School Inclusion in Lebanon: Integrating Research on Students with Giftedness and Learning Disabilities into Practice by Nidal Jouni, Anies Al-Hroub
Publication Date: 2023
This book addresses the impact of inclusion on the performance of students with and without special needs in Lebanese schools. It examines the performance of regular students to the performance of students with learning disabilities (LD) and gifted students as perceived by them to identify the population that is best served by inclusion. The book investigates three domains affecting student performance in inclusive settings: management and organization. Teaching and learning, and student support and school ethos. Also, it compares the ways in which these domains affect student performance for each population.

Cooperative Learning and World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages by Ghazi M. Ghaith; Ghada M. Awada
Publication Date: 2022
This book provides curriculum planners, materials developers, and language educators with curricular perspectives and classroom activities in order to address the needs of learners of English as a global lingua franca in an increasingly globalized and interdependent world. The authors argue that language educators would benefit from synthesizing and using research and evidence-based cooperative learning methods and structures to address the current world-readiness standards for learning languages in the five domains of Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities.
