Book Synopsis Crossing Pedagogical Oceans by : Rosslyn M. Smith
Download or read book Crossing Pedagogical Oceans written by Rosslyn M. Smith and published by George Washington University, Graduate School of Education & Human Development. This book was released on 1992 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite complaints from undergraduate students concerning language and pedagogical skills of international teaching assistants (ITAs), institutions of higher education continue to appoint ITAs to teach. Legislative mandates have appeared to assess and improve language and pedagogical skills of ITAs, and the academies have likewise responded with workshops and seminars. Program models for ITA development differ in length and intensity but are usually of three types: orientation, pre-term, or concurrent. Assessment instruments used for screening ITAs include commercially produced tests, oral interviews, communicative performance tests, and teaching simulations. While research is being conducted on ITA communication effectiveness, more research is needed in the following areas: (1) classroom characteristics; (2) methods and materials facilitating ITA training and assessment; (3) personal and professional results of training on ITAs; (4) effective intercultural orientation; (5) appropriate assessment and training for international faculty members; and (6) how institutions define and identify ITAs and the impact of ITA training and assessment on institutional goals for internationalization and multiculturalism. University administrators can support these training and assessment efforts by developing clearly defined and fair policies involving ITA training and assessment and enforcing them, providing stable and adequate program funding, and supporting scholarships focusing on the issues raised by ITA assessment and training. Contains approximately 300 references and an index. (GLR).

Book Synopsis Crossing Oceans by : Noella Brada-Williams
Download or read book Crossing Oceans written by Noella Brada-Williams and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing globalization of culture, American literature has become a significant body of text for classrooms outside of the United States. Bringing together essays from a wide range of scholars in a number of countries, including China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and the United States, Crossing Oceans focuses on strategies for critically reading and teaching American literature, especially ethnic American literature, within the Asia Pacific region. This book will be an important tool for scholars and teachers from around the globe who desire fresh perspectives on American literature from a variety of national contexts. The contributors use perspectives dealing with race, feminism, cultural geography, and structures of power as lenses through which to interpret texts and engage students' critical thinking. The collection is 'crossing oceans' through the transnational perspectives of the contributors who come from and/or teach at colleges and universities in both Asia and the United States. Many of the essays reveal how narratives of and about ethnic Americans can be used to redefine and reconfigure not only American literary studies, but also constructions of Asian and American identities.
Book Synopsis English Pronunciation Teaching and Research by : Martha C. Pennington
Download or read book English Pronunciation Teaching and Research written by Martha C. Pennington and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers contemporary perspectives on English pronunciation teaching and research in the context of increasing multilingualism and English as an international language. It reviews current theory and practice in pronunciation pedagogy, language learning, language assessment, and technological developments, and presents an expanded view of pronunciation in communication, education, and employment. Its eight chapters provide a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of pronunciation and the linguistic and social functions it fulfils. Topics include pronunciation in first and second language acquisition; instructional approaches and factors impacting teachers’ curriculum decisions; methods for assessing pronunciation; the use of technology for pronunciation teaching, learning, and testing; pronunciation issues of teachers who are second-language speakers; and applications of pronunciation research and pedagogy in L1 literacy and speech therapy, forensic linguistics, and health, workplace, and political communication. The chapters also critically examine the research base supporting specific teaching approaches and identify research gaps in need of further investigation. This rigorous work will provide an invaluable resource for teachers and teacher educators; in addition to researchers in the fields of applied linguistics, phonology and communication.

Book Synopsis Language Learning, Discourse and Communication by : Weronika Szubko-Sitarek
Download or read book Language Learning, Discourse and Communication written by Weronika Szubko-Sitarek and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together papers on a wide spectrum of topics within the broad area of language acquisition, stressing the interconnections between applied and theoretical linguistics, as well as language research methodology. These contributions in honor of Professor Jan Majer have been grouped in two sections: language learning, and discourse and communication. The former discusses issues varying from aspects of first, second, and third language acquisition, individual learner differences (i.e. gender, attitudes, learning strategies), and second language research methodology to the analysis of features of learner spoken language, the role of feedback in foreign language instruction, and the position of culture in EFL textbooks. The second part of the volume offers a theoretical counterbalance to the applied nature of the first one. Here, the contributions touch upon spoken and written language analysis, language awareness, and aspects of the English language; also, selected issues of language philosophy are discussed. The wide range of topics covered in the publication, authored by specialists in their respective areas, reflects Professor Majer’s academic interests and corresponds to the complex nature of the general field the volume aims to portray.

Book Synopsis A Transdisciplinary Approach to International Teaching Assistants by : Stephen Daniel Looney
Download or read book A Transdisciplinary Approach to International Teaching Assistants written by Stephen Daniel Looney and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North American universities depend on international teaching assistants (ITAs) as a substantial part of the teaching labor force, which has led to the idea of an ‘ITA problem’, a deficiency model which is framed as a divergence between ITAs’ linguistic competence and undergraduates’ and their parents’ expectations. This outdated positioning of ITAs as deficient diminishes the invaluable role they play within the academy. This book argues instead for an approach to ITA which recognizes them as multilingual, skilled, migrant professionals who participate in and are discursively constructed through various participant frameworks, modalities and activities. The chapters in this volume offer state-of-the-art research into ITA using a variety of methods and approaches, and as such constitute a transdisciplinary perspective which argues for the importance of dialogue between research and practice.
Book Synopsis Teaching Science to Language Minority Students by : Judith W. Rosenthal
Download or read book Teaching Science to Language Minority Students written by Judith W. Rosenthal and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 1996 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the USA, the number of college students with limited English proficiency is increasing. Even after successfully completing a course of English as a second language, many face both linguistic and cultural barriers in mainstream classes. This book focuses on both the theory and practice of assisting such students, especially in the sciences. As the number of non-native English speaking students increases at colleges and universities, innovative approaches are needed to successfully educate this population and how science is taught may be crucial. Instruction in the students' native language may become increasingly important in attracting and retaining non-native English speakers in college. This book is aimed primarily at staff who teach science to LEP undergraduates, but others who should be interested include staff involved with postgraduate students and high school science teachers.

This book was released on 1995-03-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the research and literature on the improvement of college teaching through use of a model that stresses a supportive teaching culture and helps motivate individual faculty members to improve their teaching by utilizing a variety of sources of informative feedback. The sources include: colleagues and consultants, department chairs, students, and self-evaluation. The report provides: (1) an examination of the nature of instructional improvement and the challenge of motivating faculty to improve their teaching through identifying, making, and maintaining necessary changes; (2) an exploration of important factors in the creation of a supportive campus teaching culture; (3) explanations and illustrations of five sources of feedback for improving instruction (teachers themselves, students, colleagues, consultants, and department chairs); and (4) an analysis of the special needs of new and junior faculty for instructional improvement. The following characteristics of a culture supportive of teaching improvement are identified: administrator support; shared values about the importance of teaching and involvement of faculty in instructional improvement programs; an expanded view of scholarship; a requirement that effective teaching be demonstrated as part of the hiring process; faculty interaction and collaboration; a faculty development program; effective department chairs; and connection of tenure/promotion decisions to teaching evaluations. (Contains approximately 250 references.) (DB).
