Teaching French As A Foreign Language In Multilingual And Anglophone Contexts: The Experiences Of Teachers In Nigeria And Ghana, Michael Akinpelu, Stella Afi Makafui Yegblemenawo
Teaching French As A Foreign Language In Multilingual And Anglophone Contexts: The Experiences Of Teachers In Nigeria And Ghana, Michael Akinpelu, Stella Afi Makafui Yegblemenawo
Educational Considerations
Nigeria and Ghana are two Anglophone countries in West Africa that have adopted the teaching of the French language in their education systems because of their proximity to francophone countries and the necessity for regional integration. Whereas the language has gained some official status in the national curriculum (National Policy on Education) in Nigeria and made a required subject at some levels of education, French continues to enjoy a privileged status in Ghana but without an official status yet. Using a comparative approach, this paper explores the language policy in favour of the French language and its teaching at the …
Anna Julia Cooper: Standing At The Intersection Of History And Hope, Shannon L. Eickhoff
Anna Julia Cooper: Standing At The Intersection Of History And Hope, Shannon L. Eickhoff
Educational Considerations
Anna Julia Cooper transcended her historical place in time to become one of the most important examples of early resistance to intersectional oppression. Her seminal work, A Voice from the South (1892), articulates her feminine viewpoint on philosophy, social policies, religion, and the status of Black women’s education. Often using the language of the oppressor, Cooper’s acute wit and brilliant use of rhetorical devices allowed her to express herself in spheres of influence where she might otherwise have been silenced. Cooper’s steadfast dedication to racial uplift is illustrated through her life-long commitment to the education of Black women …
Alternative Application Of Oral History In The Secondary Classroom, Alan English
Alternative Application Of Oral History In The Secondary Classroom, Alan English
Educational Considerations
While oral history has been demonstrated to hold potential as a more engaging and rigorous alternative to textbook-centered instruction, it has also failed to replace textbooks as the mainstream methodology in high school classrooms. Here, the author presents oral history data from Jim Walch, a WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War veteran who “retired” as a Red Cross emergency relief worker as well as sample classroom activities derived from that data. The objective is that these sample activities may be received as more approachable than traditional oral history methodology to secondary teachers who are accustomed to textbook-based instruction. It is …

Wartime Teachers: Stories From The Front, Rachel K. Turner, Eliel Hinojosa Jr.
Educational Considerations
In the early 1990s, Dr. O.L. Davis of the University of Texas at Austin sought evacuee teacher and student recollections in England during World War II. The overarching purpose for Davis was to gain an understanding of the effect on schooling and education, specifically as it relates to the curriculum for students. This article continues where he left off and places focus on teacher evacuees. Of the several hundred responses from student evacuees, we utilized ten of the thirty teacher evacuees who responded to Dr. Davis. The purpose in this research endeavor seeks to discover the impact evacuations in England …
Developing Creativity Through Enhanced Communication And Teamwork In Engineering, Frederick Burrack
Developing Creativity Through Enhanced Communication And Teamwork In Engineering, Frederick Burrack
Educational Considerations
Engineers need to address problems through multiple lenses and consider solutions that stray from the most efficient linear consideration. In higher-education training of future engineers, bringing together learning experiences from the liberal arts into learning processes for engineering can enhance the development of creativity and communication skills, and expand conceptions of teamwork. To prepare future generations of engineers, it has been found that experimentation with curricula that intersects educational areas outside of engineering can enhance student competence in ways that is useful to their future success. This study explored intersecting electrical engineering curriculum with creative arts, specifically music composition. Exposure …
