Teaching of a specific subject Books

Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1967, education had entered a period of fundamental change. The developments described in this book team-teaching, audio-visual aids, programmed learning, curriculum reform projects, and the like had tended to progress in isolation from each other, and only recently had it been realized how much they had in common. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context. Table of ContentsPreface. List of Illustrations. Acknowledgements. 1. The Teaching Revolution 2. The Changing Concept of Educability 3.

Book SynopsisDespite advancements in and availability of corpus software in language classrooms facilitating data-driven learning (DDL), the use of such methods with pre-tertiary learners remains rare. This book specifically explores the affordances of DDL for younger learners, testing its viability with teachers and students at the primary and secondary years of schooling. It features eminent and up-and-coming researchers from Europe, Asia, and Australasia who seek to address best practice in implementing DDL with younger learners, while providing a wealth of empirical findings and practical DDL activities ready for use in the pre-tertiary classroom.Divided into three parts, the volume's first section focuses on overcoming emerging challenges for DDL with younger learners, including where and how DDL can be integrated into pre-tertiary curricula, as well as potential barriers to this integration. It then considers new, cutting-edge innovations in corpora and corpus software for use with Trade Review'This book is an exciting, thoughtful and wide-ranging collection of papers from some of the leaders in the area of DDL. It is an understatement to say that it is long overdue! Amazingly, almost three decades have passed since DDL emerged as a pedagogical approach in language teaching and, in all of that time, this is the first edited volume to curate work on the use of DDL specifically in the context of young learners. While the volume is very forward-looking in the context of ever-improving technology and availability of corpus data and tools, contributors do not shy away from the challenges that have prevailed over the years to limit the mainstreaming of DDL as a pedagogical practice. Authors, exploring primary and secondary school learning contexts, showcase the potential of DDL for young learners but they consistently point to the need for more research, better teacher development and more equitable access to technology in primary and secondary schools. This book is a fanfare to what DDL has to offer in the context of language teaching in primary and secondary schools and, for sure, it will inspire teachers and researchers to open up to the opportunities of DDL for young learners.' - Dr Anne O'Keeffe, MIC, University of Limerick, Ireland'This is a very timely collection of papers that showcase recent research on pedagogical corpus use in primary and secondary school settings. The book will no doubt serve as an invaluable resource for anyone who is curious about whether and how DDL can work with younger learners, and for anyone who is ready to be inspired by some of the leading teacher-researchers in the field. Highly recommended!' - Ute Römer, Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics, Georgia State University, USA'This interesting and timely collection of studies is an essential reading for anyone conducting research on Data-Driven Learning (DDL) or considering using this approach with young learners. Together, the authors of the chapters present an in-depth review of the relevant literature on DDL, explain its strengths and weaknesses, and discuss the conceptual barriers and technical difficulties that might need to be overcome before the approach can be successfully adopted in the classroom. The book also describes some innovative uses of mainstream and custom DDL tools as well as offering many practical suggestions for designing useful DDL activities. In short, it is an extremely valuable resource.' - Laurence Anthony, Professor, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University, JapanTable of ContentsForewordAlex Boulton1.

Book SynopsisThis landmark collection of essays by Third World activists highlights two major world changes which, they argue, have been neglected by Freire and his many followers: the Third World grass-roots cultural resistance to economic globalization, and the ecological crisis.One source of the activist-authors'' criticisms of Freire''s pedagogy is rooted in their attempts to combine consciousness raising with literacy programs in such diverse cultural settings as Bolivia, Peru, India, Southern Mexico, and Cambodia, where they discovered that Freire''s pedagogy is based on western assumptions that undermine indigenous knowledge systems. Equally important, these authors make the case in various ways that a major limitation with Freire''s ideas, and which is reproduced in the writings of his followers, is that he did not recognize the cultural implications of the world''s ecological crisis.Several essays in the collection focus directly on how the cultural assumptions Freire took Trade Review"The whole book offers a timely challenge to any northern educator who assumes that their work is liberating and giving voice to the oppressed anywhere....the book is a breath of fresh air....it should appeal both to the academic and the practitioner reader, with its range of contributions from practical accounts to theoretical speculation."—The Developmental Education Journal"...this book's various contributions help to enhance Bower's call for a more central relationship to 'intergenerational knowledge and his Afterward presents a cogent summary of the many points raised in his latest books that will be useful for those who want to grasp Bower's Ecojustice platform."—TCRecordTable of ContentsContents: Preface.

