For A Pedagogy Of Multiliteracies: Reconciling Communicative And Text-Centered Instruction In Elementary And Intermediate Fl Courses, Heather W. Allen, Beatrice Dupuy

Heather Willis Allen

This two-day workshop is part of CERCLL's 2011 summer workshop series. To register to participate, see CERCLL's Institutes and Workshops webpage. Summary: The 2007 MLA Report calls for large-scale curricular reform in university foreign language (FL) departments to integrate the study of language, literature, and culture and move beyond the language-content dichotomy that typically characterizes the undergraduate curriculum. A pedagogy of multiliteracies is proposed as a pathway toward this curricular reform. On Day 1, the presenters will engage the audience in identifying key features of the communicative language teaching paradigm and in considering how similar or different key features of …

A Long-Term Approach To Foreign Language Teaching Assistant Professional Development (Workshop), Heather W. Allen, Beatrice Dupuy

Beyond The Basics: How Can Librarians Teach What We Truly Care About?, Christopher A. Sweet

Christopher A. Sweet

Most research instruction sessions do very little in the way of inspiring creativity among students. The great majority of these sessions engage students only at the lower levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy (Remembering and Understanding). This often occurs by necessity- someone has to teach students research basics before they can ever hope to use research as part of a creative process. At the same time, we didn’t become librarians because we were passionate about Boolean operators! How can librarians move beyond the basics and begin to teach big-picture information literacy concepts such as intellectual freedom, critical thinking, and ethical use of …

Basic Emotions And Early-Learned Verbs, Josita Maouene, Megumi Kuwabara, Daniel Freer, Linda B. Smith

Dr. Josita C Maouene

The purpose of this study is to describe the relationships between 102 early-learned verbs and five basic emotions in 60 children raging from 2 to 6 years of age (min 32 mo, max 72 mo). While previous research centering on the embodiment perspective has investigated such components as body parts in verb meaning (Maouene, Hidaka & Smith, 2008), this study seeks to add basic emotions to the core meaning of verbs. At a threshold of 50% agreement, the results indicate a tie: 47.6% of the verbs were related to one main emotion and 49.5% to a pair of emotions. Within …
