Book Synopsis Metaphor in Educational Discourse by : Lynne Cameron
Download or read book Metaphor in Educational Discourse written by Lynne Cameron and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2003-03-13 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Metaphor in Educational Discourse is a superb piece of applied linguistics research that integrates Vygotsky's theory of concepts with current work on metaphor into a coherent framework for investigating how teachers and learners negotiate figurative language in order to promote development in the classroom setting. In what is likely to become the standard for future studies in this area, Lynne Cameron meticulously demonstrates the central role of linguistic metaphors in classroom learning - designed to lead learners to a deeper understanding of complex mathematical and scientific concepts.' James P. Lantolf, Professor of Applied Linguistics, The Pennsylvania State University. This book reports research into metaphor in use with school students. The setting for the research is a UK school and the participants are around ten years old, with their first language well established but still developing concepts and understandings. Close examination of a corpus of classroom spoken discourse reveals how metaphor is employed by their teachers, not just in explaining ideas, but, in managing and mediating the activity of the classroom and the learning of the students. Particular issues discussed include: the problems of identifying metaphors in spoken discourse, the conventionalism of metaphors in the discourse of socio-cultural groups, and how a socio-cultural approach can account for systematicity in metaphor use.
Book Synopsis Elicited Metaphor Analysis in Educational Discourse by : Wan Wan
Download or read book Elicited Metaphor Analysis in Educational Discourse written by Wan Wan and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to recognise, discuss and evaluate one’s educational beliefs and working practices in metaphoric terms has for several years been seen as a highly valuable tool for increasing self-awareness, facilitating learning (or teaching), and/or predicting behaviour. This is the first edited book solely devoted to the topic of researching elicited metaphor in education, and brings together key researchers from China, Poland, Puerto Rico, South America, UK and USA. The 12 chapters involve overviews and state-of-the-art articles, articles focussing on methodology and validation, as well as reflections on the effectiveness of techniques and research reports of recent empirical studies. The bulk of the articles relate to literacy (L1 and L2) and teacher education, but science education is also addressed. The book offers useful models for academics, professionals and PhD students in these areas, and provides solutions for improving the validity of elicited metaphor techniques in educational research.
Book Synopsis Narrative and Metaphor in Education by : Michael Hanne
Download or read book Narrative and Metaphor in Education written by Michael Hanne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings rely equally on narrative (or storytelling) and metaphor (or analogy) for making sense of the world. Narrative and Metaphor in Education integrates the two perspectives of narrative and metaphor in educational theory and practice at every level from pre-school to lifelong civic education. Bringing together outstanding educational researchers, the book interweaves for the first time the rich strand of current research about how narrative may be used productively in education with more fragmentary research on the role of metaphor in education and invites readers to ‘look both ways.’ The book consists of research by 40 academics from many countries and disciplines, describing and analysing the intricate connections between narrative and metaphor as they manifest themselves in many fields of education, including: concepts of education, teacher identity and reflective practice, teaching across cultures, teaching science and history, using digital and visual media in teaching, fostering reconciliation in a postcolonial context, special needs education, civic and social education and educational policy-making. It is unique in combining study of the narrative perspective and the metaphor perspective, and in exploring such a comprehensive range of topics in education. Narrative and Metaphor in Education will be of great interest to academics and researchers in the fields of education and educational policy, as well as teacher educators, practising and future teachers. It will also appeal to psychologists, sociologists, applied linguists and communications specialists.

Download or read book Mind, Metaphor and Language Teaching written by R. Holme and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding metaphor raises key questions about the relationship between language and meaning, and between language and mind. This book explores how this understanding can impact upon the theory and practice of language teaching. After summarising the cognitive basis of metaphor and other figures of speech, it looks at how this knowledge can inform classroom practice. Finally, it sets out how we can use these insights to re-appraise language learning theory in a way that treats it as consonant with the cognitive nature of language.

Book Synopsis Teaching Grammatical Metaphor by : Devo Yilmaz Devrim
Download or read book Teaching Grammatical Metaphor written by Devo Yilmaz Devrim and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book recounts the ways in which grammatical metaphor (GM) has evolved in SFL theory, discusses the research studies that explored the development of GM in language development and language education contexts, and presents various ways of providing written feedback to English as an additional language (EAL) students drawing on the Sydney School’s genre pedagogy and Vygotsky’s notion of zone of proximal development (ZPD). As such, it is a valuable resource for linguists, educational linguists, lecturers, researchers and higher degree research students, and will be constructive for language programmers, unit/course designers, teacher educators, language teachers and pre-service teachers.
Book Synopsis Metaphors of Ed Tech by : Martin Weller
Download or read book Metaphors of Ed Tech written by Martin Weller and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The criticisms leveled at online education during the Covid-19 pandemic revealed not only a lack of understanding about how educational technology can be deployed effectively, but a lack of imagination. In this refreshing and insightful volume, Martin Weller provides new ways of thinking about educational technology through a wide range of metaphors. By using metaphors as a mental model, Weller enables educators to move beyond pragmatic concerns into more imaginative and playful uses of technology and to critically examine the appropriate implementation and adoption of ed tech.
Book Synopsis Metaphor and Gender in Business Media Discourse by : V. Koller
Download or read book Metaphor and Gender in Business Media Discourse written by V. Koller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-05-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new study reconciles cognitive metaphor theory with Critical Discourse Analysis to offer a fresh approach to the study of metaphor. In applying this framework to a substantial corpus of texts from business magazines, the author shows how metaphors of war, sports and evolutionary struggle are used to construct business as a masculinized social domain. In view of the subtle but pervasive socio-cognitive impact of these metaphors, the study raises the question of possible alternatives and the scope for change in business media discourse.

Book Synopsis Confronting Metaphor in Use by : Mara Sophia Zanotto
Download or read book Confronting Metaphor in Use written by Mara Sophia Zanotto and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is timely for researchers to approach metaphor as social and situated, as a matter of language and discourse, and not just as a matter of thought. Over the last twenty five years, scholars have come to appreciate in depth the cognitive, motivated and embodied nature of metaphor, but have tended to background the linguistic form of metaphor and have largely ignored how this connects to its role in the discourses in which our lives are constructed and lived. This book brings language and social dimensions into the picture, offering snapshots of metaphor use in real language and in real lives across the very different cultures of Europe and Brazil and contributing to the theorizing of metaphor in discourse.
