Trauma And Second Language Learning Among Laotian Refugees, Daryl Gordon Jan 2015

Trauma And Second Language Learning Among Laotian Refugees, Daryl Gordon

Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement

Unprecedented numbers of adult refugee learners are entering ESL classes, many of whom escaped war-torn countries and endured long stays in refugee camps. Research in public health and psychology has documented high levels of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder in refugee populations. Drawing on ethnographic research with Laotian refugee women who experienced pre-settlement trauma during the Vietnam War and interviews with bilingual mental health professionals, this article examines current second language acquisition theories to consider how they elucidate the effect of trauma on second language learning. The article offers cross-cultural perspectives about the impact of trauma and recommendations for …

Cambodian Family-School Partnership: Toward An Evolving Theory, Peter Tan Keo Jan 2015

Cambodian Family-School Partnership: Toward An Evolving Theory, Peter Tan Keo

Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement

This article explores the current debate around family-school partnerships. Traditional family-school partnership theories do not account for the intended voices of Cambodian families. This article draws from existing research on Southeast Asian families more generally in order to develop a research-based, data-driven family-school partnership conceptual framework for Cambodian American families. It is believed that a pro-ethnic, voice-centric family-school partnership fosters an inclusive, supportive learning environment for Cambodian children. The logic undergirding that belief assumes that this partnership is likely to increase cultural awareness between critical home-school partners. At the very least, the proposed concept model serves as a theoretical building …

A Qualitative Examination Of The Psychosocial Adjustment Of Khmer Refugees In Three Massachusetts Communities, Leakhena Nou Jan 2015

A Qualitative Examination Of The Psychosocial Adjustment Of Khmer Refugees In Three Massachusetts Communities, Leakhena Nou

Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement

This paper uses a sociological stress process model to explore the Khmer adult refugees' experience in Massachusetts. The analysis is based on the responses of three focus groups in the Khmer communities of Lowell, Lynn, and Revere, Massachusetts. The focus groups provided an in-depth understanding of sources of stress, stress mediators, and psychosocial adjustment/adaptational patterns for Khmer refugees who had experienced the Cambodian genocide. Symptoms and reactions associated with underlying causes of mental health problems had culturally specific relevance to physical illness and mental health.

Typeface Connotation, Matias Ferrari Jan 2015

Typeface Connotation, Matias Ferrari

Open Access Theses

Since the invention of movable type, letters and characters of the Western alphabet have worn many different typefaces. The same way clothing can suggest fragments of the persona of who wears them, it has been suggested that typefaces carry connotative value.


Tourist-Tourist Gaze In Cruise Travel: The Case Of Chinese Travelers, Yuan Si Jan 2015

Tourist-Tourist Gaze In Cruise Travel: The Case Of Chinese Travelers, Yuan Si

Open Access Theses

By applying in-depth interviews with recent Chinese cruise tourists, this study investigates the slightly examined topic in tourism research—tourist-tourist gaze. This study examines tourist-tourist gaze as a form of non-verbal interaction and the focus is put on the emotional and behavioral changes of Chinese tourists in their gazing interaction process, the functions tourist-tourist gaze possesses and the impact of such interaction on tourism experience in the context of a cruise experience. The results based on analysis of interviews show that Chinese tourists have intense gaze interactions with other tourists in a cruise trip, during which tourists have a series of …


English Language Learning Kindergartners' Dynamic Responses To Picturebook Reading, Jiyoung Yi Jan 2015

English Language Learning Kindergartners' Dynamic Responses To Picturebook Reading, Jiyoung Yi

Open Access Dissertations

This study explores the nature of English language learning by kindergartners as they engage in multimodal literacy practices in response to picturebook readings in a mainstream classroom. Three focal Spanish-speaking kindergartners and their classroom teacher took part in this study. Data were collected daily for four months in a half-day morning kindergarten program. The participants' verbal and nonverbal classroom interactions during picturebook readings were coded and analyzed to characterize the nature of ELL kindergartners' multimodal responses to picturebook readings. Findings indicate that the classroom instruction did not fully address the differences in the focal children's levels of English language proficiency. …


