Download or read book Becoming Bilingual Readers written by Bobbie Kabuto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on Bobbie Kabuto’s groundbreaking 2010 book Becoming Biliterate, this book explores how identity impacts the development of bilingual readers and how reading practices are mediated by family and community contexts. Highlighting bilingual readers from Spanish, Greek, Japanese, and English language backgrounds, Kabuto offers an in-depth, interdisciplinary analysis of these readers’ behaviors and identities through the original approach of Biographic Biliteracy Profiles. The Profiles serve as a culturally relevant assessment tool for developing meaningful narratives and can reveal how bilingual readers make sense of texts in the context of their home and school environments. An ideal approach for unpacking the complexity of bilingual reading behaviors and how they change across time, the Profiles allow readers to explore what a bilingual reader’s identity means to becoming biliterate; the roles of code-switching and translanguaging; the influences of readers’ families and communities; and how they all interact and shape readers’ identities, behaviors, and meaning-making. Offering practical applications on observing and documenting bilingual readers, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students in courses on bilingualism, L2/ESL reading, and multilingualism.

Download or read book Adhd or Dyslexia Resilient Parents Resilient Children written by Katharine Aranda Vollmer and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written with all my love to share what I, from my own experience, have had to live as a mother, teacher and Davis® facilitator. As I listen to other parents tell me about their journeys through therapies, doctors and diagnoses, I realize how much the stories and concerns coincide when one of our children begins to have learning difficulties, be it attention deficit, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, hyperactivity, or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). As parents, we want to help them, however, the fact of having educational knowledge or even being an expert in the subject does not exempt us from being completely in hands of doctors, therapists, teachers and school directors, and be subject to their guidance.
Download or read book Discourse and Mental Health written by Juan Eduardo Bonnin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of years of fieldwork at a public hospital located in an immigrant neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It focuses on the relationships between diversity and inequality in access to mental healthcare through the discourse practices, tactics and strategies deployed by patients with widely varying cultural, linguistic and social backgrounds. As an action-research process, it helped change communicative practices at the Hospital’s outpatient mental healthcare service. The book focuses on the entire process and its outcomes, arguing in favor of a critical, situated perspective on discourse analysis, theoretically and practically oriented to social change. It also proposes a different approach to doctor-patient communication, usually conducted from an ethnocentric perspective which does not take into account cultural, social and economic diversity. It reviews many topics that are somehow classical in doctor-patient communication analysis, but from a different point of view: issues such as the sequential organization of primary care encounters, diagnostic formulations, asymmetry and accommodation, etc., are now examined from a locally grounded ethnographic perspective. This change is not only theoretical but also political, as it helps understand patient practices of resistance, identity-making and solidarity in contexts of inequality.
Download or read book Metalinguistic Awareness Recomposing Cognitive Linguistic and Cultural Conflicts written by Oreste Floquet and published by Sapienza Università Editrice. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is dedicated to Maria Antonietta Pinto’s research across the past five decades. The title reflects not only the dominance of metalinguistic awareness in Pinto’s work but also the pathway through which this construct has been elaborated over the years. Under the influence of two great mentors, Jean Piaget for the cognitive aspects, and Renzo Titone for the psycholinguistic aspects, Pinto created an original construct of metalinguistic awareness and instruments to measure it at different developmental stages. The volume pays tribute, among other aspects, to the heuristic value of this construct and its use in international research.

Download or read book Vuelo hacia el amanecer written by Orestes Lorenzo and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 1991, Orestes Lorenzo, un mayor en la Fuerza Aérea Cubana, desertó su país de origine en un avión MiG y arriesgó todo lo que tenia para realizar un peligroso vuelo a los Estados Unidos buscando la libertad ideológica que ya no existía en Cuba. Pero fue en 1992, un año más tarde cuando Orestes realizó un viaje aun más peligroso. Después de 21 meses frustrantes, haciendo peticiones a las autoridades cubanas, pidiendo la libertad de su familia, Orestes se dio cuenta de una cosa: la única solución tendría que ser algo sumamente arriesgado y difícil. Habría que volver a Cuba a buscarlos él mismo. Durante todo este tiempo, su esposa Vicky sufrió el constante asedio de las autoridades cubanas, que insistieron que denunciara a su esposo como un cobarde traidor que abandonó a su familia. De lo contrario, jamás tendría permiso para salir de su país. Hasta Raúl Castro, hermano del dictador, tenía algo que decir sobre el asunto: -Si Lorenzo tuvo pantalones para irse con uno de nuestros MiGs, tal vez los tenga para venir a buscar a su familia.- Y eso fue lo que Orestes Lorenzo hizo. Volando un viejo Cessna de dos motores, cruzó las aguas del estrecho de la Florida, evitando el radar cubano. Aterrizó en una carretera bien transitada donde su esposa y sus hijos le esperaban, y les rescató. Vuelo hacia el amanecer es la historia de esta hazaña asombrosa, narrada por el mismo protagonista, Orestes Lorenzo. Es también la odisea individual de un joven que creció durante la euforia de la revolución cubana. Después de casarse y entra en un entrenamiento para pilotos en la unión soviética, Orestes nos muestra su creciente desilusionamiento con el comunismo, apoyado por su despertar a la religión gracias a las revelaciones de la Perestroika y la enfermedad grave de su esposa. Sobre todo, sus motivos tienen sus raíces en la convicción de criar a sus hijos en un país que respeta la dignidad del espíritu individual. Vuelo hacia el amanecer es una historia de heroísmo, el heroísmo de un hombre que haría lo imposible y arriesgaría su vida para obtener la libertad de su familia. Es un testamento al poder y fuerza del amor.
Download or read book Te Toca written by Mark Allinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Languages are best learned when real-world information becomes the focus of students' activities. In this respect, !Te Toca! definitely encourages advanced learners to focus on exchanging real-life information about the world around them. Moreover, since the topics and issues presented in the book are controversial in nature, they seem especially appealing to college students."" Dr Maria Jesus Amores, University of West Virginia !Te Toca! is a thoroughly innovative approach to advanced language learning. Imaginative, exciting and fun, it uses language simulations to take students into a virtual Spanish-speaking world where they adopt a new Spanish or Latin-American identity. Creating a learning environment in which they need to use Spanish to solve a problem or engage in debate, the language simulations draw and expand on students' linguistic, communication, and information-gathering skills. Covering a variety of engaging topics, the simulations literally put the students centre-stage, requiring them to think on their feet and speak exclusively in Spanish. The topics revolve around contentious issues and each chapter includes a simulation exercise with all its associated documents, as well as a lead text, comprehension questions, a guide to relevant points of functional grammar, associated exercises, a glossary of terms, and suggestions for written work.

