Write a 6 pages paper on accelerated learning approach in teaching language. The accelerated learning techniques include “relaxation and concentration techniques (such as those originally part of Suggestopedia)” that “can greatly alleviate stress and fatigue and improve student’s confidence, concentration and memorization capabilities” (Bancroft, 1995).

Bancroft identified the techniques that are found to be effective. relaxation and visualization exercises, TPR strategies, choral chanting and role-playing for regular language classes and listening to relaxation tapes, specially prepared vocabulary tape for home study. All these exercises involve preliminary training such as “physical and mental exercises, breathing exercises, outer and inner concentration (or visualization) exercises, the Sophrology memory training system and an adaptation of the original session in Suggestopedia” (Bancroft, 1995).

The author believes that it is the student’s concentration which is in dire need of attention. With this realization, the yogic memory training elements should be incorporated into the language class whenever possible. This will be most effective is done together with elements of communication-based or language-acquisition approaches.

Baenan, Yaman and Lindblad conducted the study, “The Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) 2000-01: Student Participation and Effectiveness” to study the outcome of Accelerated Learning Approach in the teaching of reading and Math in Wake County Public School. The program was separately administered to grades 3-8 to K-12. For grades 3-8, the program was administered so that “95% of the WCPSS students will score at or above grade level” in reading and Mathematics (Nancy Baenan, 2002). On the other hand, “the high school program was designed to support students at risk of not meeting graduation requirements” (Nancy Baenan, 2002).

Write 6 pages with APA style on The Relationship between Rationality of Investors and Market Efficiency. In an efficient market, significant information is freely accessible to all participants. Researchers argue that with the current availability and utilization of complicated modeling in capital markets and with substantiality superior revelation and analysis, superior approximations of returns may be made by expert investors (Keim &amp. Ziemba, 2000, p. 255). These computations of returns approximations are possible where there are efficient market mechanisms. Therefore, there is a positive relationship between market efficiency and rationality of investors. (Jones, 2009, p. 329).

The Efficient Market Hypothesis

&nbsp.In 1900, Louis Bachelier developed hypotheses of investment payoffs. Keim &amp. Ziemba The Efficient Market Hypothesis is one of these theories of investment payoffs. The Efficient Market Hypothesis hypothesizes that, at any given time, equity prices fully replicate all accessible information. The propositions of the efficient marketplace hypothesis are profound (Fama, 1995, p. 4). Most traders who sell and buy equities do these under the postulation that the equities they are selling are worth below the selling price while equities they are purchasing are worth in excess of the price that they are disbursing. However, if there is an efficient market and current prices fully replicate all information, then selling and purchasing in an endeavor to outperform the marketplace will efficiently be a game possibility rather than expertise (Jones, 2009, p. 329).
