Linguistic Isolation: Ferdinand De Saussure’S Linguistic Theory And The Implications For Historiography, Luke Neilson

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

“Linguistic Isolation” concerns the confluence of historical description and language. This essay explores the influence of Ferdinand de Saussure on facticity and description in historiography, arguing that de Saussure’s linguistic theory of significant, signifie, and difference pose problems for any historical account which attempts to describe the past as it actually occurred. Specifically, if we grant de Saussure’s linguistic theory for historical narratives, we are forced to abandon meta-historical entities and concepts, to impose non-empirical interpretive categories on data-sets, limit historical evidences to extremely small data sets, and, perhaps, to abandon the discipline of history altogether. Finally, the essay suggests …

Teaching Technical Writing To Engineering Students: Design, Implementation, And Assessment For Project-Based Instruction, Yang Gao

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019) (Archived)

This study, through the perspective of project-based instruction (PBI), designed, implemented, and then assessed a technical writing course for engineering students. The study first analyzed the existing literature by addressing current challenges in technical writing to students in engineering majors and why PBI is a fit and effective pedagogy in teaching technical writing to engineering students. It then introduced the design of a semester-based technical writing course and a specific timeline, writing tasks, and projects that had been involved in the course. The study then described specific tasks through rationales behind each task and connections among tasks. Different from the …

Discourses Of Bilingualism: Facebooking In The Margins -- Generating Sexist, Classist, And Racist Backlash, Mary Francis Agnello

International Critical Media Literacy Conference (2016-2019)

This session will focus on sexist, classist and racist Facebook discussions about bilinguals and bilingualism. Feminist and critical discourse analyses inform analytic lenses for identifying and making sense of peoples’ attitudes, ideological penchants and the possibilities for having an informed dialog regarding concepts about dialog participants. Two research questions guide the study: How can unlike-minded people come to some agreement or consensus about a highly controversial issue like bilingualism in the United States? To what degree is attempting to converse with people from different political persuasions a worthwhile endeavor in light of polarized tensions in the United States?

Cultural Concepts As Powerful Theoretical Tools: Chinese Teachers’ Perceptions Of Their Relationship With Students In A Cross-Cultural Context, Jinghe Han, Yu Han

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

Teachers’ cultural backgrounds can result in challenges in establishing positive teacher-student relationships in cross-cultural settings. The context for this study is based on the everyday practice of teachers and students in the classrooms of diverse Australian schools, where issues of cross-cultural teacher-student relationships have been raised. This study involved a group of Chinese-background Mandarin teachers who had one year of volunteer teaching experiences in Australian schools. Data were collected from focus group discussions at the point of the completion of their twelve-month teaching practice, in order to access their fresh memories of their experiences. It explores their “culture” in relating …
