Content-Based Second Language Instruction: What is it? Origins and Definitions • Although it is most often associated with the genesis of language immersion education in Canada in 1965‚ content-based instruction is hardly a new phenomenon. We know that "until the rise of nationalism‚ few languages other than those of the great empires‚ religions‚ and civilizations were considered competent or worthy to carry the content of a formal curriculum" (Swain & Johnson‚ 1997‚ p. 1). • CBI is ".

“Set up as a top-secret biological and chemical weapons facility during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War Two‚ Unit 731 has been referred to as the Asian Auschwitz. Through the practice of lethal human experimentation‚ the unit is thought to have been responsible for the death of up to 200‚000 civilians and military personnel – the vast majority Chinese and Korean nationals‚ but also South East Asians‚ Pacific Islanders and Allied POWs. In the sprawling six kilometer-square complex in the

GCSE - Human Physiology and Health An experiment to investigate what affect sucrose solution has on potato tissue. Background Osmosis is the movement of water molecules‚ across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high concentration of water to a low concentration of water molecules. A partially permeable membrane is a membrane with holes in it small enough for only water to go through it. Big molecules like glucose cannot fit through it. Osmosis allows plants to take in water

DATA BASE SYSTEM Introduction Data is a virtual organizational resource which is an important input in an information system. This data resource is traditionally called the data base. It is from this data base that data is processed and converted into information to satisfy information needs of the organization. Nowadays we find that the internal and external information resources available to organizations are increasing at a rapid rate‚ due to which data bases are becoming larger and

impactful waves of immigration to the United States occurred as a result of the Irish Potato Famine. The famine occurred due to failure of Ireland’s potato crop in 1945 through 1949 (Mokyr 1). Although the famine lasted four years‚ its effects can still be seen in the United States. The influx of Irish immigrants served as the backbone of the industrializing United States and forever changed the nation. Despite the Irish Potato Famine’s impact on the United States‚ it could have been avoided if other nations

Outline the roles of membrane at the surface of the cell The plasma membrane encloses the cell‚ defines it boundaries and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extra-cellular environment. The separation of the internal and external environment maintains a constant internal environment which is essential for the cell to function efficiently. Membrane receptors can interact with specific molecules corresponding to stimuli such as hormones to generate a signal cascade which

Report Hypothesis: I predict that as the surface area of the canopy increases‚ the time it takes for the parachute to fall also increases. This is because the air resistance is larger‚ therefore the drag is increased. So the speed of the parachute decreases. This is because the forces (air resistance and gravity) are unbalanced. The change in air resistance is important because the larger the surface area of the canopy‚ the more air particles it is ‘hitting’; therefore the

DEN 302 Applied Aerodynamics SURFACE PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS ON AN AEROFOIL IN TRANSONIC FLOW Abstract The objective of this exercise is to measure the pressure distribution across the surface on an aerofoil in a wind tunnel. The aerofoil is tested under several different Mach numbers from subsonic to supercritical. The purpose of measuring the pressure distributions is to assess the validity of the Prandtl-Glauert law and to discuss the changing chracteristics of the flow as the Mach number increases
