The Impact Of Attending Second Language Teaching Conferences, Jay Tanaka, María Díez-Ortega

MITESOL Journal: An Online Publication of MITESOL

Attending a second language (L2) teaching conference is assumed to have a positive impact on teaching practice. Currently, however, there are very few studies that examine empirical evidence of such impacts. Given the substantial cost and effort involved in attending a conference, it is important to clarify the nature of conference impacts, so that both language teachers and conference administrators can reflect on how to best generate meaningful improvements in L2 teaching. Questionnaire and interview data were used to examine L2 teaching conference attendees’ perceived impacts on their teaching practice and beliefs. Results reveal generally positive impacts, in the form …

ملخص:

بينما أصبحنا أكثر اعتماداً على الآلات في كل ناحية من حياتنا، فإن استخدام الآلات في الترجمة أاصبح تحدياً مذهلاً. نحن نفضل توفير الوقت والجهد والتكلفة في الترجمة, حيث إن هذه المتطلبات متوفرة لدى الترجمة الآلية، لكن تبقى المشكلة في الدقة والولاء للنص. الترجمة الآلية يمكن أن تكون فعالة في ترجمة بعض النصوص المعينة إلا أن الواقع الإصطلاحي والثقافي في اللغات يبقى مشكلة تواجهها الترجمة الآلية. قام الباحثان في هذه الدراسة بعرض تحليلي لبعض النصوص و ترجمتها من خلال استخدام Google Translate ومن ثم قاما بتصنيف الترجمات من حيث الإصطلاحات، والمعاني المتعددة للمصطلحات، والتعابير ذات الدلالة المتعلقة بالنص، والتعابير غير …

يمثّل الترادف قضية للبحث كانت موضع خلاف طويل وما تزال كذلك، فقد ذهب العلماء في أمرها مذاهب شتى، وتعددت آراؤهم في النظر إليها ما بين مؤيد لوجودها أو منكر لها. وقد عالج البحث هذه القضية عند أبي عبيدة وبين موقفه منها، حيث قام الباحث بدراسة ذلك في مبحثين: الأول منهما؛ مقدمات تمهيدية، عرّف من خلالها، بالإمام أبي عبيدة، وبقضية "الترادف لغة واصطلاحاً، مع بيان مذاهب العلماء واختلافهم في وجودها. وفي الثاني: انتقل في حديثه - عن هذه الظاهرة - من حيز النظرية إلى فضاء التطبيق، وذلك من خلال عرض طائفة منتقاة من مترادفات القرآن الكريم التي نص(رحمه الله) على …

A Thin Line Of Social Justice: Challenges And Changes In Navigating Relations Of Power In Graduate Schools Of Education, Heather Catherine Sands

Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs

This dissertation brings together three qualitative research articles to interrogate a disjuncture between curriculum development in graduate schools of education and the relations of power it fosters in teacher education and counselor education. In applying biopower and intersectional analyses throughout each article, this dissertation contends that the recognition of power relations within these fields helps to highlight hegemonic patterns of teaching and counseling that occur in settings of classrooms and sessions. Three themes emerged within this dissertation: resistance, community, and subjectivity. Article One demonstrates a gap between teachers and school counselors with cyberbullying directed toward LGBTQ+ students. The Article leverages …

Fighting The Resource Curse: The Rights Of Citizens Over Natural Resources, Leif Wenar, Jeremie Gilbert

Northwestern Journal of Human Rights

Respect for the rights of peoples over natural resources is crucial for the flourishing of communities and states. This article confirms that international law ascribes robust resource rights both to indigenous peoples and to citizens of independent states. These resource rights include indigenous peoples’ right to free, prior, and informed consent and citizens’ rights that resource revenues are never used corruptly but are used first to secure their means of subsistence. Resource rights are human rights, respect for which requires substantial reforms in the practices of corporations and investors as well as in the laws of resource-importing and resource-exporting states.

The Situation Of Orphan Works Under Different Jurisdictions, Bzhar Abdullah Ahmed

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

The article analyses the situation of orphan works solutions under several different international jurisdictions, examining each jurisdiction in turn. Various solutions for addressing the problem of orphan works are provided by the jurisdiction of each country, the most comprehensive scheme being offered by the law of the United Kingdom. The UK provides three types of solution: an exceptions-based model, compulsory licensing and extended collective licensing. The author demonstrates that as this problem largely has emerged with the proliferation of technology, some countries have not considered orphan works an issue serious enough to take steps to address. Some countries are still …

What Shall We Call God? An Exploration Of Metaphors Coded From Descriptions Of God From A Large U.S. Undergraduate Sample, Adam K. Fetterman, Nicholas D. Evans, Julie J. Exline, Brian P. Meier

Psychology Faculty Publications

People use numerous metaphors to describe God. God is seen as a bearded man, light, and love. Based on metaphor theories, the metaphors people use to refer to God reflect how people think about God and could, in turn, reflect their worldview. However, little work has explored the common metaphors for God. This was the purpose of the current investigation. Four trained raters coded open-ended responses from predominantly Christian U.S. undergraduates (N = 2,923) describing God for the presence or absence of numerous metaphoric categories. We then assessed the frequency of each of the metaphor categories. We identified 16 metaphor …

