TESOL Electronic Village Online - 0 views

  •  
    For five weeks in January-February, participants and ESOL experts can engage in collaborative, online discussion or hands-on virtual workshops of professional and scholarly benefit. These sessions will bring together participants for a longer period of time than is permitted by the four-day convention and will allow a fuller development of ideas than is otherwise possible in convention sessions.   Sessions may be on any topic in ESL/EFL and are free and open to all interested parties.   Session leaders (moderators), who must be TESOL members, will receive hands-on training in online discussion management and the use of virtual rooms, and they may be asked to help train future session leaders.   Moderators need not have previous experience in online teaching. Co-moderation with several people is strongly recommended.   Sessions of EVO must be sponsored by an Interest Section, Forum, or other member group of TESOL.

It has only been since the 1980s that this area has attracted more interest among EFL teachers. The purpose of this article is to look at some of the issues and ways in which literature can be exploited in the classroom. There are also links to classroom activities and lessons with literature that you can download and use straight away.

Praveen - Guiding ESL Learners to Appreciate Poetry (TESL/TEFL) - 0 views

  •  
    Those familiar with the definition of literature as interpretation of life would find in 'poetry' an interpretation of life through imagination and feeling. One chief characteristic of poetry which such a view helps to perpetuate is that poetry relates to our feelings and at the same time by the exercise of imaginative power transfigures existing realities. M. H. Hudson concludes his detailed study of poetry by pointing out "In our reading of poetry we should always remember that the poet appeals directly to the poet in ourselves, and that our real enjoyment of poetry...depends upon our own keenness of imaginative apprehension and emotional response", and so he adds that the cultivation of the faculty of poetic appreciation is important.

An Ecological Approach to Life: Urie Bronfenbrenner - 0 views

  • We often don't think about people in a historical context: we should. It is from within our contexts that our selves develop.
  • Dr. Bronfenbrenner developed an Ecological Systems theory to human development. It was revolutionary at the time--and in many ways still is. He wrote about about development as something occurring within five systems
  • Micro system: This is the setting in which I live. My family, peers, school, and neighborhood all populate this system. It is within the micro system that I spend most of my life and have most of my direct interactions. It's important to know that within this theory, I am not a passive recipient of experiences in these settings. I actively am involved in creating and deciding the contours of these experiences.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Mesosystem: Refers to relations between microsystems or connections between contexts. This is the in between system. An example is the relation of family experiences to school experiences. If I don't feel safe at home for example, or my humans don't provide me with positive interactions, I'm not likely going to be successful in school. I won't have the skills from home to use and be skillful in school.
  • Exosystem involves the links between a social setting that I don't have an active role in and my immediate context. For example, I'm not directly involved in my human's marathon running. I'm influenced by it because when he's deep into training, I'm left alone more often and go on less walks. The exosystem, in this case marathon training, changes patterns of interaction with me. Involves links between a social setting in which the individual does not have an active role and the individual's immediate context.
  • Macrosystem: Describes the culture in which I live. Cultural contexts include developing and industrialized countries, socioeconomic status, poverty, and ethnicity.
  • Chronosystem: The final system involves the effect of time and transitions across a lifespan. Marriage, divorce, or the birth of a baby all are transitions in the human world that fall into the chronosystem.
  •  
    "In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help... No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings." - U. Bronfenbrenner

How Do You Cite a Tweet in an Academic Paper? - Alexis C. Madrigal - The Atlantic - 0 views

  • Begin the entry in the works-cited list with the author's real name and, in parentheses, user name, if both are known and they differ. If only the user name is known, give it alone.Next provide the entire text of the tweet in quotation marks, without changing the capitalization.

