Book Description
Almost certainly the content of the following specification is something already well known, therefore it may seem superfluous here, nevertheless we prefer to propose it just the same.During the length of this story, we will neglect the obvious definition regarding what is commonly considered as an “act of conscious will”.We’d rather observe that by “act of unconscious will” we mean an act performed according to the will of which the person who acts is not conscious; therefore, that act is the result of an unconscious will/pulsion.Instead, by “involuntary act” we mean an act performed without any conscious or unconscious will by the person who acts; for example, it’s the case of those acts belonging to circumstances such as unexpectedly meeting someone/something while you’re walking: that meeting does not depend on the conscious or unconscious will of the person. About all that, this is not the adequate place to deal with either supernal will or coincidence, the latter not to be interpreted as a casualness but literary as the event of “co-inciding”, as synchronicity, according to the undersigned.The dream and the acts it contains, here represent a matter on their own.You can conceptualize as you please the distinction among a nihilist, a dissident, a dissentient and a subversive: according to the power system described in this story, the latter two could be considered as interconnected, for precautionary measures.You can imagine as you please the complexions and the jobs of the characters in this story.The Author

Strategies in Learning and Using a Second Language
Author: Andrew D. Cohen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317861167
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
Strategies in Learning and Using a Second Language examines what it takes to achieve long-term success in languages beyond the first language. Distinguishing language learning from language-use strategies, Andrew D. Cohen disentangles a morass of terminology to help the reader see what language strategies are and how they can enhance performance. Particular areas of research examined in the book include: - links between the use of task-specific strategies and language performance - how multilinguals verbalise their thoughts during language learning and use strategies that learners use in test-taking contexts In this fully revised and substantially rewritten second edition, every chapter has been reworked, with material either updated or replaced. Entirely new material has also been developed based on examples of specific strategies supplied by actual learners, mostly drawn from a website featuring these strategies in the learning of Spanish grammar.Strategies in Learning and Using a Second language will be an invaluable resource for language teachers and researchers, as well as for administrators of second language programmes and for students of applied linguistics.
