Download or read book Teaching ESL and STEM Content through CALL written by Abdelilah Salim Sehlaoui and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Learners (ELs) are left behind in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The growing need for effective critical pedagogical competence (CPC), critical technological competence (CTC), and critical cross-cultural communicative competence (C5) in teachers who serve ELs has become more evident because of the increasing numbers of ELs and the global socio-economic, and technological developments. C5, which encompasses CTC and CPC, is defined in the book as the teacher’s ability to communicate effectively across cultures with diverse individuals. An educator who possesses C5 is able to critically understand the power relations and importance of the socio-economic and political contexts in any human encounter and the ability to make connections with real life to teach STEM content successfully. The book provides teachers of ELs with a research-based framework using classroom-tested Computer-assisted Language Learning and Teaching (CALL) programs to empower themselves, through a practical reflective self-professional development component, as they help their students succeed academically in STEM. A critical pedagogical and a genre-based communicative approach is used to achieve this goal by teaching vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, listening, and speaking. These key English language skills are given special attention in the book while supporting ELs’ native literacies and STEM education. Throughout the book, the critical pedagogical approach focuses on the socio-economic context of education and makes connections between life in the classroom and real life. Research on successful STEM schools indicates that cultivating partnerships with industry, higher education, nonprofits, museums, and research centers is crucial for engaging students in STEM learning through internships, mentorships, interdisciplinary project-based learning, and early college experiences. To cultivate these partnerships and engage ELs in STEM requires educators to possess a C5. From an interdisciplinary approach, the book's argument is supported by insights gained from research in various fields of inquiry. The book offers practical detailed lesson plans, hands-on reflective inquiry activities, classroom vignettes, rubrics and research-based criteria to evaluate practice, strategies, and CALL programs and resources, that are either very inexpensive or free of charge. The main goal of the book is to develop students’ English proficiency and help ELs maintain their native literacy to succeed academically in STEM content areas.

Download or read book Futurism and the African Imagination written by Dike Okoro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how African authors and artists have explored themes of the future and technology within their works. Afrofuturism was coined in the 1990s as a means of exploring the intersection of African diaspora culture with technology, science and science fiction. However, this book argues that literature and other arts within Africa have always reflected on themes of futurism, across diverse forms of speculative writing (including science fiction), images, spirituality, myth, magical realism, the supernatural, performance and other forms of oral resources. This book reflects on themes of African futurism across a range of literary and artistic works, also investigating how problems such as racism, sexism, social injustice and postcolonialism are reflected in these narratives. Chapters cover authors, artists, movements and performers such Wole Soyinka, Ben Okri, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Elechi Amadi, Mazisi Kunene, Nnedi Okorafor, Lauren Beukes, Leslie Nneka Arimah and the New African Movement. The book also includes a range of original interviews with prominent authors and artists, including Tanure Ojaide, Lauren Beukes, Patricia Jabbeh Wesley, Benjamin Kwakye, Ntongela Masilela and Bruce Onobrakpeya. Interdisciplinary in its approach, this book will be an important resource for researchers across the fields of African literature, philosophy, culture and politics.
Download or read book Understanding Cultural Diversity in the Early Years written by Peter Baldock and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2010-03-18 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the discussion about cultural diversity beyond the usual topics of anti-racism and inclusion but without overlooking these issues, this book considers current debates around the alleged failure of multiculturalism, and encourages practitioners to utilise their own cultural backgrounds and experiences as a way of developing their teaching. With an optimistic outlook, and focusing on the advantages for learning that cultural diversity can offer, the book discusses the concepts of culture, multi-culturalism and inter-cultural competence, and describes the principles that underpin good practice. It is packed full of case studies from a variety of early years settings, with ideas to try out and interactive exercises to aid reflection. Issues covered in the book include: - addressing cultural diversity in staff meetings, and on short training courses - planning a critical audit of your setting - working with parents from a variety of cultural backgrounds - how to explain diversity to young children - the overwhelmingly white British setting - settings where white British children are in the minority - curriculum developments in different parts of the UK, post-devolution Written for all early childhood students and early years practitioners, it is relevant to anyone interested in inclusion, society and global citizenship. Peter Baldock has worked extensively in early years education as a teacher, in community development, in registration and inspection of early years services, and as an Associate Lecturer with the Open University. His publications include three books on early years services, and he is actively involved in Sheffield′s 0-19+ Partnership on behalf of the voluntary sector.
