Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La dysorthographie est une pathologie très fréquemment rencontrée dans le cadre des rééducations orthophoniques, et il convient de l’évaluer le mieux possible. Mais contrairement à la dyslexie, on se rend compte que peu de tests s’intéressent à ce trouble, notamment chez les plus de quinze ans. D’où l’objet du présent travail : proposer un nouvel outil d’évaluation de l’orthographe pour les grands adolescents. Dans une première partie, nous avons étudié l’orthographe française, sa construction et ses difficultés. Nous avons ensuite abordé les différentes modalités de son enseignement, au collège notamment. Nous nous sommes également demandés si la baisse effective du niveau d’orthographe, constatée par une étude récente, peut être due à un enseignement « défectueux ». Enfin, nous avons évoqué l’usage que font les adolescents de l’orthographe, les modifications qu’ils peuvent lui faire subir, volontairement parfois. Dans une deuxième partie nous nous sommes plus directement intéressés à la pathologie de l’orthographe, ainsi qu’au déroulement de son bilan : les épreuves de langage oral et écrit concernant les adolescents sont présentées. C’est ainsi que nous avons pu mettre en évidence la pénurie de tests concernant l’orthographe des sujets scolarisés au-delà de la troisième. Pourquoi une telle limite d’âge ? L’orthographe n’évolue-t-elle plus après cet 15 ans? Seules les épreuves de Madame Borel Maisonny sont étalonnées jusqu’à l’âge adulte. Cependant, cet étalonnage, effectué par Madame Girolami Boulinier, n’a pas pu être ré-évalué comme elle le souhaitait et compte-tenu de la baisse effective du niveau d’orthographe, on peut se demander si ce test rend bien compte de la réalité orthographique d’aujourd’hui. C’est pourquoi nous souhaitons vous proposer par ce travail un nouvel outil d’évaluation pour les adolescents de 15 ans et plus. Il s’agit d’une épreuve de langage écrit imposé qui se présente sous la forme classique d’une dictée. Cette dictée répond à plusieurs critères. Il s’agit d’une dictée qui comprend toutes les compétences grammaticales qui sont censées être acquises au niveau de la classe de troisième. De plus, elle comprend la quasi-totalité des phonèmes consonantiques et vocaliques (simples et complexes). Outre l’analyse quantitative des résultats, l’orthophoniste peut ainsi procéder à une analyse qualitative des erreurs. L’atout majeur de cette dictée est qu’elle se compose d’un texte, et non de phrases, afin d’en faciliter la compréhension, et par là même un meilleur accès à la syntaxe et à l’orthographe. De plus, ce texte s’adresse directement à l’adolescent, à propos d’un thème d’actualité : il s’agit d’un témoignage fictif sur le réchauffement climatique que nous avons rédigé. Ainsi, en demandant une réponse au texte proposé, on peut facilement obtenir une production de langage écrit suggéré, utile au sein du bilan. Nous pourrions ainsi apprécier le langage écrit du patient dans ses deux dimensions principales (le langage imposé et le langage suggéré) et comparer les deux niveaux de pratique. Pour valider cet outil, la dictée a été proposée à 110 élèves témoins scolarisés de la troisième à la terminale. A partir des corpus, nous avons réalisé un travail statistique pour obtenir des normes par classe. L’étude des résultats révèle un nombre très important d’erreurs pour une grande majorité des élèves. Ces résultats sont inquiétants et l’on peut s’interroger à la fois sur la qualité de compréhension du système de la langue française par ces adolescents et sur celle de l’enseignement de la grammaire et de l’orthographe. Le sex-ratio classique n’est pas présent : on ne relève aucune différence significative entre les filles et les garçons. En revanche, on trouve une diminution du nombre d’erreurs entre la classe de troisième et celle de terminale générale, et les classes professionnelles ont un niveau d’orthographe bien plus faible. Nous avons bien sûr proposé cette dictée à des adolescents dysorthographiques suivis en orthophonie depuis plus ou moins longtemps. La comparaison de leurs résultats avec ceux obtenus par la population témoin a permis de constater que les adolescents dysorthographiques se situent bien au-dessus de la limite de pathologie (moyenne + 2 écarts types), et que ceux en fin de rééducation se situent désormais dans les normes. Ces comparaisons statistiques permettent alors de conclure de manière favorable : cette dictée constitue un pré-test significatif pour diagnostiquer, confirmer ou infirmer la dysorthographie. Enfin, il semble important de souligner qu’il serait fort intéressant que cette étude soit poursuivie de façon à réaliser des statistiques à plus grande échelle, afin qu’un jour, peut-être, ce test puisse être utilisé par les orthophonistes dans leur clinique quotidienne.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La dysorthographie est une pathologie très fréquente et les orthophonistes sont souvent sollicités pour l’évaluer et tenter d’y remédier chez les adolescents de 15 ans. Mais les tests sont très rares. Dans un précédent mémoire en 2008, un test d’orthographe en langage imposé pour les grands adolescents a été créé sous la forme d’une lettre dictée. Pour compléter ce test, nous avons demandé à des adolescents de classe de seconde et de première de filières générale et professionnelle de se prêter à un travail d’écriture afin qu’ils expriment leurs idées sur un thème. Nous avons ainsi évalué leur orthographe en langage écrit suggéré et l’avons comparé à leur orthographe en langage écrit imposé. Notre hypothèse était de savoir quelles différences pouvaient exister entre l’orthographe en langage suggéré et l’orthographe en langage imposé afin de répondre à notre problématique de création d’une nouvelle épreuve de langage suggéré. A l’issue de notre travail, nous pouvons confirmer qu’il existe bien une différence entre l’orthographe en langage imposé et celle en langage suggéré et cela se traduit par un nombre d’erreurs inférieur en langage suggéré qu’en langage imposé. Les résultats de notre étude, nous ont permis également de remarquer que le nombre total d’erreurs d’orthographe a augmenté entre 2008 et 2011 et que le nombre d’erreurs dans les classes générales représente quasiment la moitié de celui relevé dans les classes professionnelles. Afin que ces épreuves de langage imposé et langage suggéré constituent un moyen d’évaluation par les orthophonistes pour les adolescents de 15 ans et plus, la validation statistique à grande échelle reste à faire.

