Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book presents an in-depth study of assessment innovation and its impact on teaching and learning. The context is New Zealand, and the focus is additional languages other than English and the recent introduction of a radical new assessment of students' spoken proficiency, called interact. The book crosses the traditional theoretical and methodological boundaries associated with language testing research, which focuses on assessment performance, and presents an alternative approach where stakeholders become the centre of interest. It advances our understanding of how assessment innovation impacts on two key groups - teachers and students in schools - based on data collected from a substantial two-year research project. It presents an account of these stakeholders' perceptions of the validity and usefulness of the new assessment in comparison with the more traditional test that it has replaced.Assessing Foreign Language Students' Spoken Proficiency makes an outstanding and original contribution to the field of second and foreign language teaching, providing a theory and research-based account of the development of a learner-centred approach to oral proficiency assessment. It is an important resource for teachers and teacher educators as well as assessment and curriculum specialists worldwide. It deserves to be widely read. 248 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Dass derzeit zu wenig Wohnungen gebaut werden, dass das Angebot - trotz anziehender Baugenehmigungen - nicht die Nachfrage deckt, dass die Mieten in manchen Städten - nach 10 ruhigen Jahren - anziehen und dass Haushalte mit geringem Einkommen - vor allem beim Wohnungswechsel - die Leidtragenden sind, darüber sind sich Politiker, Mietervereine und Wohnungsexperten einig: Hinsichtlich der Diagnose, was die Ursachen der Schieflage sind, gibt es Dissens und hinsichtlich der wohnungspolitischen Optionen, wie die Mieten im sozialpolitisch verträglichen Rahmen gehalten werden können, darüber gehen die Meinungen weit auseinander. Mit Änderungen des Mietrechts allein ist es nicht getan. Es fehlt an Konzepten, um den Wohnungsmarkt zu stabilisieren. Während der Bestand 'alter' Sozialbauwohnungen von Jahr zu Jahr schrumpft, werden kaum noch neue Sozialwohnungen fertig gestellt. Sie 'rechnen' sich nicht. Projektiert werden Miet- und Eigentumswohnungen für Gutverdienende. Gleichzeitig zieht der deutsche Immobilienmarkt international vagabundierendes Kapital an. 336 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As technologists, we are constantly exploring and pushing the limits of our own disciplines, and we accept the notion that the efficiencies of new technologies are advancing at a very rapid rate. However, we rarely have time to contemplate the broader impact of these technologies as they impact and amplify adjacent technology disciplines.This book therefore focuses on the potential impact of those technologies, but it is not intended as a technical manuscript. In this book, we consider our progress and current position %toward on arbitrary popular concepts of future scenarios rather than the typical measurements of cycles per second or milliwatts. We compare our current human cultural situation to other past historic events as we anticipate the future social impact of rapidly accelerating technologies.We also rely on measurements based on specific events highlighting the breadth of the impact of accelerating semiconductor technologies rather than the specific rate of advance of any particular semiconductor technology.These measurements certainly lack the mathematic precision and repeatability to which technologists are accustomed, but the material that we are dealing with-the social objectives and future political structures of humanity-does not permit a high degree of mathematic accuracy.Our conclusion draws from the concept of Singularity. It seems certain that at the rate at which our technologies are advancing, we will exceed the ability of our post-Industrial Revolution structures to absorb these new challenges, and we cannot accurately anticipate what those future social structures will resemble. 112 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -An era of big data demands datacenters, which house the computing infrastructure that translates raw data into valuable information. This book defines datacenters broadly, as large distributed systems that perform parallel computation for diverse users. These systems exist in multiple forms-private and public-and are built at multiple scales. Datacenter design and management is multifaceted, requiring the simultaneous pursuit of multiple objectives. Performance, efficiency, and fairness are first-order design and management objectives, which can each be viewed from several perspectives. This book surveys datacenter research from a computer architect's perspective, addressing challenges in applications, design, management, server simulation, and system simulation. This perspective complements the rich bodies of work in datacenters as a warehouse-scale system, which study the implications for infrastructure that encloses computing equipment, and in datacenters as distributed systems, which employ abstract details in processor and memory subsystems. This book is written for first- or second-year graduate students in computer architecture and may be helpful for those in computer systems. The goal of this book is to prepare computer architects for datacenter-oriented research by describing prevalent perspectives and the state-of-the-art. 124 pp. Englisch.…
