Changes In Reading Comprehension Across Cultures And Over Time, Petra Lietz Dec 1995

Changes In Reading Comprehension Across Cultures And Over Time, Petra Lietz

Dr Petra Lietz

Two internationally comparative studies of reading were conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), namely the Reading Comprehension Study in 1970/71 and the Reading Literacy Study in 1990/91. Eight educational systems participated in both studies at the 14- year-old level, namely Belgium (French), Finland, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United States of America. The information on student, teacher, and school variables that were common to both studies provided the core evidence used for analysis in this thesis. The major results are described. A general factor, reasoning, could be identified as pertaining …

Specific-Purpose Language Performance Tests : Task And Interaction, Tom Lumley, Annie Brown

Dr Tom Lumley

This paper reports on an investigation into the role which expert professional informants can play in providing post hoc content validation of tasks used in this kind of occupation-specific test, focusing on both the content of the tasks and the behaviour of the interlocutors. The study draws on data from the oral interaction component …

Educating Street Children: Some Cross-Cultural Perspectives, Irving Epstein Dec 1995

Educating Street Children: Some Cross-Cultural Perspectives, Irving Epstein

Irving Epstein

This paper analyzes various institutional responses to homelessness among children and youth as a means of better understanding the workings of the neo-liberal state, both in the developing and the developed world. This is a fruitful exercise because the culture of the street is unique and is difficult to reconcile with the predominant values of state-sponsored institutions. In making this argument, the American and Brazilian cases are specifically discussed, as they are seen as representative of neo-liberalism in the developed and developing world. Although each case includes significant differences, a major contradiction of neo-liberalism, with particular reference to its promotion …