Concluding discussions provide guidance for the application of light therapy and discuss future roles for optimized lighting environments. Nuanced and market-demanded, Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders: An Evidence-Based Guide for Clinicians and Investigators is an invaluable resource for Sleep Medicine clinicians, circadian researchers, and other interested parties.

Download or read book Neuropsychology of Childhood Epilepsy written by Isabelle Jambaqué and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the neuropsychological description of childhood epilepsy, a neurolo- cal condition that constitutes one of the most prevalent forms of chronic and disabling childhood illnesses. Indeed, one child out of 20 experiences one or more seizures before the age of 5, and one in a hundred develops epilepsy as a chronic disorder. Approximately half of these children with epilepsy display academic difficulties and/or behavioral disorders. Moreoever, it is now believed that a sizable proportion of children with learning disability suffer from undiagnosed epilepsy. While a great number of textbooks have been devoted to various medical aspects of chi- hood epilepsy (diagnosis, genetics, etiology, drug and surgical treatment, etc.), there have been no comprehensive accounts of the cognitive consequences of this condition. Advance of medical knowledge has shown that childhood epilepsy should not be considered as a single disorder but encompasses a whole range of different conditions that exhibit specific clinical EEG and outcome characteristics. It is not becoming apparent that these various clinical entities have different cognitive expression that yet need to be specified. The purpose of this book is to provide a complete up-to-date analysis of this multi-faceted pathology.

Download or read book Evaluating Second Language Education written by J. Charles Alderson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-02-27 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Counter Responsibility for planning language teaching programs now carries with it a strong element of accountability. Evaluation of the whole process of course design, development, and implementation is therefore a necessary area of activity for course designers, language planners, and researchers. This book brings together accounts of recent work in this increasingly important field and will be a valuable resource both for those already engaged in evaluation and for those in training. Part One presents a review of the literature, covering past developments in the wider field of educational evaluation, as well as specifically in second language education. Part Two contains a series of eight original case-studies, written by scholars involved in evaluations in widely divergent settings. The focus in each case is on how the evaluator addresses the difficulties central to each study, and the findings are also included. The final Part Three provides practical guidance for evaluators, offering suggestions about how to set up and carry out evaluations in any given setting."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Input and Interaction in Language Acquisition written by Clare Gallaway and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-04-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language addressed to children, or 'Baby Talk', became the subject of research interest thirty years ago. Since then, the linguistic environment of infants and toddlers has been widely studied. Input and Interaction in Language Acquisition is an up-to-date statement of the facts and controversies surrounding 'Baby Talk', its nature and likely effects. With contributions from leading linguists and psychologists, it explores language acquisition in different cultures and family contexts, in typical and atypical learners, and in second and foreign language learners. It is designed as a sequel to the now famous Talking to Children, edited by Catherine Snow and Charles Ferguson, and Professor Snow here provides an introduction, comparing issues of importance in the field today with the previous concerns of researchers.

