The book is based in theory, yet incorporates case study examples throughout each chapter. The conceptual framework is grounded in complexity and evaluative thinking, and incorporates a three-tiered approach on themes ranging from 'hybrid learning' through to 'leadership' and 'sustainability'. The style of the work seeks to engage stakeholders through its focus on utility and program improvement, and result in pragmatic, evidence-based results that foster quality teaching, learning, and administration. Despite being situated in a multibillion dollar global industry, few language professionals evaluate their language programs and foster improvement. This book is addressed to current language professionals and researchers, and aims to fill this gap in current knowledge and practice. Paul Gruba is an Honorary (Fellow) in the School of Languages and Linguistics at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Originally trained as a journalist in Alaska, he started his career in language teaching as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali from 1983-1985, before moving to Japan and working with businesses to improve English proficiency. He has devoted much of his career to the nexus of new media and assessment. His last three books have concerned 'blended' or 'hybrid' language learning environments with a strong focus on elements that influence their success. Over his career, Paul has delivered keynote addresses, supervised over two dozen PhD students, and earned a global reputation as an innovator in applied linguistics. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEducation$xCurricula 606 $aEducational tests and measurements 606 $aApplied linguistics 606 $aLanguage Teaching and Learning 606 $aLanguage Education 606 $aCurriculum Studies 606 $aAssessment and Testing 606 $aApplied Linguistics 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aEducation$xCurricula. 615 0$aEducational tests and measurements. 615 0$aApplied linguistics. 615 14$aLanguage Teaching and Learning. 615 24$aLanguage Education. 615 24$aCurriculum Studies. 615 24$aAssessment and Testing. 615 24$aApplied Linguistics. 676 $a418.0071 700 $aGruba$b Paul$0763322 702 $aFrost$b Kellie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910896530703321 996 $aDesigns for Language Program Evaluation$94211976 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03719nam 22007935 450 001 9910634045803321 005 20251113202841.0 010 $a9783031207167 010 $a3031207165 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-20716-7 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7156574 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7156574 035 $a(CKB)25657537000041 035 $a(PPN)268670773 035 $a(OCoLC)1363108992 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-20716-7 035 $a(EXLCZ)9925657537000041 100 $a20221209d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAdvances in Visual Computing $e17th International Symposium, ISVC 2022, San Diego, CA, USA, October 3?5, 2022, Proceedings, Part II /$fedited by George Bebis, Bo Li, Angela Yao, Yang Liu, Ye Duan, Manfred Lau, Rajiv Khadka, Ana Crisan, Remco Chang 205 $a1st ed. 2022. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Springer,$d2022. 215 $a1 online resource (466 pages) 225 1 $aLecture Notes in Computer Science,$x1611-3349 ;$v13599 311 08$aPrint version: Bebis, George Advances in Visual Computing Cham : Springer,c2023 9783031207150 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aST: Neuro-inspired Artificial Intelligence -- Applications -- Segmentation and Tracking -- Virtual Reality -- Poster. 330 $aThis two-volume set of LNCS 13598 and 13599 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Symposium on Visual Computing, ISVC 2022, which was held in October 2022.
