The Meanings And The Distribution Of The Perfect In Present-Day American English Writing, Betty Lou Dubois

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

A search of the relevant literature and of textbooks of English for speakers of other languages fails to turn up a theory of the English perfect which is both comprehensive and fully explanatory. The author hypothesizes that the meaning common to all forms of the perfect of American English, which includes those forms traditionally called the present perfect tense, the past perfect tense, and the perfect of the infinitive, the gerund, and the present participle is priority to a point of reference. The perfect situates the action or state conveyed by the lexical verb in a period of time which …

The Relationship Of Written Expression To Self Concept In Primary Children, Anna Lou Case

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis, the outcome of nearly three years of preparation, including study, development of procedures, trial and observation, was begun in an attempt to answer the following questions: How may original writing among elementary pupils be motivated successfully? Can positive feelings about self be promoted to a measurable degree as a result of emphasizing individual oral and written expression?

Although much thinking and evaluating occurred during the three years, the experimentation and results reported here are limited to the work accomplished and findings obtained during the third year. The twenty-six children involved in this study were third-year elementary pupils, whose …

The Possible Causes And Remediation Of Inverted Vision, Archie J. Beamer

All Master's Theses

The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine possible corrective methods for inverted vision. The visual problem is usually outgrown in the early teens, but these children who experience the problem tend to be classified as retarded because they cannot read. An intensive research of the literature for possible causes and corrective methods revealed inconclusive proof. However, two boys who were diagnosed to have inverted vision were given perceptual training exercises. The subjects responded to the treatment and in a short time were started on a reading readiness program. Although only two cases were found on which to experiment, …

Some Aspects Of Navajo Orthography, Wayne Stanley Holm

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Navajo has been written, in various forms, for more than a century, but practical orthographies have been available for less than fifty years.

Navajo literacy programs have been conducted in the past by various interest groups, but the current effort differs from its predecessors in that it has the support of a growing number of young Navajo educators. Vowel length, tone, ar1id nasality are phonemic in Navajo. The current practical orthography makes use of doubled vowels to mark length, an acute accent to mark high tone, and a cedilla or "nasal hook" to mark nasality. The orthography makes it fairly …

Programmed Reading Instruction Versus Traditional Reading Instruction And Their Relation To Science Achievement, Harold Eugene Garner

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

This doctoral research was conducted to determine if there was a statistical difference in achievement between fourth grade students who were instructed through a programmed reading approach and those fourth grade students who were instructed in the traditional reading methods with a basal text series. Secondly, whether the same fourth grade students who were instructed by the programmed reading method would achieve significantly higher gain scores in fourth grade science than those students who were instructed in the traditional reading method.

Communication Disorders & Special Education Theses & Dissertations

A systematic pilot investigation of connotative differences in the meaning of commonly used labels for "emotional disturbance" was undertaken with psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, elementary-education teachers, special-education teachers, and counselors in the Tidewater area of Virginia. The Semantic Differential technique de eloped by Osgood (1952) was selected as the method of investigation, and an instrument was prepared from a sample of the professional and nonprofessional populations through the use of a modified paper-and-pencil free association. A 35-scale instrument was developed from this procedure and administered to a sample of 100 graduate and undergraduate students at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia. …

Situations And Language: A Sociolinguistic Investigation, Rosalie Maggio Donofrio

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Statement of Problem

The purpose of this research is to begin to refute the deficit approach to the verbal abilities of poor children. It is the investigator's contention that data collected on poor children's verbal abilities was done in incorrect social situations. Current research indicates that language development is innate. Evidence now indicates, also, that "disadvantaged" children will be non-verbal and/or nonsensical in situations they see as threatening, while in non-threatening situations they display an adequate verbal ability. It is the object of this research to vary socio­linguistic variables, and create symmetrical and asymmetrical situations, in order to test the …

Multicultural Curriculum Training With Pre-Student Teachers In Language Arts., Martha Weidman Hubble

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Despite serious attempts to increase the educational success of minority groups, culturally diverse learners continue to fail to acquire the educational skills that allow for comforts afforded the majority culture. With stress on developing native and English language skills, important cultural aspects of minority groups' heritages have not been the primary concern. This study relates to two problems in multicultural education1 (1) the inability of teachers to relate to and understand. the culturally diverse learner, and (2) the dearth of teaching materials based on the minority group members' cultural heritages.

Randomly selected from 29 secondary education pre-student teachers in language …

From The Page To The Mind, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

A remarkable French book which deals comprehensively with the different aspects of reading is La Lisibilite by Frangois Richaudeau, published in Paris by Denoel-Gontier in 1969. The title of this book immediately brings up a common problem in translation. Every serious student of language knows that very frequently the corresponding or supposedly equivalent words in different languages do not have quite the same meaning. While they may have considerable basic relationship, one may cover more or less ground than the other, and they do not come to the idea from the same angle of approach.
