Download or read book Welding Technical Communication written by Jo Mackiewicz and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welding Technical Communication explores the teaching and learning of welding through two narratives. The personal narrative relates the author’s experience as a woman learning how to weld. The academic narrative draws upon scaffolded learning theory to examine how four welding teachers’ verbal and nonverbal communication—their tutoring strategies and their gestures—facilitated students’ embodied knowledge and enculturation into a community of practice. This book fills a gap in technical communication research: we do not fully understand how teachers’ pedagogical technical communication scaffolds students’ learning within the skilled trades. Novel in its approach and coverage, Welding Technical Communication will interest researchers in technical communication and technical education.

Download or read book How Canadians Communicate V written by David Taras and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fewer Canadians than ever are lacing up skates, swimming lengths at the pool, practicing their curve ball, and experiencing the thrill of competition. However, despite a decline in active participation, Canadians spend enormous amounts of time and money on sports, as fans and followers of sporting events and sports culture. Never has media coverage of sports been more exhaustive, and never has it been more driven by commercial interests and the need to fuel consumerism, on which corporate profits depend. But the power plays now occurring in the arena of sports are by no means solely a matter of money. At issue as well in the media capture of sports are the values that inform our daily lives, the physical and emotional health of the population, and the symbols so long central to a sense of Canadian identity. Writing from a variety of perspectives, the contributors to this collection set out to explore the impact of the media on our reception of, and attitudes toward, sports—to unpack the meanings that sports have for us as citizens and consumers. Some contributors probe the function of sports as spectacle—the escalation of violence, controversies over drug use, and the media’s coverage of tragic deaths—while others shed light on the way in which the media serve to transform sports into a vehicle for the expression of identity and nationalism. The goal is not to score points but to prompt critical discussion of why sports matter in Canadian life and culture and how they contribute to the construction of identity.
Download or read book Impact of Television Advertisement on Purchases made for children written by Vashima Veerkumar and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advertisements have become a trend these days for promoting the product or any service. It plays a vital role in forming an image in mind of family members because they are the means with which the manufacturer indirectly communicates with the family and provides necessary information to them. Advertising has become so integral part of our life & society that we cannot imagine any event, newspaper, magazine, TV serial, Cinema etc. without it. The advertisements are focused on the audience which mainly may either be persuaded by them or watch and pay attention to this medium. Television is an ideal way for advertisers to reach children as it is so omnipresent in homes around the world. An average Indian child watches 14 hours of Television each week. It was a vital marketing tool to appeal to the parents earlier but now they appeal directly the children who do not have the emotional or cognitive tools to evaluate what’s being sold to them. Prior children used to play outdoor games, magazines, and comics but now most time is spent in watching television and with the increase in the trend of dual responsibilities of parents, they pay very less attention on the watching habits of their children. In addition to this the marketers use various stimulus in television commercials that includes repetition, branded characters, catchy and interesting production features, celebrity endorsements, and premiums free merchandise that accompanies a product.
