Download or read book Calibrating Standards based Assessment Tasks for English as a First Foreign Language Standard setting Procedures in Germany written by Claudia Harsch and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2010 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the second in a multi-part technical report series describing the development, calibration and validation of standards-based tests for English as a first foreign language at the Institute for Educational Progress (Institut zur Qualitätsentwicklung im Bildungswesen, IQB) in Berlin, Germany. It details the empirical basis of the calibration of the test item pool and criterion-referenced standard-setting procedures. The aim is to make transparent the decisions, methods and procedures which led to the setting of cut-scores in alignment with the National Educational Standards (NES) (i.e., the Länderübergreifende Bildungsstandards) and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF) for English as a first foreign language. Standards were set for the lower secondary school level of Hauptschulabschluss and Mittlerer Bildungsabschluss. This second report describes the process of relating the standards-based proficiency tests to the CEF levels, delineating the purpose of the tests, the aims of the standard-setting procedures, the rationale of the chosen procedures, and the use of the Manual for Linking Language Examinations to the CEF. This is followed by a detailed description of the two standard-setting methods employed, the Bookmark method and the computer-assisted Criterion Mapping method—developed and implemented by the Berkeley Evaluation and Assessment Research (BEAR) Center, University of California. This volume provides information on how the standard-setting sessions were conducted in collaboration with BEAR Center, and describes procedures, data gathering, and issues and problems which arose during the course of the study. The report concludes with a synthesis of the standard-setting study’s results, and discusses the implications of how these results are reported and presented to stakeholders and policy makers.

Download or read book Measuring Literacy written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-01-13 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) is a household survey conducted periodically by the Department of Education that evaluates the literacy skills of a sample of adults in the United Stages ages 16 and older. NAAL results are used to characterize adults' literacy skills and to inform policy and programmatic decisions. The Committee on Performance Levels for Adult Literacy was convened at the Department's request for assistance in determining a means for booking assessment results that would be useful and understandable for NAAL'S many varied audiences. Through a process detailed in the book, the committee determined that five performance level categories should be used to characterize adults' literacy skills: nonliterate in English, below basic literacy, basic literacy, intermediate literacy, and advanced literacy. This book documents the process the committee used to determine these performance categories, estimates the percentages of adults whose literacy skills fall into each category, recommends ways to communicate about adults' literacy skills based on NAAL, and makes suggestions for ways to improve future assessments of adult literacy.

Download or read book Rodney Graham written by Shepherd Steiner and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the complex and subtle world on display in Rodney Graham's film of an LSD-inflected bicycle ride. Rodney Graham's Phonokinetoscope (2001) is a five-minute 16mm film loop in which the artist is seen riding his Fischer Original bicycle through Berlin's Tiergarten while taking LSD, to the soundtrack of a fifteen-minute song (written and performed by Graham) recorded on a vinyl LP. The turntable drives the projection of the film; the film starts when the needle is placed on the record and stops when the needle is taken off. Graham's ride evokes the Swiss scientist Albert Hoffman's famous 1943 bicycle ride home after an experimental dose of LSD as well as Paul Newman's backward-facing ride in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid; the accompanying music presents a thicket of riffs and borrowings. As the images and visual details repeat in the film's endless loop, the artist's Phonokinetoscope refers to a surprising number of works of art and literature, displaying a world rich with subtle meaning. In this illustrated study of Phonokinetoscope, Shep Steiner describes the work as marking Graham's transition into a new medium. Steiner positions Graham's practice in relation to postminimalist practice and that of other artists including Dan Graham, but especially, Ian Wallace and Jeff Wall; considers Graham's rhetoric of playfulness; and finally, beyond the web of references, argues for a notion of allegory and memory theater keyed to the durational work yet satisfying the aesthetic standards of static art. Phonokinetoscope, Steiner argues, looks back to Graham's earlier works focusing on the notion of protocinema and forward to his later musical preoccupations.

Download or read book Social Media Marketing written by Lisa Lubasch and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: The consumers buying decision is determined by information on the Internet. Whether the consumers are searching for the cheapest electricity deliverer, hoping to buy a new camera, or curious if a hotel is as good as the advertisement promises-they look it up on the Internet. Although it is only 10 percent of a company s marketing budget that is allocated for marketing on the Internet, the value of supplier websites, comments by other users, product comparison sites and online marketing for the consumers has become more than twice as important as the medium television. Recently, marketing on social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter or Youtube has become especially important for companies. They begin to realize that there is no other medium which is able to reach as many people in as little time and that, if applied successfully, marketing costs can be kept to the lowest. According to a study of GfK, the percentage of companies using social media as a marketing tool has risen from 16 percent in 2008 to 56,7 percent in 2009. This study deals with the term social media marketing and its different forms and impacts. As an introduction to the topic, it discusses the development of marketing from the ancient world until today. Subsequently, an entrance to the world of online marketing and its common forms will be presented. Furthermore, the study discusses the development of social media as a consequence of web 2.0 and highlights the benefits and risks of social media marketing. As Facebook is the social network with the presently greatest influence, it is used as an example for social network marketing. Finally, the study highlights the strategies of social media marketing by utilising precise and visual explanations of the basic instruments.

Chapters follow on great date ideas, including destination museums and unusual "dinner-and-a-movie/theater" combinations. For readers ready to commit, the authors detail the best proposal spots; where to go ring shopping; the coolest places to register for gifts; and information about the legal requirements for marrying in the city (gay and straight), including a rundown on the classic City Hall wedding—with the best places to buy flowers and to celebrate afterwards, naturally. There are also ideas for planning honeymoons and anniversaries. Throughout, sidebars offer romantic options such as wonderful bars with fireplaces, the prettiest park benches, great New York literary and film affairs to inspire your visit, and romantic day trips within and near the five boroughs. From champagne on the Peninsula rooftop in midtown to ice skating in Bryant Park, In Love in New York is the perfect gift for any couple dreaming of experiencing the romance of New York.
