Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2012 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1, TU Dortmund (American Studies), course: Cultural and Media Studies, language: English, abstract: The thesis for our project was the following: Using the Whiteboard (WB) in a poetry lesson in the English Foreign Language classroom can enrich the teaching and learning experience and therefore foster a positive learning climate where different learner types are addressed. We tried to create a ninety-minute seminar session, which, firstly, proves our thesis, and, secondly, motivate you to take a closer look at the opportunities that the WB offers for teachers. Thus, we chose a variety of four different sessions that featured various usages of the WB in an entertaining but academic way and should raise awareness of possible and new ways to use the WB as well as to inspire students (who will themselves be teachers one day) for the future. Hence, we tried to incorporate various forms of WB usage to show how it can transcend usual PowerPoint presentations and add more media. As far as the content of the session is concerned, we focused on poetry (creative aspects as well as analytical tasks) as poetry is a form of writing that can be produced and received in various different and individual ways due to its nature. Feelings and ideas can be expressed freely and creatively. As poems are usually in a condensed and short format, connected activities like producing, reading or interpreting them can all be done in the classroom. The individual and creative aspect motivates pupils and can support a very personal access to this format of writing. Combining poetry and WB can lead to a new poetry teaching experience. According to Fleming, pupils’ ideas about poetry will inevitably be formed by the extent and variety of their reading; in fact, as suggested earlier, confusion is likely to arise if poetry is introduced into the classroom only at infrequent intervals (40). Employing the WB offers the chance to have a greater variety of readings and understandings through different channels and input (visual, audio-visual, video). That the WB combines different media also makes it easier to discuss intermedial/intermodal forms of poetry. This is also supported by Shenton and Pagett’s research on the WB in classrooms. They conclude that WBs have “great potential for motivating and engaging pupils in sophisticated forms of multimodality” (135). Furthermore, the frequency of dealing with poetry can be raised. It is much quicker to analyse a poem, save the changes, connect to the internet and be interactive with the WB. [...]

This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating Technology in English Language Arts Teacher Education investigates the technology practices teacher candidates in the US are being introduced to, how they are using these practices in classrooms, and how technology can be effectively integrated into English teacher education programs. By drawing upon findings from extensive longitudinal studies into teacher education programs in the US, this timely volume addresses critical themes relating to the integration of technology in education, including: • Teaching with technology • Technology for collaboration • Technology for individualized learning and assessment By analyzing the experiences of teacher educators and candidates, and offering detailed analysis of the content, practices, and skills being taught to pre-service English teachers, Pasternak examines the entities that drive or inhibit the adoption of technology into the secondary English language arts (ELA) curriculum. This volume will resonate with an international audience of post-graduate scholars and researchers interested in the fields of teacher education, English language arts, and the relationship between technology and classroom practice.

Download or read book Monolingual Policy Bilingual Interaction written by Rizwan-ul Huq and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research reported here is an investigation of bilingual instruction in Bangladeshi schools. In particular, the thesis explores how schooling takes place when a second language is used as a medium of instruction to teach subject content. The study is based on a corpus of 44 hours of video recordings from real-life classroom interaction at two Bangladeshi schools in two metropolitan cities. The age range of the students is 9 to 13 years. Using multimodal conversation analysis, the thesis analyzes the participants’ practice – as it emerges through mundane classroom activities – and thereby examines participants’ language use in the presence of an existing language policy. The findings show how everyday instructional activities are accomplished in classrooms, especially the pedagogical focus on clarifying subject content and vocabulary. It further highlights that the interrelation between classroom interaction and language policy is informed by the participants’ use of embodied resources and the surrounding material ecology. The dissertation contributes to the growing literature on social interaction in bilingual classrooms and the wider field of bilingual and multilingual pedagogy. Den här avhandlingen undersöker tvåspråkig undervisning i skolor i Bangladesh, med särskilt fokus på hur ett andraspråk, engelska, används för att undervisa ämnesinnehållet. Studien är baserad på videoinspelningar av klassrumsinteraktioner i två skolor i Bangladesh belägna i två storstäder. Åldern på de deltagande eleverna är 9 till 13 år, och den totala inspelningstiden är 44 timmar. I avhandlingen analyseras deltagarnas – både lärares och elevers – pedagogiska interaktion in situ, det vill säga så som de uttrycks i de faktiska klassrumssituationerna. Med hjälp av multimodal konversationsanalys undersöks vilka strategier deltagarna använder för att utföra klassrumsarbete mot bakgrund av skolans språkpolicy om att enbart kommunicera på engelska. Resultatet visar hur den faktiska undervisningen går till i klassrummen, och särskilt det pedagogiska fokuset på att förtydliga ämnesinnehållet och utöka ordförrådet. Avhandlingen bidrar till forskningen om social interaktion i tvåspråkiga klassrum och till den växande kunskapen om två- och flerspråkig pedagogik. বর্তমান গবেষণাপত্রটির উদ্দেশ্য বাংলাদেশী ইংরেজী-ভাষী স্কুলের বিষয়ভিত্তিক শ্রেনীকক্ষে (যেমন: গণিত, বিজ্ঞান, তথ্য ও প্রযুক্তি, কৃষি ইত্যাদি) পড়াশোনার কাজে কিভাবে পাঠদানকালীন সময়ে বাংলা ও ইংরেজীকে যুগপৎ ব্যবহার করা হয় তার সবিস্তার অনুসন্ধান। বাংলাদেশে অবস্থিত দুটি স্কুলের শ্রেণীকক্ষের দৈনন্দিন শিক্ষা কার্যক্রমের ক্যামেরায় ধারণকৃত উপাত্ত (সর্বমোট ৪৪ ঘন্টার) মাল্টিমোডাল কনভারসেশন এনালিসিস বা কথোপকথন বিশ্লেষণের মাধ্যমে এই সমীক্ষা পর্যবেক্ষণ করে যে, অংশগ্রহণকারী শিক্ষক এবং শিক্ষার্থীরা উভয়ই পাঠদানকালীন সময়ে কিভাবে প্রাতিষ্ঠানিক ইংরেজী এক ভাষা নীতি ব্যবহারের নিয়ম মেনে চলে। শিক্ষার্থীদের গড় বয়স ৯ থেকে ১৩। গবেষণাটির ফলাফল নির্দেশ করে যে, আপাত বিরোধী হলেও ইংরেজী এক ভাষা নীতির পরিবর্তে বাংলা ও ইংরেজীর যুগপৎ ব্যবহার শুধুমাত্র বিষয়ভিত্তিক জ্ঞান বৃদ্ধিই করে না বরং ইংরেজী সংক্রান্ত জ্ঞান (যেমন: শব্দভান্ডার, শব্দের গভীর অর্থ উপলব্ধি ইত্যাদি) বৃদ্ধিতে সুনির্দিষ্ট ইতিবাচক ভূমিকা রাখে। গবেষণার প্রাপ্ত ফলাফল থেকে আরো দেখা যায় যে, শিক্ষক ও ছাত্রছাত্রীরা নানাবিধ ধ্বনি-উত্তর (নন-ভার্বাল), কণ্ঠ-উত্তর (নন-ভোকাল) এবং শ্রেণীকক্ষের পারিপার্শ্বিক সংস্থানকে (ম্যাটেরিয়াল ইকোলজি) শিক্ষাসংক্রান্ত কর্মকান্ডে পদ্ধতিগতভাবে ব্যবহার করে এবংপাঠদানকালীন সময়ে বাংলা ও ইংরেজীর যুগপৎ ব্যবহারে নানাবিধ ভাষাগত ও ভাষা-উত্তর সংস্থান (রিসোর্স) বিস্তৃত ভূমিকা রাখে। দ্বি-ভাষা অথবা বহু-ভাষা সংক্রান্ত গবেষণায় আগ্রহী পাঠকের জন্য সমীক্ষাটি লিখিত।