DAP Malaysia | The proposal to import Mandarin teachers from China - 0 views

  • At present, Mandarin is being offered as a subject in 600 national schools
  • the idea of importing teachers and experts in Mandarin from China is not practical as most of these teachers from China are not fluent in Malay. So how can these teachers from China communicate with the students and teach Mandarin as a 3rd language effectively?
  • Besides, since 2007, our government has spent RM12,302,720 to send 409 non-Chinese students to China to learn Mandarin. How much would it cost us to import teachers from China?
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • instead of importing teachers in Mandarin from China, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should first tap into the local talent pool. 21% of the primary school students study at SJKC. Among them, 88% are Chinese and 9% are Bumiputra. At the same time, there are around 80,000 students studying at Chinese Independent Schools. All these are the potential candidates for becoming Mandarin teachers in the future.
  • reply from Deputy Minister of Education, Datuk Mary Yap in Parliament on October 29, 289 teacher trainees have completed “Kursus Diploma Perguruan Malaysia – Kursus Dalam Cuti” (KDPM-KDC) in June while 495 teacher trainees will complete “Program Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan” (PISMP) in December. All these graduates are specifically trained to teach Mandarin as 2nd language in our national schools.
  • Our Ministry of Education should first increase the intake for teaching Mandarin as 3rd language in PISMP and KDPM-KDC, and engage with Dong Jiao Zong to attract more students from Chinese Independent Schools to enroll. This will be a more expedient and costs effective method to produce 30,000 Mandarin teachers for 10,000 national schools.
  • While we support the idea of teaching Mandarin as a 3rd language in all national schools, this should not be done in a hasty manner. A policy that has nationwide impact and huge costs implication should be discussed thoroughly and plan carefully. It should not be announced in UMNO General Assembly and then immediately be implemented a month later. We do not want to see a repeat of mistakes made by Government in PPSMI as the future of our students is at stake.

Center on International Education Benchmarking » Finland: Education For All - 0 views

  • Finland invests much time and effort to insure that all students have the supports they need to succeed in school.  This is quite clear in the instructional supports provided to large numbers of school children by special needs teachers found in schools across the country
  • In 2010, 23.3% of comprehensive school students in Finland received extra instruction from a Special Needs Education Teacher in school in the subjects in which the student needed help
  • Those students classified as having more intensive learning difficulties, including severely delayed development, severe handicaps, autism, dysphasia, and visual or hearing impairment (1.2% of the school population in 2010) were educated in a special education school.

  • Special education teachers, are important in the process of diagnosis and intervention, but it is not up to them alone to identify students. Each school has a group of staff that meets twice a month in order to assess the success of individual classrooms and potential concerns within classrooms. This group, which is comprised of the principal, the school nurse, the special education teacher, the school psychologist, a social worker and the classrooms’ teachers, determines whether problems exist, as well as how to rectify them. If students are considered to need help beyond what the school can provide, the school helps the family find professional intervention.
  • By establishing a comprehensive school for grades 1-9 with rigorous standards, improving teacher quality and making school funding based solely on student numbers, Finland has been able to almost completely eliminate what was once a huge disparity.
  • there is little disparity in performance among Finnish schools.
  • The country with the second-lowest rate of variance, Canada, still had a rate more than double that of Finland.
  • Finland has also been successful in uncoupling socioeconomic status from academic success or failure: there is only about a 6.8% variance based on students’ socioeconomic backgrounds, and a 23.2% variance based on a school’s socioeconomic background.

The decision is checked at least after the second grade and before the transition to the seventh grade. An individual plan on the arrangement of teaching is made for special support pupils. Support to learning and school attendance can be divided into general, intensified and special support. If general support is not enough, intensified support is provided. If intensified support is not enough, special support is provided. Comprehensive school pupils accepted and transferred to special education in previous years (1995-2010) are considered equal to special support pupils.
  • Comprehensive school education is general knowledge education provided for entire age cohorts. All children permanently resident in Finland must attend compulsory education. Compulsory education starts in the year of the child's seventh birthday.

Hall, J 2014 Children's Human Rights and Public Schooling in the US (abstract) - 0 views

  • In certain areas, the US may have a better track record compared to other nations. However, human rights concerns are confronted everyday by people in this country, including children.
  • against the backdrop of neoliberal expansion, serious human rights violations are taking place among children in the US. The daily struggles among groups of school children in the US are specifically considered
  •  
    Inside: "In an economony increasingly shaped by neoliberal reform, the conditions of children everywhere are deteriorating. Makret logics supported by translational bodies, networks, constituents, and policies - such as the UM, the World Bank/IMF, the WTO, and the World Economic Forum and the World Water Forum - bear out such outcomes (Goldman 2006, 2006; Goodman, 2011; Kloby, 2004). This economy helps shape policies and interaction in al spaces, including public schools in the US. When it comes to schools children are often silenced further by the gutting of school budgets, unequal funding, racial sorting/segretaion/violence, sexual harassment...targeted cuts to ESL and SE programs, and overal privatization. Given their vulnerabilities, for children to have any chance to succeed there muust be a significant shift in thinking among the public. The CRC must be debated in the US inlcuding a discussion of its problems and promise/potential. The US must ratify an improved version fo the CRC, live up to iy, and other nations must too... Public schools could be the forum where these conversations begin. Regrettably, many are unfamiliar with this convention and/or are unaware of its existence."
