Abraham Maslow
I would like to suggest a variation on Maslow’s theory that might help. If we take the idea of actualization as Goldstein and Rogers use it, i.e. as the «life force» that drives all creatures, we can also acknowledge that there are various things that interfere with the full effectiveness of that life force. If we are deprived of our basic physical needs, if we are living under threatening…

Acquaintance with geometry as one of the main goals of teaching mathematics to preschool children
Constance Kamii (Kamii and DeClark, 1985), a Piagetian researcher, has spent many years studying the mathematical learning of young children.

Adjective
As for the set-forming prefix a-, it hardly deserves a se-rious consideration as a formal basis of the part-of-speech identification of statives simply because formal features cannot be taken in isolation from functional features. More-over, as is known, there are words of property not distinguished by this prefix, which display essential functional character-istics inherent in the stative set…

Their variety is supposed to be enough to make any described object lavishly clear. Therefore, any more adjectives of quality in one single sentence generally lead to ambiguity or distortion of the image. That’s greatly enough like this. The…

Affixation in modern english
An affix should not be confused with a combining form. A combining form is also a bound form but it can be distinguished from an affix historically by the fact that it is always borrowed from another language, namely, from Latin or Greek, in which it existed as a free form, i.e. a separate word, or also as a combining form. Thus, the combining form cyclo — and its variant cycl — are derived from…

Use fun methods to teach pronunciation. One such method is by using a stick (or some kind of pointer) to point at each word. When you point, the students should repeat the word. If you don’t point, there should be complete silence. There will always be a student or two who will still say the word after you have pointed three or four times and suddenly stop.

It is also used…
