Title: Book: A Dictionary of Turkish Verbs
Body: From http://press.georgetown.edu/detail.html?id=9781589010574 One of the keys to learning the Turkish language is to understand the importance and function of the verb. The stem of the verb, together with various suffixes of mode, tense, person, along with a subject and/or object, may be the equivalent of an entire English sentence. A Dictionary of Turkish Verbs is an aid to both the beginning and more advanced student of the language by providing approximately 1,000 verbs in context as they appear in up-to-date colloquial Turkish phrases and sentences, or short dialogues in translation. Contrasting English and Turkish ways of expression, this multipurpose dictionary also helps the English speaker avoid the most common errors—with most verbs cross-referenced to related verbs, synonyms, or antonyms, and to the broader themes or categories of meaning to which they belong. Includes an English–Turkish index and a thesaurus section (using Roget's categories) where verbs of related meaning appear together and a short reference list of verb-forming suffixes. For a review of this dictionary, go to http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-177.html . Visit the publisher’s site at http://press.georgetown.edu/detail.html?id=9781589010574 .

Title: Call for Papers: Online Learning in Academic Exchange Quarterly
Body: From http://rapidintellect.com/AEQweb/5onlin.htm Focus: Web-based instructional delivery has resulted in an explosion of “online learning” initiatives, technological innovations in education, and creative uses of the Internet. This focus is on ways of delivering instruction through asynchronous or synchronous methods either through online courses or by “hybrid” or “blended” courses. There are shifts in course reconceptualizations, course designs, instructional pedagogy, faculty training, and course learning outcomes. For instance, what are the best methods of teaching students to evaluate what they find on the Internet? How does placing a course online change the needs of students who seek information? How are teachers using smart classrooms, bulletin boards, listservs, blogs, and wikis? All innovative suggestions for instruction and technology for online learning are welcome. If you have useful experiences to share or have new ideas regarding instruction, technology, or information-gathering on the Web, please consider submitting an article. Who May Submit: Submissions are welcome from teachers, trainers, administrators, and graduate students (who must have a letter of support from a professor) who actively use computer-based instruction in some form. Submission deadline: any time until the end of August 2006 For information on how to submit papers, go to http://rapidintellect.com/AEQweb/5onlin.htm .
