Book Description
Dramatic shifts in our communication landscape have made it crucial for language teaching to go beyond print literacy and encompass the digital literacies which are increasingly central to learners' personal, social, educational and professional lives. By situating these digital literacies within a clear theoretical framework, this book provides educators and students alike with not just the background for a deeper understanding of these key 21st-century skills, but also the rationale for integrating these skills into classroom practice. This is the first methodology book to address not just why but also how to teach digital literacies in the English language classroom. This book provides: A theoretical framework through which to categorise and prioritise digital literacies Practical classroom activities to help learners and teachers develop digital literacies in tandem with key language skills A thorough analysis of the pedagogical implications of developing digital literacies in teaching practice A consideration of exactly how to integrate digital literacies into the English language syllabus Suggestions for teachers on how to continue their own professional development through PLNs (Personal Learning Networks), and how to access teacher development opportunities online This book is ideal for English language teachers and learners of all age groups and levels, academics and students researching digital literacies, and anyone looking to expand their understanding of digital literacies within a teaching framework.

Author: Kenneth S. Goodman
Publisher: Rdr Books
ISBN: 9781571431196
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
This updated edition second edition, with a timely new afterword by author Ken Goodman unravels a riddle that has long troubled parents, teachers and scholars: learning language sometimes seems ridiculously easy and sometimes impossibly hard. Embraced by teachers worldwide, whole language has sparked renewed interest in well written trade books instead of boring and unnatural textbooks that actually diminish interest in reading. A new generation of authors writing for children and young adults has responded enthusiastically to increasing demand for books that are relevant to our time. This 20th anniversary edition responds to renewed interest in whole language among parents, teachers, and administrators looking for more learner friendly alternatives to the hostile test and text book mandates of the federal No Child Left Behind act. Teachers and parents will find many ideas in this book for helping children make sense of print and build a life-long love of reading.

Del enfoque comunicativo y la integración de la literatura en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras

Book Description
Ensayo del año 2011 en eltema Romanística - Didáctica, Nota: 10, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (Escuela Universitaria de Formación del Profesorado - Campus de Lugo), Materia: Máster Universitario en Profesorado de Educación Secundaria Obrigatolia y Bachillerato, Formación Profesional y Enseñanza de Lenguas, Idioma: Español, Resumen: A lo largo de la historia se han aplicado enfoques varios a la enseñanza de lengua extranjera. En el enfoque tradicional basado en la gramática fue el método abanderado de la mayoría de las escuelas desde que se institucionalizó la educación siguiendo los mismos procedimientos que para el estudio del latín, epicentro de la educación y alegada fuente de desarrollo intelectual. Siendo así las cosas, el florecimiento de las ciencias sociales como la lingüística, l psicología o la pedagogía y una necesidad mayor por aprender lenguas extranjeras de forma eficaz propiciada por el desarrollo económico e industrial y los elevados niveles de dependencia en la esfera política, favorecieron la aparición nuevas tendencias como respuesta crítica al método tradicional basado en la gramática. Estas nuevas aproximaciones ganaron cada vez más terreno en los currículos existentes y se fueron configurando diferentes enfoques, el siguiente más definido y preciso que el anterior. Las tendencias actuales, no obstante, apuntan hacia un enfoque comunicativo, que se ve favorecido por la mayor parte de los académicos y docentes y por las instituciones a nivel transnacional. Teniendo esto en cuenta, es necesario reflexionar sobre los fundamentos de este enfoque comunicativo para ser capaz de implementarlo con eficacia, llevando a los estudiantes al éxito en el proceso de aprendizaje/adquisición de lenguas extranjeras. Con este marco teórico tras nosotros, cuando se nos plantea la inclusión de la literatura en un curso de lengua, materna o extranjera, muchos idearíamos concepciones de la escuela más rancia y vetusta con el propósito de imbuir al alumnado de todo el marco epistemológico necesario para la esquematización mental de un sistema literario dado, sin percatarnos de que nuestros alumnos y alumnas, en particular, en las educaciones obligatoria y postobligatoria no universitaria, no devendrán filólogos a la vieja usanza. Ergo su interés, motivación y necesidad educativos tomen unos derroteros bien distintos. Sin embargo, no es bizarro toparnos con docentes cuyo empecinamiento va encaminado en esta dirección provocando, salvo contadas excepciones, una desmotivación patente. En vistas de lo anterior, este estudio se propone reflexionar sobre el enfoque comunicativo y la pertinencia de la inclusión de la literatura como recurso didáctico y, en definitiva, de su valor educativo en el aula de LE en conjunción con el mentado enfoque.

Book Description
This collection of original papers presents current research on linguistic aspects of the Spanish used in the United States. The authors examine such topics as language maintenance and language shift, language choice, the bilingual's discourse patterns, varieties of Spanish used in the United States, and oral proficiency testing of bilingual speakers. In view of the fact that Hispanics constitute the largest linguistic minority in the United States, the pioneering work in the area of sociolinguistic issues in the U.S. Spanish presented here is of great importance.

Dimensions of Learning Teacher's Manual, 2nd ed.
Author: Robert J. Marzano
Publisher: ASCD
ISBN: 1416613447
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
The premise of Dimensions of Learning an instructional framework founded on the best of what researchers and theorists know about learning is that five types, or dimensions, of thinking are essential to successful learning. These are (1) positive attitudes and perceptions about learning, (2) thinking involved in acquiring and integrating knowledge, (3) thinking involved in extending and refining knowledge, (4) thinking involved in using knowledge meaningfully, and (5) productive habits of mind. Dimensions of Learning is a valuable tool for reorganizing curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The authors discuss each of the five dimensions in detail and describe hundreds of teaching strategies that support them for example, how to help students construct meaning for declarative knowledge, internalize procedural knowledge, and see the relevance of what they are expected to learn. The authors provide many examples at the elementary and secondary classroom levels. Teachers of grades K-12 can use this information to improve teaching and learning in any content area. Note: This product listing is for the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of the book.
