Our proposed research agenda centers on building the resources needed for high-quality mathematics instruction. Given that the quality of instruction depends fundamentally on what teachers do with students to develop their mathematical proficiency, and given that what teachers can do depends fundamentally on their knowledge of mathematics, we recommend that the first of the three strands of res...

Per its English curriculum, vocabulary instruction is only integrated indirectly in the teaching of reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills Malaysian schools. ESL learners then may overlook variety meanings that a word spelling can offer. This research aims to describe effects explicit approach on 30 Form Two (eighth grade) students from suburban school Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. A descrip...

This work discusses theoretically the interplay between the superconducting and ferromagnetic proximity effects, in a diffusive normal metal strip in contact with a superconductor and a nonuniformly magnetized ferromagnetic insulator. The quasiparticle density of states of the normal metal shows clear qualitative signatures of triplet correlations with spin one (TCS1). When one goes away from t...

Recent  research  in  interlanguage  pragmatics  (ILP)  has  substantiated  that  some  aspects  of pragmatics are amenable to instruction in the second or foreign language classroom. However, there  are  still  controversies  over  the  most  conducive  teaching  approaches  and  the  required materials.  Therefore,  this  study  aims  to  investigate  the  relative  effectiveness  of  conscio...