Download or read book Callosal Agenesis written by Maryse Lassone and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the description of agenesis of the corpus callosum, a congenital malformation of midline structures in the brain that may be regarded as a natural model of the "split-brain. " First reported by Rei! in 1812, this anomaly has since been described by several investigators. Interest in this malformation was revived in the 1970s by studies of interhemispheric transfer in Bogen and Vogel's commissurotomized patients and the subsequent findings by Sperry that acallosal patients were devoid of the typical disconnection deficits found in patients with surgical transection of the corpus callosum. Since this seminal work, the bulk of neuropsychological research on callosal agenesis has focused on the particulars of interhemispheric transfer and integration. An ever-growing literature has emerged on the subject, attempting to specify the extent and limits of neural plasticity in a nervous system that has evolved in the absence of the most important interhemispheric pathway. Whilst callosal agenesis proves to be an excellent model of cerebral plasticity, it has to be pointed out that this anomaly is often associated with other malformations and neurological diseases that may result in different degrees of mental retardation or other cognitive and sensorimotor deficits. In this context, neurological research on callosal agenesis has concentrated on the description of various syndromes associated with this pathology as well as on the attempt to specify its neurobehavioral manifestations.

Download or read book Chinese Rhetoric and Writing written by Andy Kirkpatrick and published by Parlor Press LLC. This book was released on 2012-03-07 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andy Kirkpatrick and and Zhichang Xu offer a response to the argument that Chinese students’ academic writing in English is influenced by “culturally nuanced rhetorical baggage that is uniquely Chinese and hard to eradicate.” Noting that this argument draws from “an essentially monolingual and Anglo-centric view of writing,” they point out that the rapid growth in the use of English worldwide calls for “a radical reassessment of what English is in today’s world.” The result is a book that provides teachers of writing, and in particular those involved in the teaching of English academic writing to Chinese students, an introduction to key stages in the development of Chinese rhetoric, a wide-ranging field with a history of several thousand years. Understanding this important rhetorical tradition provides a strong foundation for assessing and responding to the writing of this growing group of students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enhancing Digital Literacy and Creativity is an exploration of how young children gain digital literacies in ‘makerspaces.’ The international authors investigate how hands-on experimentation with a variety of materials - from traditional arts and crafts to contemporary digital tools like 3D printers and laser cutters - can aid children in their development of play, creativity and storytelling. From museums to libraries, nursery schools to community centres, this research shows how ‘making’ supports the development of creative skills and introduces concepts to be explored in a variety of environments and contexts. Drawing on examples from around the globe, described by a range of international academics, Enhancing Digital Literacy and Creativity includes chapters on: Virtual reality Museum and library makerspaces Intergenerational making in families Making in schools and nursery settings Assessing learning in makerspaces Links to previous theories Social imagination This book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of education and digital literacies; early childhood teacher educators and practitioners; librarians; museum educators; and makerspace staff.

Download or read book Relational Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Supervision written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Relational Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Supervision, guest expert supervisor, Dr. Joan E. Sarnat, demonstrates and discusses this approach to supervision. The goal of relational psychodynamic supervision is to create a more experiential, participatory, and relationship-focused form of supervision, one that not only provides usable psychotherapeutic knowledge and skills, but also facilitates the emotional and relational development that is essential to becoming an effective psychodynamic psychotherapist. In this video, Sarnat and her supervisee engage in a supervisory session, and host Dr. Hanna Levenson interviews them about their work together, exploring the constructs of this model and the nature of the supervisory relationship. In the session, Dr. Sarnat's supervisee conveys that she is frustrated by how her patient is discounting her during the termination phase of therapy. By becoming aware of and working with her own feelings of frustration within the session, Dr. Sarnat demonstrates the art of using a reenactment to help the supervisee deepen her awareness and thereby facilitate the therapy."--

Download or read book Acquired Aphasia in Children written by Isabel Pavão Martins and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1991-07-31 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most fascinating problems in Behavioural Neurology is the question of the cerebral organization for language during childhood. Acquired aphasia in children, albeit rare, is a unique circumstance in which to study the relations between language and the brain during cerebral maturation. Its study further contributes to our understanding of the recovery processes and brain plasticity during childhood. But while there is a great amount of information and experimental work on brain-behaviour relationships in adult subjects, the literature about the effects of focal brain lesions in children is both exiguous and scattered throughout scientific journals and books. We felt it was time to organize a meeting where scientists in this field could compare their experiences and discuss ideas coming from different areas of research. A workshop on Acquired Aphasia in Children was held in Sintra, Portugal, on September 13-15, 1990, and attended by 44 participants from 13 differents countries. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal and the group was kept small to achieve this effect. It was a very lively and pleasant meeting. Some consensus was indeed arrived at concerning methodological problems, definition of terms, and guidelines for future research. The main contributions are collected in this book which, we hope, will serve the scientific community as a reference work on Childhood Aphasia. I,P.M., AC.C.
