English Language Teaching Material Development

The goal of language programs is to utilize language for effective communication. Due to the needs, interests, and motivations of language learners, they may show individual differences in their lan- guage learning. Materials used in language programs can be instructional, experiential, elucidative, or exploratory in that they can inform learners about the language, provide experience of the la...

1. Material Theory

This is a book about induction and inductive inference. Since these terms may mean different things to different people, it is worth fixing at the outset what is meant by them here. Traditionally, induction has had a narrow meaning. At its narrowest, it refers to “induction by simple enumeration,” the inference from “Some As are B” to “All As are B.” This is an example of what is known as “ampl...

Chapter 1 Supplemental Text Material

S-1.1 More About Planning Experiments Coleman and Montgomery (1993) present a discussion of methodology and some guide sheets useful in the pre-experimental planning phases of designing and conducting an industrial experiment. The guide sheets are particularly appropriate for complex, highpayoff or high-consequence experiments involving (possibly) many factors or other issues that need careful ...

The development of carotid stent material.

Endovascular angioplasty with stenting is a promising option for treating carotid artery stenosis. There exist a rapidly increasing number of different stent types with different materials. The bare-metal stent is the most commonly used stent with acceptable results, but it leaves us with the problems of thrombosis and restenosis. The drug-eluting stent is a breakthrough as it has the ability t...
