPaEBR)ebr10169938(CaONFJC)MIL172168(OCoLC)923588423(EXLCZ)99100000000047190320011026d2002 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrWhat to listen for in rock[electronic resource] a stylistic analysis /Ken StephensonNew Haven Yale University Pressc20021 online resource (1 online resource (xvii, 253 p.) )musicBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-300-09239-3 Includes discography (p. 195-196), bibliographical references (p. 197-217), and index.Phrase rhythm -- Key and mode -- Cadences -- Chord type and harmonic palette -- Harmonic succession -- Form -- Analyzing a hit.In this concise and engaging analysis of rock music, music theorist Ken Stephenson explores the features that make this internationally popular music distinct from earlier music styles. The author offers a guided tour of rock music from the 1950's to the present, emphasizing the theoretical underpinnings of the style and, for the first time, systematically focusing not on rock music's history or sociology, but on the structural aspects of the music itself. What structures normally happen in rock music? What theoretical systems or models might best explain them? The book addresses these questions and more in chapters devoted to phrase rhythm, scales, key determination, cadences, harmonic palette and succession, and form. Each chapter provides richly detailed analyses of individual rock pieces from groups including Chicago; the Beatles; Emerson, Lake, and Palmer; Kansas; and others. Stephenson shows how rock music is stylistically unique, and he demonstrates how the features that make it distinct have tended to remain constant throughout the past half-century and within most substyles. For music students at the college level and for practicing rock musicians who desire a deeper understanding of their music, this book is an essential resource.Rock musicAnalysis, appreciationRock musicAnalysis, appreciation.781.66/117Stephenson Ken1959-1571264MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777858103321What to listen for in rock3845569UNINA
