	Active Learning
		Active learning is a form of learning that directly engages the student in his or her learning process.
		Active learning involves the application of knowledge during class activities, which provides students with opportunities to practice with newly learned material, but this is also a time consuming process.
		Active learning is one strategy that can lead to effective learning for students and is therefore worthwhile for teachers to consider.

	Pro-drop language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Among major languages, a clearcut case of a pro-drop language is Japanese (featuring pronoun deletion not only for subjects, but for practically all grammatical contexts).
		Romance languages such as Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Romanian are also pro-drop (though they only allow deletion of the subject pronoun).
		Pro-drop languages deal naturally with these, whereas many non-pro-drop languages such as English and French have to fill in the syntactic gap by inserting a dummy pronoun.

	International Association of Conference Interpreters - Official Website
		A language into which the interpreter works from one or more of her/his other languages and which, although not a mother tongue, is a language of which s/he has perfect command.
		An active language which is not the interpreter’s mother tongue can only be acquired after years of hard work and frequent stays in a country of that language.
		Usually, however, the second active language reaches a satisfactory standard only after many years of practice and is more suited to interpretation of technical discussions where lexical accuracy is more important than style or very discrete shades of meaning.

	s a e s \| Active Language Holidays (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Language lessons during your holidays are diverse and not comparable to lessons at school: Small groups, young, keen teachers, projects and more.
		Active Language Holidays combine, in a well-balanced and convergent way, a diverse range of leisure time arrangements with value-added teaching that is intensive and listens to the study objectives and needs of individuals.
		Earlier, while having worked as a language teacher, she realised that in the race for field knowledge and good grades, many students were increasingly missing the feeling of community and interpersonality that used to make school such a special time.

		A language awareness program may concentrate on a cognitive parameter, in which the focus is on the patterns of language, an affective parameter, in which the focus is on attitudes about language, or a social parameter, in which the focus is on the role of language in effective communication and interaction.
		Language awareness programs are criticized for assuming that they can equalize social inequities and the impact of cultural capital, since seeking to teach mainstream linguistic practices without properly critiquing them effectively legitimizes the valuing of prestige language varieties.
		Language awareness approaches can help ESL students in their acquisition of a range of appropriate varieties and registers of English by training students to look for and recognize patterns in different language varieties.

	ASA 147th Meeting Lay Language Papers -Active Noise Control
		Active noise control, the suppression of an undesired sound by the action of another sound, has had a long and not entirely painless development arc over the past 70 years.
		The basic elements of an active noise control system include one or more microphones to sense the noise over some location of interest and a means to produce an appropriately tailored sound field that acts as a "control field." The control field is usually created through the action of a control system connected to loudspeakers.
		In any case, the hard fact of it is that active noise control systems have not been able to make a significant impact on the noise to which we're all exposed on a daily basis, perhaps to the detriment of us all.

	Active and Passive Voice
		In an active voice, the subject is active, thus in 'The dog chased the cat', the dog is doing the chasing.
		Active voice seeks clarity, whilst the passive voice seeks to hide and avoid responsibility.
		Active phrasing is usually easier to understand as it is simpler in construction.

	Active metaphor
		An active metaphor is one which is relatively new and hence is not necessarily apparent to all listeners, although if the metaphor is well-selected, it will be easy enough to understand.
		To ensure the active metaphor is understood, further contextual information may be used to hint at its meaning.
		Active metaphors are often used in poetry and eloquent speech to stimulate the reader or listener.

	Active Networks - A Survey
		Active Networks, unlike the traditional networks are not just passive carrier of bits but instead provides the capability for the user to inject customized programs into the networks.
		In contrast to that active networks not only allows the network nodes to perform computations on the data but also allow their users to inject customized programs into the nodes of the network, that may modify, store or redirect the user data flowing through the network.
		Active Networks Group (a group comprising of prominent researchers in the field of active networking) in a memo (RFC) outlines a possible mechanism for encapsulation of active network frames [ Alexander RFC].

		Finally, the language has two sets of verbal markers distinguishing verbs that are generally agentive vs. patientive.
		In this paper I wish to rectify the status of Tlapanec as an active-stative (or ‘agentive,’ etc.) language by arguing that it has morphosyntactic features that may be concomitants of the active-stative type.
		Klimov (1977) suggests that absence of a canonical passive is a correlate of active-stative languages, and this is also characteristic of Tlapanec.

