One-on-One Language Teaching and Learning: Theory and Practice (New Language Learning and Teaching Environments)
by T. Bleistein M. LewisWith only one learner, it is possible for the teacher to give serious attention to principles of second language acquisition such as motivation, error treatment, and learner autonomy, which are more difficult to address in classroom learning. This book combines theory with practical suggestions, making it invaluable for language tutors.
Lifelong Learning Participation in a Changing Policy Context: An Interdisciplinary Theory
by Ellen BoerenDrawing on the role of individuals, education and training providers and countries' social policy actions, and borrowing insights from psychology, sociology and economics, this book works towards an interdisciplinary theory of adult lifelong learning participation. It explores the fragmented evidence of why adults do or do not participate in adult lifelong learning activities and focuses on the relevance of policy, the social character and expected benefits of lifelong learning participation and discusses the potential implications for policy, practice and research.

Portuguese Sociology: A History (Sociology Transformed)
by Filipe Carreira da SilvaSociology in Portugal provides the first English-language account of the history of sociology in Portugal from 1945 to the present day. Banned by the fascist regime until 1974, the institutionalization of sociology as an academic discipline came relatively late. Understanding academic disciplines as institutionalized struggles over meaning, Filipe Carreira da Silva gives a genealogy of sociology in Portugal from its origins in the political-administrative interstices of a dictatorship, through the 'cyclopean moment' of the political revolution of April 1974, which brought about its swift institutionalization and subsequent consolidation in the new democratic regime, to the challenges posed by internationalization since the 1990s. Attempts to define Portugal itself, he demonstrates, have been at the heart of these struggles. Analyzing agents, institutions, contexts, instruments and ideas, Carreira da Silva shows in fascinating detail how the sociological understanding of Portugal evolved from that of a developing society in the 1960s, to that of a modernizing European social formation in the 1980s, to the post-colonial or post-imperial Portugal of today.
The Style and Timbre of English Speech and Literature
by Marklen E. KonurbaevThe book introduces the reader into the world of mental perception of literary contents.

Evolving Agendas in European English-Medium Higher Education: Interculturality, Multilingualism and Language Policy
by Clive W. EarlsEnglish medium-of-instruction (EMI) is transforming modern-day universities across the globe, creating increasingly complex linguistic and intercultural realities which lecturers, students and decision-makers must negotiate. Teaching subject matter at higher-education level through the medium of English, in countries where English is neither an official nor national language (e.g. the Netherlands, Germany), is a highly complex phenomenon fraught with challenges and benefits. EMI programmes are capable of transforming domestic degree programmes into platforms of intercultural teaching and learning by infusing them with greater numbers of international faculty and students. Equally however, EMI programmes pose a socio-linguistic, -cultural and -economic challenge by institutionalising English at higher-education level within a country and displacing somewhat national and minority languages. This book, the first of its kind, provides an up-to-date and empirically-informed exploration of these salient themes in Europe, based on significant empirical data gathered and analysed on the German EMI context.

How Pop Culture Shapes the Stages of a Woman's Life: From Toddlers-in-Tiaras to Cougars-on-the-Prowl
by Sarah Burcon Melissa AmesContemporary popular culture has created a slew of stereotypical roles for girls and women to (willingly or not) play throughout their lives: The Princess, the Nymphette, the Diva, the Single Girl, the Bridezilla, the Tiger Mother, the M.I.L.F, the Cougar, and more. In this book Ames and Burcon investigate the role of cultural texts in gender socialization at specific pre-scripted stages of a woman's life (from girls to the "golden girls") and how that instruction compounds over time. By studying various texts (toys, magazines, blogs, tweets, television shows, Hollywood films, novels, and self-help books) they argue that popular culture exists as a type of funhouse mirror constantly distorting the real world conditions that exist for women, magnifying the gendered expectations they face. Despite the many problematic, conflicting messages women receive throughout their lives, this book also showcases the ways such messages are resisted, allowing women to move past the blurry reality they broadcast and toward, hopefully, gender equality.
Ethnocultural Diversity and the Home-to-School Link (Research on Family-School Partnerships)
by Christine M. McWayne Fabienne Doucet Susan M. SheridanThis book explores family-school partnerships and how they can be most effectively leveraged to ensure academic success for students from socioculturally diverse backgrounds. It presents an innovative framework for building collaborative learning partnerships with culturally diverse families, for improved student achievement and more meaningful ties between schools and their communities. It promotes understanding of familial and communal knowledge and recognizing families’ resilience in addressing academic, social, and linguistic barriers. Chapters reimagine family-school partnerships within a context of shared power and authority, examine a spectrum of interventions that support culture-based modes of learning, and emphasize the potential for transformative learning to occur when students’ out-of-school lives are understood and meaningfully leveraged in school. Chapters also discuss how to foster bridges between parents and teachers, provide teachers with access to the rich cognitive and cultural resources of families, and enable all parties to begin viewing families as truly equal partners in children’s education. The book concludes with a commentary chapter that identifies necessary areas for further research.Topics featured in this volume include:The contribution of racial and ethnic socialization to family-school partnerships during early childhood.Fathers and their role in family-school partnerships.The importance of Indigenous family engagement in systems of education.Home-school partnerships and mixed-status immigrant families in the United States.Family-school partnership research with the migrant and seasonal farm working community.The role of humility in working with families across international contexts.Interventions that promote home-to-school links.Ethnocultural Diversity and the Home-to-School Link is a must-have resource for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in education, child and school psychology, educational policy and politics, family studies, developmental psychology, sociology of education, and anthropology.