Book SynopsisHelp students become more confident and successful readers, writers, and thinkers in today's world. In this new edition of a bestseller, highly acclaimed author and speaker Heidi Hayes Jacobs offers practical ideas for closing the literacy gap by teaching classic literacies (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) along with essential new literacies (digital, media, and global). The expanded second edition features Heidi's latest work on the new literacies and provides enhanced versions of strategies designed to help educators integrate critical language skills into their daily operational curriculum. These strategies include: Revising and expanding the role of all teachers so that they see themselves as classical language and contemporary literacy teachers; Separating vocabulary into three distinctive types with distinctive instructional approaches to sustain and extend independent language development; BuildingTrade Review"Lifting words and ideas off the page or screen and into the hearts and minds of students. That’s what Heidi Hayes Jacobs advocates and that’s what she shows us how to do. Students cannot be passive consumers of texts, but rather active participants in constructing knowledge and taking action based on that knowledge. That’s the new definition of literacy that can transform the learning experience for teachers and students alike." – Douglas Fisher, Professor of Educational Leadership at San Diego State University and a teacher leader at Health Sciences High & Middle College "In this second edition of Active Literacy Across the Curriculum, Heidi connects refreshed contemporary literacy strategies to contemporary teachers in every class and in every grade level. She connects teachers to digital tools to interact, connect globally, and make media. She connects ideas about different types of vocabulary, different forms of notetaking, and different types of discussion. She invites teachers to connect their work to each other by documenting their contemporary upgrades in a collaborative curriculum map. This culture of connection increases transparency and opportunities to collaborate as literate 21st century citizens. This is how we prepare our learners for the future." – From the Foreword by Mike Fisher, digigogy.com "Moving forward into the 21st century, it is vital for teachers/educators to constantly be 'upskilled' in the use of new methods of preparing learners for the future, and revising their own practices. Literacy is at the core of learning and we must familiarise ourselves with new techniques and methods of achieving best outcomes for students. As a teacher of more than 25 years in the Australian system, this book offers a fresh view to 'active literacy' and how, as teachers, we could and should be engaging students in the 21st century." – Angie Wilcock, High Hopes Educational Services, Sydney, Australia "I have had the pleasure of having heard Heidi speak twice as Massachusetts venues. Her ideas are still with me; she throws out her multiple keys on a key ring, shown on an overhead: the individual keys are the various disciplines—the ring itself insists that they "work" together –a perfect visual of writing across the curriculum. This is my guiding principle within my undergraduate Composition I courses, as well." – Claire-Marie Heart, North Shore Community College, Danvers, MA "Over the course of my career, I have read many professional books and articles. Active Literacy Across the Curriculum ranks among the best. It offers an attainable vision of the future, and includes specific direct action teachers and administrators can take now to move ahead effectively." – Theresa Wood, MiddleWeb, April 22, 2021, https://www.middleweb.com/45004/active-literacy-across-the-curriculum/ Table of Contents Forword Acknowledgments Meet the Author Introduction: Essential Strategies to Nurture the Literate Learner: Classical and Contemporary Updating Roles: Every Teacher Becomes a Contemporary Literacy Teacher Developing Three Types of Words with Classical Approaches and Digital Tools Activating Notemaking: Extraction, Reaction, and Sketchnoting Editing and Revising Classical Writing and Media Production: A Consistent Developmental Policy to Support Student Independence Face to Face in Real and Virtual Space: Speaking, Listening, and Discussion Types Tuning the Speaking/Listening Instrument: Giving Voice Lessons in Each Classroom Activating Literacy in Our Plans: Upgrading Curriculum Maps K-12 Bibliography

Because it fills a much-needed gap in the literature, this comprehensive, insightful, and unique volume will be applauded by music educators internationally." —Gary McPherson, Ormond Professor and Director, Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, the University of Melbourne, Australia "This volume is a testament to our growing understanding of technology and its role in music learning. The editors have assembled a powerful set of writings that, on the one hand provide a badly needed conceptual frame for music technology and education, and on the other provide dramatic and meaningful examples of practical usage. Voices from engineering and computer science are welcome additions.

Book SynopsisInstead of asking literature to meet the entertainment, cultural, and of course educational needs of today''s youth, Literature Activities Teens Actually Love empowers teachers to guide students in working with literature on their own terms in order to rediscover the joys it holds. Through a variety of innovative and highly engaging projects, this book will develop a new lens through which to view literature and its study, with activities that are at once highly entertaining yet encourage higher order thinking skills and strategies. Lesson plans incorporating alternatives as diverse as Facebook and quilting show how teachers and students can bridge the technology gap by finding creative solutions to traditional academic problems. By allowing students to use their technological skills to move from print to nonprint assessments, students will have the opportunity to explore the text with a greater degree of ownership over the process, resulting in autonomous learners.

Book SynopsisCriminology, or the study of crime, has developed rapidly as a subject in recent years, while crime and the problem of how to respond to it have become major concerns for society as a whole. This book provides a succinct, highly readable - and much needed - introduction to criminology for those who want to learn more, whether they are already studying the subject, thinking of doing so, or just interested to discover what criminology is about. Introducing Criminology begins by asking basic questions: what is crime? what is criminology?, before examining the ways in which crime has been studied, and looking at the main approaches and schools of thought within criminology and how these have been developed. The authors focus particularly upon attempts to understand and explain crime by the disciplines of psychology and sociology, and consider also the impact of feminist and postmodern thought on the development of the subject. In the second part of the book the authors take three very different topics to illustrate themes raised in the first half of the book, exploring the particular issues raised by each topic, and showing how criminologists have gone about their work. Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Crime, the criminal and criminology 2. Offenders and non-offenders: spot the difference? 3. A broader vision of crime 4. Thinking seriously about serial killers 5. Policing and the police: key issues in criminal justice 6. CCTV and crime prevention: questions for criminology 7. Criminology: some concluding thoughts
