 ''We are all becoming teacher/theorists'': Collaborative inquiry into the intellectual, relational, and political work of learning to teach.


”We are all becoming teacher/theorists”: Collaborative inquiry into the intellectual, relational, and political work of learning to teach.


$49.99


This study is the result of my work as a teacher educator in an English methods course and a member of an inquiry community I formed with eight of my students, all middle and secondary student English teachers at the University of Pennsylvania. I investigate what was at stake for them in learning to teach English in Philadelphia urban schools in the midst of an aggressive reform agenda, including attempts to improve instruction and student performance through the production and dissemination of mandated curricula calibrated to benchmark exams (Useem, 2005). Through this work, I examine my students’ individual and collaborative inquiries into issues of practice (Cochran-Smith & Lytle, 2009), their interrogation of ideas and discourses of urban teaching, and their construction of their own conceptual frameworks and understandings.;This research contributes to the fields of English education, urban teacher education, practitioner research, and literacy, by critically examining deficit-based instruction models in schools and prevailing understandings of student teachers as ‘novices’; both of these notions inadequately account for the rich array of intellectual and experiential resources that students and teachers bring into urban classrooms. I explore alternative conceptions, analyzing student teachers’ use of sociocultural perspectives on literacy as frameworks for thinking differently about English as a content area and their students’ literacy practices. Through their joint inquiries, this community of student teachers constructed counter-narratives about the promise and potential of urban students, cultivated relational approaches to teaching them, and created emic concepts to address feelings of disequilibrium, conflict, and uncertainty in the classroom. In this research, I regard student teachers’ locations as rich sites for constructing expertise from material experience and mutual inquiry. I argue that learning to teach through collaborative inquiry is a

 A Content-Based Instruction Curriculum By Needs Analysis


A Content-Based Instruction Curriculum By Needs Analysis


$64


“What is the most effective way of teaching a language?” There have been debates and research studies on this question throughout the history of language teaching. Through that time,new approaches and methods have been tried and applied as alternatives to the previous ones. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the rise and fall of a number of approaches and methods in language teaching gave the period the name “The Methods Era” and also led to the development of the Communicative Approach. Communicative approaches in language teaching were gradually accepted, in opposition to the ones focusing on structural aspects of language rather than the functional aspects. Among these approaches, Content-Based Instruction (CBI), focusing on the process and outcomes of learning rather than the method, gained importance in the 1990s and got its place in ELT. However, a cooperation between the language teachers and the content area teachers is required if CBI is to be succesful in purposeful program. This book provides Academic English needs of English medium departments from the content area teachers’ point of view for the CBI curriculum being applied in a university program.

 Academic Writing


Academic Writing


$149


Writing is crucial to the academic world. It is the main mode of communication among scientists and scholars and also a means for students for obtaining their degrees. The papers in this volume highlight the intercultural, generic and textual complexities of academic writing. Comparisons are made between various traditions of academic writing in different cultures and contexts and the studies combine linguistic analyses with analyses of the social settings in which academic writing takes place and is acquired. The common denominator for the papers is writing in English and attention is given to native-English writers’ and non-native writers’ problems in different disciplines. The articles in the book introduce a variety of methodological approaches for analyses and search for better teaching methods and ways of improving the syllabi of writing curricula. The book as a whole illustrates how linguists strive for new research methods and practical applications in applied linguistics.

Analysis I: Convergence, Elementary functions


$69.95


Functions in R and C, including the theory of Fourier series, Fourier integrals and part of that of holomorphic functions, form the focal topic of these two volumes. Based on a course given by the author to large audiences at Paris VII University for many years, the exposition proceeds somewhat nonlinearly, blending rigorous mathematics skilfully with didactical and historical considerations. It sets out to illustrate the variety of possible approaches to the main results, in order to initiate the reader to methods, the underlying reasoning, and fundamental ideas. It is suitable for both teaching and self-study. In his familiar, personal style, the author emphasizes ideas over calculations and, avoiding the condensed style frequently found in textbooks, explains these ideas without parsimony of words. The French edition in four volumes, published from 1998, has met with resounding success: the first two volumes are now available in English.

 Beliefs and experiences of Korean pre-service and in-service English teachers about English vocabulary acquisition strategies.


Beliefs and experiences of Korean pre-service and in-service English teachers about English vocabulary acquisition strategies.


$49.99


This study investigates how four current non-native in-service English teachers in Korea and four pre-service non-native English teachers from Korea currently studying in the United States address their own English vocabulary learning and also elicits their opinions about strategies for English vocabulary learning and teaching. This study employs a mixed methods approach. Quantitative data come from two questionnaires regarding the participants' beliefs about and strategies for vocabulary learning. The qualitative component consists of four semi-structured interviews with the participants and data from journal entries the participants kept for over a month. The findings show that there is not much difference in attitude toward and use of English vocabulary acquisition and teaching approaches between the non-native in-service and pre-service EFL teachers. Both in-service and pre-service teachers think conscious vocabulary learning is more efficient for Korean EFL learners because they have to acquire a certain amount of English vocabulary to support further acquisition and that consciously studied vocabulary items should be put to use. All participants showed a high frequency of vocabulary strategy use, including skipping, guessing, dictionary use, note-taking, and memorization. The dictionary is considered the most useful resource by all participants. Because their English proficiency levels are high enough, they alternate between different types of dictionaries: from monolingual to bilingual dictionaries and from paper dictionaries, to electronic dictionaries and on-line dictionaries. The participants disagree about the use of translation and bilingual dictionaries. The pre-service EFL teachers emphasize as much English use as possible to compensate for the deficient English input in Korea. They thus disagree with the use of translation and English-Korean bilingual dictionaries, whereas the in-service EFL teachers think providing translated definitions of