Visible Learning: Feedback
by Shirley Clarke John HattieFeedback is arguably the most critical and powerful aspect of teaching and learning. Yet, there remains a paradox: why is feedback so powerful and why is it so variable? It is this paradox which Visible Learning: Feedback aims to unravel and resolve. Combining research excellence, theory and vast teaching expertise, this book covers the principles and practicalities of feedback, including: the variability of feedback, the importance of surface, deep and transfer contexts, student to teacher feedback, peer to peer feedback, the power of within lesson feedback and manageable post-lesson feedback. With numerous case-studies, examples and engaging anecdotes woven throughout, the authors also shed light on what creates an effective feedback culture and provide the teaching and learning structures which give the best possible framework for feedback. Visible Learning: Feedback brings together two internationally known educators and merges Hattie’s world-famous research expertise with Clarke’s vast experience of classroom practice and application, making this book an essential resource for teachers in any setting, phase or country.

Development Of Prototype Tactile Instructional Materials In High School Geometry For Students With Vision Loss
by Allan Rosal MesogaResearcher: Allan Rosal Mesoga Title of Thesis: Development of Prototype Tactile Instructional Materials in High School Geometry for Students with Vision Loss Degree: Master of Arts in Education Specialization: Special Education (Teaching Children with Visual Impairment) Institution: College of Graduate Studies Philippine Normal University Advisers: Julieta A. Gregorio, Ph.D. Rosemarievic Villena-Diaz, Ph.D. Key Concepts: High School Geometry, Competencies, Vision Loss, Tactile Materials The purpose of this study is to develop prototype tactile instructional materials in High School Geometry for students with vision loss. Specifically, this study aimed to Develop and Content Validate the Prototype Tactile Instructional Materials in High School Geometry for Students with Vision Loss. To accomplish this, the study sought to achieve six objectives: (1) Analyze the content of the geometry skills in the Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) from kindergarten, from elementary up to secondary school, to determine their prerequisites, sequences, and levels of difficulty, (2) Analyze literature on mathematics tactile materials in advanced countries, (3) Identify the adaptations and modifications that can be incorporated into locally constructed materials for teaching geometry skills to blind students with vision loss in secondary school, (4) Develop prototypes of tactile instructional materials for selected geometry skills in the secondary school curriculum, (5) Establish the content validity of the prototype tactile instructional materials, and (6) Revise the prototype materials as needed and prepare the final tactile instructional materials for learners with visual loss in secondary school. The research for this study was carried out in two stages. The first stage focused on data gathering as well as on the preparation and validation of prototype tactile instructional material in geometry for students with vision loss. In the second stage, the prototype tactile instructional materials were revised, and the final copy of prototype tactile material was prepared. There are two (2) groups of respondents in this study. The first group consists of two (2) mathematics professors, one (1) special education professor, and one (1) special education teacher. Thus, the first group of respondents is made up of four (4) teachers, or experts. This group established the content validity of the prototype tactile instructional material in terms of the competencies set by the Department of Education. The second group of respondents is made up of nine (9) students with vision loss. This group established the content validity of the prototype tactile instructional material in Geometry as instructional materials for students with vision loss. The first group of respondents used the five (5) criteria for evaluating the prototype tactile instructional materials as adapted from the study of Cadiente (2006).