Download or read book Emotional Agility written by Susan David and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 Wall Street Journal Best Seller USA Today Best Seller Amazon Best Book of the Year TED Talk sensation - over 3 million views! The counterintuitive approach to achieving your true potential, heralded by the Harvard Business Review as a groundbreaking idea of the year. The path to personal and professional fulfillment is rarely straight. Ask anyone who has achieved his or her biggest goals or whose relationships thrive and you’ll hear stories of many unexpected detours along the way. What separates those who master these challenges and those who get derailed? The answer is agility—emotional agility. Emotional agility is a revolutionary, science-based approach that allows us to navigate life’s twists and turns with self-acceptance, clear-sightedness, and an open mind. Renowned psychologist Susan David developed this concept after studying emotions, happiness, and achievement for more than twenty years. She found that no matter how intelligent or creative people are, or what type of personality they have, it is how they navigate their inner world—their thoughts, feelings, and self-talk—that ultimately determines how successful they will become. The way we respond to these internal experiences drives our actions, careers, relationships, happiness, health—everything that matters in our lives. As humans, we are all prone to common hooks—things like self-doubt, shame, sadness, fear, or anger—that can too easily steer us in the wrong direction. Emotionally agile people are not immune to stresses and setbacks. The key difference is that they know how to adapt, aligning their actions with their values and making small but powerful changes that lead to a lifetime of growth. Emotional agility is not about ignoring difficult emotions and thoughts; it’s about holding them loosely, facing them courageously and compassionately, and then moving past them to bring the best of yourself forward. Drawing on her deep research, decades of international consulting, and her own experience overcoming adversity after losing her father at a young age, David shows how anyone can thrive in an uncertain world by becoming more emotionally agile. To guide us, she shares four key concepts that allow us to acknowledge uncomfortable experiences while simultaneously detaching from them, thereby allowing us to embrace our core values and adjust our actions so they can move us where we truly want to go. Written with authority, wit, and empathy, Emotional Agility serves as a road map for real behavioral change—a new way of acting that will help you reach your full potential, whoever you are and whatever you face.

ARE YOU A HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON? Do you have a keen imagination and vivid dreams? Is time alone each day as essential to you as food and water? Are you noted for your empathy? Your conscientiousness? Do noise and confusion quickly overwhelm you? If your answers are yes, you may be a highly sensitive person (HSP) and Dr. Elaine Aron’s The Highly Sensitive Person is the life-changing guide you’ll want in your toolbox. Over twenty percent of people have this amazing, innate trait. Maybe you are one of them. A similar percentage is found in over 100 species, because high sensitivity is a survival strategy. It is also a way of life for HSPs. In this 25th anniversary edition of the groundbreaking classic, Dr. Elaine Aron, a research and clinical psychologist as well as an HSP herself, helps you grasp the reality of your wonderful trait, understand your past in the light of it, and make the most of it in your future. Drawing on her many years of study and face-to-face time spent with thousands of HSPs, she explains the changes you will need to make in order to lead a fuller, richer life. Along with a new Author’s Note, the latest scientific research, and a fresh discussion of anti-depressants, this edition of The Highly Sensitive Person is more essential than ever for creating the sense of self-worth and empowerment every HSP deserves and our planet needs. “Elaine Aron has not only validated and scientifically corroborated high sensitivity as a trait—she has given a level of empowerment and understanding to a large group of the planet’s population. I thank Dr. Aron every day for her having brought this awareness to the world.” —Alanis Morissette, artist, activist, teacher