Entity Retrieval Using Fine-Grained Entity Aspects, Shubham Chatterjee, Laura Dietz

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Using entity aspect links, we improve upon the current state-of-the-art in entity retrieval. Entity retrieval is the task of retrieving relevant entities for search queries, such as "Antibiotic Use in Livestock". Entity aspect linking is a new technique to refine the semantic information of entity links. For example, while passages relevant to the query above may mention the entity "USA", there are many aspects of the USA of which only few, such as "USA/Agriculture", are relevant for this query. By using entity aspect links that indicate which aspect of an entity is being referred to in the context of the …

Preservice Teachers' Attitudes And Knowledge Towards Assistive Technology: Exploring And In-Class Workshop Approach, Stacey Keown, Moriah Smothers, Tori Colson

Kentucky Teacher Education Journal: The Journal of the Teacher Education Division of the Kentucky Council for Exceptional Children

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (2004) mandates that all students receiving special education services should be considered for assistive technology; therefore, it is imperative that teacher preparation programs prepare preservice teachers to select, implement, and evaluate assistive technology for their future students. This mixed-methods study explored the influence an in-class workshop had on preservice teachers’ feelings of preparedness to use assistive technology in their future classrooms. The participants were all enrolled in a 400-level special education methods course, and their perceptions were assessed by administering a pre- and post- survey.

The Power Of Two Words To Split Circuits, Natalie Whitacre

University of Miami Law Review

28 U.S.C. § 1782 authorizes federal judges to grant assistance to a “foreign or international tribunal” for discovery proceedings. The meaning of the term “foreign or international tribunal” has been the subject of much dispute. In 2019 the Sixth Circuit became the first court of appeals to extend the purview of the statute to private commercial arbitration, creating a circuit split. However, the use of 28 U.S.C. § 1782 in arbitral proceedings raises a number of questions about whether U.S. style discovery would impede the efficiency of arbitration and whether the practice could be extended to international tribunals located within …

Obsculta

In this paper, I discuss the relationship between feminism and women’s liturgical service in the church from three aspects. In the first part, I will give a general description about the development of women’s social status, hoping to show that how women have always struggling to survive and strive for reasonable treatment in societies dominated by men. In the second part, I will turn to the work of Susan A. Ross, a Catholic feminist theologian, and show how from a feminist perspective, women can serve the church with men with their unique circumstances and advantages, and at the same time, …

Right Seeing: Means And End In Patristic Monastic Lives, Jason Horstman

Obsculta

Right seeing is a central motif in the biographical Lives of Saints Antony and Macrina. ‘Right seeing’, used here to signify the alignment of one’s vision with truth, is manifest variously as ‘the discernment of spirits’, as firmly hopeful trust in the revelation of the divine, and as perceiving the world from the divine perspective. Manifest in these ways, right seeing is both a guide for ascetic training the telos of which is union with God, and it is the fruit of that very union with God unto which askesis aspires.

Women's Work: A Feminist Standpoint Theory Study Of Scholarship, Voice, And Resistance In The Academic Generation Of Knowledge, Linnea Angelica Spitzer

Dissertations and Theses

More women than ever are earning doctoral degrees and are taking research or teaching positions at universities. However, the number of tenured women in full professorships have not yet achieved parity with the number of men in similar positions. Of the many reasons proposed for the disproportionate representation of women in the higher ranks of academia, one of the most commonly cited is the lower rates of publication by women in scholarly journals, an important criterion for promotion and tenure. However, women faculty are not unproductive. As scholars, they produce research and publish their findings in mainstream academic journals. In …

Les Formules De Politesse À Valeur Votive: Des Actes De Langage Rassurants Aux Actes Menaçants, Riham Jaradat

Jerash for Research and Studies Journal مجلة جرش للبحوث والدراسات

Ever since Austin has developed his famous Speech Act Theory, it has become common knowledge that the pragmatic value of such acts carry a purely cultural nature. It is established that every linguistic system carries a host of cultural and social characteristics that allow the speech acts to deliver diverse pragmatic ends in a given discourse. This study aims to conduct a discursive analysis to discern the way the vowing act is applied in Colloquial Jordanian Arabic. Given that there is a myriad of ways to use these acts, the study is dedicated to address the mode of using the …

Shakespeare’S Revisionist Historiography Of The Crusades And Crusading, Mufeed F. Alabdullah

Jerash for Research and Studies Journal مجلة جرش للبحوث والدراسات

This paper studies the topic of crusades and crusading in Shakespeare's King John, Richard II, 1&2 Henry IV, and Henry V within the medieval religious, political, and historical contexts seen retrospectively from the perspective of the Elizabethan England of Reformation. It surveys and analyzes Shakespeare's revisionist views of that medieval historical phenomenon, and demonstrates that he addresses the main aspects of that issue with some liberty he gathered from the cultural outlook developed after his country had sailed away from medieval ideologies and politics. Shakespeare looks back and evaluates not only the holy wars directed against the Muslims in …
