Depth Of The Surface, Marianne Rogoff Jan 2013

Depth Of The Surface, Marianne Rogoff

Collected Faculty Scholarship

"Painter Melinda Cootsona chose the title 'A Sense of Place' for her September 2013 show at The Studio Shop long before “Richard Diebenkorn: The Berkeley Years” opened at San Francisco’s DeYoung Museum and art historians launched a series of lectures on his sense of place, though perhaps this is no coincidence. Cootsona expresses a clear love for the work of Diebenkorn and shares his figurative/abstract aesthetic and love of color. The paintings in Cootsona’s newest body of works offer similarly sensuous appreciation for the particular pleasures of California sunlight, but the “sense of place” she depicts may reflect a more …


Constellation Translation: A Canadian Noh Play, Judy Halebsky Jan 2013

Constellation Translation: A Canadian Noh Play, Judy Halebsky

Collected Faculty Scholarship

Daphne Marlatt’s play, The Gull, explores the form and structure of traditional Japanese Noh theatre to expand the possibilities of translating Noh for a Canadian audience. Marlatt developed the play out of her 1974 collection of poems, Steveston, which touches on the experience of Japanese-Canadian residents of the fishing community of Steveston, BC, who were evacuated and interned during World War II. In 2006, under the direction of Heidi Specht, Pangaea Arts staged The Gull through collaboration among Japanese Noh master Akira Matsui, Noh professionals from Tokyo, and Canadian actors. This research demonstrates that the emphasis on maintaining …

The Post-World War Ii Origin And Evolution Of Mountain Snowshoes And Mountain Snowshoeing In North America, Karl Lillquist Jan 2013

The Post-World War Ii Origin And Evolution Of Mountain Snowshoes And Mountain Snowshoeing In North America, Karl Lillquist

Geography Faculty Scholarship

The origins of mountain snowshoes can be traced back to the 1940s and 1950s, when small, maneuverable wooden frames were developed in the Adirondacks and Green Mountains. Fixed traction devices and forward hinge points originated in the Cascades in the late 1950s, enabling better access to steep terrain. The 1960s brought strong, lightweight aluminum-framed snowshoes from the Sierra Nevada. During this time, neoprene-coated nylon began to replace rawhide lacing and bindings in the Adirondacks, while neoprene-coated nylon decking was first used in the Cascades. Integrated plastic frame/decking snowshoes were a 1960s Rockies weight- and labor-saving innovation. From the Cascades in …

Publishing The Victorian Novel, Rachel Sagner Buurma Jan 2013

Publishing The Victorian Novel, Rachel Sagner Buurma

English Literature Faculty Works

“Publishing the Victorian Novel” looks to the methods of book history and literary criticism to ask how we might understand the ways Victorian publishers and authors (alongside editors, publishers’ readers, librarians, and booksellers) worked together to make novels. Paying attention to both the material and literary aspects of this making, the essay examines a few different scenes of novel publication with a particular focus on the way Victorian novelists, publishers, and reading publics understood aspects of the publication process like the serialization of novels, the three-volume novel, and the authority of the novelist and publisher. In an attempt to capture …

Using Journal Writing With Peer Feedback To Enhance Efl Students' Writing Ability Across Proficiency Levels, Watcharee Kulprasit, Thanyapa Chiramanee

PASAA

This quasi-experimental research integrated journal writing with peer feedback in an EFL writing classroom to examine its impact on writing ability of 42 Mathayomsuksa 3 Semi-English-program students in terms of accuracy and fluency across proficiency levels. The findings revealed that all students' overall writing ability improved significantly. The middle and the low groups' writing ability improved significantly in terms of accuracy and the word count in their writing significantly increased while the high group's did not. However, no significant improvement was found in all students' production of consistent language structures and vocabulary use: an aspect of fluency. The data analysis …

The Use Of Win, Self-Creative Interaction Ppt, And Online Tests To Assist In The Instruction Of English For Taiwanese Freshmen, Hui-Kuei Hsieh, Hui-Uen Chia, Erickson Lin