New Evidence That Bimanual Motor Timing Performance Is Not A Significant Factor In Developmental Stuttering, Allison Ilice Hilger Jan 2015

New Evidence That Bimanual Motor Timing Performance Is Not A Significant Factor In Developmental Stuttering, Allison Ilice Hilger

Open Access Theses

Stuttering is a disorder that involves a breakdown in the speech-motor system, resulting in disfluencies such as part- and whole-word repetitions, prolongations, and blocks. This study addresses the question regarding whether this motor breakdown is specific to the speech-motor system, or more generalized across motor systems. As an expansion of Olander, Smith, and Zelaznik (2010), we measured bimanual motor timing performance in 115 children: 70 children who stutter (CWS) and 45 children who do not stutter (CWNS). The children were followed for five years of the study by completing a clapping task using a synchronization-continuation paradigm. Two analyses were completed. …


The Use Of Oral History And Narrative Research In Broadening The Historical Foundation Of The Agricultural Communication Field, Natalie L Federer Jan 2015

The Use Of Oral History And Narrative Research In Broadening The Historical Foundation Of The Agricultural Communication Field, Natalie L Federer

Open Access Dissertations

The historical foundation of the agricultural communication community (consisting of both academics and the profession) is shallow and void of humanistic perspective, and there is a minimal amount of historical content that focuses on academic and professional history. The need to explore and interpret historical dimensions of this field is vital to further development of the discipline as an academic and professional field. Oral history was utilized to capture and preserve the interview content from a small sample of agricultural communication and Extension professionals and faculty while narrative research, interpretative theory, and constructivism were utilized to further understand and interpret …


The Historical Evolution Of The German Present Perfect From The Perspective Of Complexity Theory And Emergent Grammar, Valentina Concu Jan 2015

The Historical Evolution Of The German Present Perfect From The Perspective Of Complexity Theory And Emergent Grammar, Valentina Concu

Open Access Theses

The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of the present perfect in Modern German and also, to trace its development in the early stages of German. Therefore, the synchronic analysis, in which I analyze articles from a famous German magazine, is combined with the diachronic study of the present perfect attestations in Old High German and Middle High German. This study is conducted within a Complexity-Theory and Emergent Grammar approach in which languages are viewed as dynamic system that changes over time, and grammar is seen as an epiphenomenon and a result of communicative needs among speakers.


Calculus For Decision Systems, Jorge Antonio Samayoa Ranero Jan 2015

Calculus For Decision Systems, Jorge Antonio Samayoa Ranero

Open Access Dissertations

The conceptualization of the term "system" has become highly dependent on the application domain. What a physicist means by the term system might be different than what a sociologist means by the same term. In 1956, Bertalanffy [1] defined a system as " a set of units with relationships among them". This and many other definitions of system share the idea of a system as a black box that has parts or elements interacting between each other. This means that at some level of abstraction all systems are similar, what eventually differentiates one system from another is the set of …


The Effects Of Online Katakana Word Recognition Training Among Novice Learners Of Japanese As A Foreign Language, Yumiko Tashiro Jan 2015

The Effects Of Online Katakana Word Recognition Training Among Novice Learners Of Japanese As A Foreign Language, Yumiko Tashiro

Open Access Dissertations

Because word recognition processes differ depending on orthographic systems, second language learners with different orthographic backgrounds need to acquire new word recognition strategies suitable to the orthography in their second language. Japanese is a multi-script language and one of the scripts, katakana, is mainly used to transcribe Western loanwords. Due to the sound alternations resulting from the process of borrowing, learners of Japanese often experience difficulties in reading and writing katakana loanwords. Thus, this study investigates the effectiveness of online katakana word recognition training among novice learners of Japanese. Thirty-one students from a first-semester Japanese course at a large research …
