Maintaining that there is nothing simple about urban education, this work approaches the study of schooling in cities as a complex universe of the poorest students and schools alongside the wealthiest. Maintaining that urban teaching and learning is... Read More about Universities, regional policy and the knowledge economy.

Collocations and word-combinations in English: Considerations, classifications, and pedagogic implications (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Considerations, classifications, and pedagogic implications. Presented at TESOL Arabia, United Arab Emirates

Language is a means of communication among people, and language fluency is influenced by how this language is acquired. The speed of articulation is affected not only by one's ability of retention but also by the amount of prefabricated chunks stored...
