It's Not Just About Speed: The Role Of Prosody In Reading Fluency Instruction, Kathy Kersul-Wiener Jan 2007

It's Not Just About Speed: The Role Of Prosody In Reading Fluency Instruction, Kathy Kersul-Wiener

Kathy Kersul-Wiener

With direct instruction in elements of prosody, teachers can see improvements in assessment scores, as well as hearing better readers who understand that reading isn't just about reading fast.


The School Based Oral English Test (Oet): Perceptions And Practices Of Selected Mara Junior Science College Teachers, Zaitun Abd. Majid, Mimi Looi Lin Eng, Arshad Abd Samad Jan 2007

The School Based Oral English Test (Oet): Perceptions And Practices Of Selected Mara Junior Science College Teachers, Zaitun Abd. Majid, Mimi Looi Lin Eng, Arshad Abd Samad

Arshad Abd Samad

The school-based oral English test (OET) is one of the more recent innovations in assessment in the Malaysian school system. However, since its inception in 2002, the OET has been the topic of various discussions. The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine the perceptions and practices among a small group of MARA Junior Science College English teachers in relation to the OET. Teacher perceptions of the OET will not only influence the effective implementation of the test, but also teaching techniques in the classroom. Specifically, this study sought teacher views regarding the fairness and validity of the OET, …

A New Abel Inversion By Means Of The Integrals Of An Input Function With Noise, Li Huang Jan 2007

A New Abel Inversion By Means Of The Integrals Of An Input Function With Noise, Li Huang

Li Huang

Abel’s integral equations arise inmany areas of natural science and engineering, particularly in plasma diagnostics. This paper proposes a new and effective approximation of the inversion of Abel transform. This algorithm can be simply implemented by symbolic computation, and moreover an nth-order approximation reduces to the exact solution when it is a polynomial in r2 of degree less than or equal to n. Approximate Abel inversion is expressed in terms of integrals of input measurement data; so the suggested approach is stable for experimental data with random noise. An error analysis of the approximation of Abel inversion is given. Finally, …

Understanding New Faculty Background, Aspirations, Challenges, And Growth, Mary Deane Sorcinelli, Ann E. Austin, Melissa Mcdaniels Jan 2007

Understanding New Faculty Background, Aspirations, Challenges, And Growth, Mary Deane Sorcinelli, Ann E. Austin, Melissa Mcdaniels

Mary Deane Sorcinelli

Early career faculty, defined as those within the first seven years of appointment to a faculty position or those who have not yet received tenure, contribute to the present and create the future of universities and colleges. This chapter contributes to deeper understanding of new faculty by addressing these issues: 1) the demographics of early career faculty; 2) the preparation they receive and the gaps in their graduate and post-doctoral backgrounds; 3) the abilities and skills early career faculty need to succeed in higher education; 4) the expectations early career faculty have for their careers and the challenges they experience …