Download or read book Multimodal Literacy written by Carey Jewitt and published by New Literacies and Digital Epistemologies. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multimodal Literacy challenges dominant ideas around language, learning, and representation. Using a rich variety of examples, it shows the range of representational and communicational modes involved in learning through image, animated movement, writing, speech, gesture, or gaze. The effect of these modes on learning is explored in different sites including formal learning across the curriculum in primary, secondary, and higher education classrooms, as well as learning in the home. The notion of literacy and learning as a primary linguistic accomplishment is questioned in favor of the multimodal character of learning and literacy. By illustrating how a range of modes contributes to the shaping of knowledge and what it means to be a learner, Multimodal Literacy provides a multimodal framework and conceptual tools for a fundamental rethinking of literacy and learning.

Download or read book Creative Poetry Writing in the EFL Classroom written by Jessica Schlepphege and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English - Pedagogy, Didactics, Literature Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Education Heidelberg, language: English, abstract: "There is a poetic potential in all of us, it only needs to be wakened." Altvater 1998, 259 Would the teachers of great poets like Barret Browning, Dickinson, Shakespeare or Whitman have known what great writers were sitting in front of them? How many geniuses might be sitting in today's classrooms? If English teachers want to get a glimpse of what poetic potential their pupils might have, they should bring poetry into the classrooms and inspire their pupils to become poetic writers themselves. This paper aims at giving an overview of creative poetry writing and giving reasons why and how teachers should bring it into their classrooms. Starting with a definition of the term 'creative writing', I will begin by discussing the benefits of implementing creative writing methods followed by the benefits of introducing literature and poetry into the classroom. Those two chapters in total give the answer to the question why teachers should bring creative poetry writing into their classrooms. After giving insight into the language skills that are being supported and discussing the possible challenges a teacher might face, the question of 'how' to implement creative poetry writing into the EFL classroom is presented. The paper is completed by a brief discourse about feedback and assessment and tied together by the conclusion.

Download or read book Pedagogical Stylistics written by Michael Burke and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a global exploration of current theory and practice in the teaching of stylistics and the implementation of stylistic techniques in teaching other subjects. Pedagogical stylistics is a field that looks at employing stylistic analysis in teaching, with the aim of enabling students to better understand literature, language and also improving their language acquisition. It is also concerned with the best practice in teaching stylistics. The book discusses a broad range of interrelated topics including hypertext, English as a Foreign Language, English as a Second Language, poetry, creative writing, and metaphor. Leading experts offer focused, empirical studies on specific developments, providing in-depth examinations of both theoretical and practical teaching methods. This interdisciplinary approach covers linguistics and literature from the perspective of current pedagogical methodology, moving from general tertiary education to more specific EFL and ESL teaching. The role of stylistics in language acquisition is currently underexplored. This contemporary collection provides academics and practitioners with the most up to date trends in pedagogical stylistics and delivers analyses of a diverse range of teaching methods.