	Active Schema Language
		Active Schema is an Active Tags module, and ruled by the relevant concepts described in the Active Tags specifications.
		Moreover, the Active Schema technology provides a set of tags used to define custom data types ; an Active Schema data type may be an inherited type, a composite type, or even an hybrid type ; a typed data may be static or resolved at runtime ; semantic types and polymorphic types are also supported.
		Active Schema has been designed with the intention to keep XML document classes as is, without structure adjustment on the pretext that a content model can't be expressed with the schema technology choosen.

	OWL at Purdue University: Printable Handouts:Active and Passive Voice
		Sentences in active voice are also more concise than those in passive voice because fewer words are required to express action in active voice than in passive.
		If you want to change a passive-voice sentence to active voice, find the agent in a "by the..." phrase, or consider carefully who or what is performing the action expressed in the verb.
		While active voice helps to create clear and direct sentences, sometimes writers find that using an indirect expression is rhetorically effective in a given situation, so they choose passive voice.

	A History of Plain Language in the US Government
		Clinton issued a Presidential Memorandum that formalized the requirement for federal employees to write in plain language, requiring all new regulations to be written clearly by January 1, 1999.
		Vice President Gore believed that plain language promotes trust in government, and said, “Plain Language is a civil right.” As the lead for the plain language initiative, he presented No Gobbledygook awards monthly to federal employees who took bureaucratic messages and turned them into plain language that citizens can understand.
		The current administration does not have a formal plain language initiative, however a mandate for communicating clearly with the public is part of the Strategic Plan in a number of federal departments and agencies.

		Active Scripting is a technology created by Microsoft to help developers take advantage of existing scripting languages and benefit from their use through a COM interface.
		The language began as a replacement for the awk macro language, which did not have the power to perform necessary text manipulation.
		You should choose an Active Scripting language based on the language best suited to the task you need to perform and, of course, the language you are most comfortable with.

		Because the researchers could not suppress one language or the other, they set up a test where both languages would be active, and then either the first or second language would be spoken.
		The subjects did not initially know which language they would be asked to use to identify the picture, so words in both languages would naturally be active.
		The results of these studies indicate that while a second language may not intrude when a bilingual person is speaking their native language, when speaking a second language, the first language is always active and cannot be suppressed.

		Research in this project was focussed on developing a formal framework for the analysis of active rule functionality and techniques for the optimisation and efficient evaluation of active rules in the context of a deductive object-oriented database.
		A number of different aspects of active behaviour, referred to as dimensions, were identified and used to summarise and categorise the behaviour of a range of active rule systems and applications.
		The event language provides a range of event composition and filtering mechanisms that are influenced by, but that selectively extend, the capabilities of other event algebras.

	The Linguist on Language-ESL, learning English, learning languages
		After five years of development and working with language learners around the world, we are now launching a new enhanced language learning tool, one which takes into consideration the most recent research on how we learn languages, and one which can be used to learn or improve in any language.
		Every language I have learned either uses prepositions or other auxiliary words before a noun or verb (English, Chinese), or postpositions (Japanese), or a variety of add-ons to words (Korean) or changes in the forms of words (Russian, German, French etc.) or combinations of these, to convey direction, possession, desire, tense, conditionality etc..
		Many language text books, and language systems to be found on the web, offer a long list of "learning tasks" devised by teachers and authors to help the learner.

		Similarly, the art of teaching a language is also different, and language teachers need to adopt creative ways to infuse the culture behind the language into the language teaching itself.
		Merely teaching language structural rules and vocabulary is inadequate as students need to be encouraged to utilize their listening and speaking skills in that language.
		Based on the language learning hypotheses above, one of the areas that teachers have to base their teachings on is to provide input that is understandable to the students.

	Yurok Language Project
		The Yurok language is spoken in northwestern California, as it has been spoken for centuries, along the Klamath River from Wechpus (Weitchpec) to Rek'woy (Requa) and south along the Pacific coast to Churey (Trinidad).
		Neighboring languages include Tolowa (north along the coast), Wiyot (south along the coast), Chilula (in the hills south of the Klamath), Hupa (along the Trinity River, which meets the Klamath at Wechpus), and Karok (upriver along the Klamath; "Yurok" itself is a Karok word for "downriver").
		At the time of white contact in the nineteenth century, the Yurok language had several thousand speakers; today there are about a dozen fluent native speakers, all elderly, and an active language revitalization program.
