The Effects Of Cross-Cultural Experience On Travel Participants, Elizabeth Sander Moreira

Theses and Graduate Projects

The principal hypothesis of this study is that within a group of travel participants, individuals' perceptions of the effects of the trip will differ, but at the same time there will be identifiable convergence of perception. The specific problem addressed is how the lives of Project Minnesota/Leon trip participants have been affected by visiting Nicaragua. The research methodology used was the speech communication theory of Symbolic Convergence and the data was examined by quantal analysis. Three distinct types of participants were found, supporting the validity of this theory and soundly defending the principal hypothesis. A corollary hypothesis is that cross-cultural …

A Case For Exclusive Sections Of The Basic Oral Communication Course: International Esl Students, Robert C. Dick

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article argues that assigning exclusive sections of the foundational oral communication course to international students using English as a second language fosters stronger participation, language proficiency, and academic integration. Drawing on national enrollment reports, classroom discourse research, and questionnaire evidence from ESL enrollees, the discussion compares exclusive and mixed section formats, highlighting how language anxiety, cultural turn taking norms, and instructor calling patterns limit involvement when learners are mainstreamed. Exclusive grouping, the analysis shows, increases peer supported negotiation of meaning, expands speaking time, and enables instructors to tailor interactive tasks in public speaking, interviewing, discussion, and debate that accelerate …

Testing: We Need A New Perspective, W. John Harker

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In their recent study of reading assessment, Farr and Carey (1986) observe that over the past several years "testing programs ... have exploded on the educational scene" (p. 6). Those familiar with reading instruction and the assessment of children's reading development must agree. Testing programs at the district, state, and national levels have proliferated recently as more and more pressure is brought to bear on teachers to demonstrate in some quantifiable fashion their success (or lack of it) in teaching children to read.

Enrolling The International English As A Second Language Student In Nova University’S Programs For Higher Education: Implications For The Future, Daniel Lea Carlson

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

Since 1972, Programs for Higher Education at Nova University has offered a field-based Ed.D. program to clusters of students in various locations around the United States. In 1985, a regional cluster was designed to meet the needs of interested prospective students who were not located close enough to the existing local clusters to participate in the program. As the regional cluster grew, it was joined by a number of international students who live in other countries and for whom English is a second or third language.

Enrollment of international ESL students raised questions regarding the level of English proficiency needed …

An Evaluation Of The Academic Success Of Students Who Participated In The English For Non-Native Residents Program At Portland State University, Linda Carol Andrews Dunn

Dissertations and Theses

Many programs exist across the United States to prepare non-native English speaking students for academic work. The effectiveness of these programs has been the subject of various research projects, with mixed results. Some have found that the programs they have examined seem to have led to higher achievement among participants. Others have found that it is difficult to show any effect. However, the amount of time and resources devoted to such programs warrants continuing efforts to evaluate their success.

This study compares the academic records of non-native English speaking students who were enrolled in the English for Non-native Residents Program …
