Teaching Economics At The Undergraduate Level

~~212,00€~~ 190,80€ 10% OFF

 The goal of post-secondary institutions offering undergraduate courses and programs is to provide students the ability to develop a varied skill set-from writing, to communicating effectively to problem-solving and to developing analytical skills-in order to be ready for pursuing graduate programs or having the necessary tools to be successful in a diverse and increasingly complex workforce. As educators teaching economics at an undergraduate level, we are exposed to many challenges -budgetary, student retention, keeping students engaged, and enhancing students’ learning experience. The different technologies that are now available, the diverse variety of online resources that have been developed, along with the evolution of different modes of course and program delivery has enhanced the scope of teaching and learning. The different learning modes include in-person, face-to-face, online, remote, synchronous or asynchronous, or hybrid modes, such as blended learning and flipped or inverted classrooms. This book, through contributions by selected academics, offers a detailed analysis into several specific areas of course delivery, providing valuable insights for teaching and learning for students, faculty and administrators. It covers topics such as developing appropriate learning outcomes for individual students, and tools to enhance students’ motivation, engagement and performance. An in-depth analysis of various teaching pedagogies is explored, from blended learning, to flipped classrooms, to creating different learning environments, based on a Universal Design of Learning framework from student learning assessments. The book finishes with presenting valuable pedagogical insights into the design and implementation of a research seminar course tailored for advanced undergraduate students in economics. The primary goal is to provide these students with a platform to conduct community-based research and enable them to contribute to a contemporary economic issue or policy debate that is relevant to the community.

Ai In Foreign Language Learning And Teaching: Theory And Practice

by Marcel Danesi

~~125,88€~~ 113,29€ 10% OFF

 The primary objective of this book concerns how to bring foreign language learning and teaching into the ever-expanding world of AI culture, so as to make the language learning experience consistent with what students are exposed to in their daily lives. Teaching and learning foreign languages today are no longer restricted to the "walled-in classroom," where print materials, pedagogy, and face-to-face interactions have always been considered to be the central elements in bringing about successful learning outcomes. Today, the traditional classroom is on the verge of a radical transformation, triggered especially by AI systems such as chatbots. Some initial work in using deep learning AI systems, which have the ability to interact with students and teachers in tandem, is showing how classroom-teaching can be enhanced with an "algorithmic tutor." This book provides an overview of what the research says and what prospects AI bears for foreign language teaching at present and in the future. It will delineate concrete ideas that can potentially make the learning and teaching of languages relevant to the techno-savvy student, without compromising the role of the human teacher.