PASAA

Nowadays, because of the expansion of high-speed networking, people highly depend upon computers and the Internet to receive information and acquire knowledge. Education is gradually transforming from teacher-centric to student-centric. Instructors have become facilitators, tutors, coaches, guides and motivators. As a result, instruction has become non-linear and self-directed. Traditional classroom lectures are being gradually replaced by interactive teaching approaches. To reflect this trend, new forms of instruction must also take learners' needs into consideration. Consequently, interactive multimedia (IM) integrated instruction has become a must in Taiwanese higher education. Today, IM and courseware are required educational media in almost every Taiwanese …

Harnessing The Power Of K-W-L To Help Struggling Efl Readers Become Strategic Readers, Dumrong Adunyarittigun, Wichaya Pidchamook

PASAA

This study aimed to investigate the effects of KWL to help struggling college EFL readers to read informational texts. Thirteen Thai college second-year students received instruction on how to use KWL through a process of teacher modeling. They were engaged in activating their background knowledge and interest, generating their own questions, and discussing the texts with peers and teachers before, during and after reading. Four reading tests and interviews were used to investigate the students' reading performance. The results revealed that the struggling readers did improve their reading performance over time and had active engagement in reading the informational texts. …


Degree Of Comprehensibility In Thai Accented English Rated By Native Speaker Judges, Rachada Pongprairat, Sudaporn Luksaneeyanawin Jan 2013

Degree Of Comprehensibility In Thai Accented English Rated By Native Speaker Judges, Rachada Pongprairat, Sudaporn Luksaneeyanawin

PASAA

This study focuses on Thai accented English in one suprasegmental aspect—tonality (tone group chunking and rhythmic group division). Prior studies mostly compared the productions of learners at different proficiency levels with reference to native speakers as a norm. This study goes further by investigating the degree of difficulty in understanding Thai accented read speech by two groups of native speaker judges with different amounts of contact with Thai learners. The English read speech of two groups of Thai EFL learners representing slightly accented speakers (n = 5) and heavily accented speakers (n = 5) were randomised and presented to the …

An Analysis Of Moves In Introductions In International And Thai Journal Research Articles, Wirada Amnuai, Anchalee Wannaruk

PASAA

The schematic organization of research articles in terms of moves and steps has attracted extensive attention in genre study, and the focus of move-based analysis is on the hierarchical schematic structures of texts. The primary aim of this study is to compare the rhetorical moves in English research article introductions in Applied Linguistics as published in local Thai journals with those published in international journals. The comparison was made between 20 local and 20 international research article introductions selected from seven refereed local Thai journals and from seven international journals. These research article introductions were analyzed based on Swales' (2004) …


Encouraging Thai Efl Students' Recursive Progression Through The Writing Process With Blogs, Onuma Lakarnchua, Punchalee Wasanasomsithi Jan 2013

Encouraging Thai Efl Students' Recursive Progression Through The Writing Process With Blogs, Onuma Lakarnchua, Punchalee Wasanasomsithi

PASAA

Blogging, which allows users to post texts to an online site and have others comment on them, is posited to benefit writing as a process. Whether or not blogging encourages recursive progression through the writing process, which is deemed essential to fostering writing ability, and the factors that help it to do so, still need further investigation, particularly when it is implemented in a Thai context. This study sought to determine if Thai EFL students who used blogs to complete writing assignments moved recursively through the writing process, and if so, what features of blogging seemed to promote this action. …


Ten Mistakes To Avoid When Writing A Literature Review, Woravut Jaroongkhongdach Jan 2013

Ten Mistakes To Avoid When Writing A Literature Review, Woravut Jaroongkhongdach

PASAA

Writing a quality literature review is important for success in publication and graduate studies, but it is a difficult task for many novice researchers and graduate students to achieve as noted by several scholars. For instance, Boote and Beile (2005) assert that ―most literature reviews [in dissertations] are poorly conceptualized and written‖ (p. 4), and Onwuegbuzie and Daniel (2005) report that many literature reviews of manuscripts for publications are underdeveloped and have problems with unsupported claims. These problems seem to be common in various disciplines such as education and social studies (see e.g., Fraenkel & Wallen, 2008; Zorn & Campbell, …


Communication Mobility And The Environment For Its Development, Olga A. Marina, Olga V. Smirnova Jan 2013

Communication Mobility And The Environment For Its Development, Olga A. Marina, Olga V. Smirnova

PASAA

Language use in the professional sphere gives rise to great complexity of communication as it adds contextual dimensions of both a linguistic and non-linguistic character due to the specific purposes and demands of this environment. The explosion of information for professional needs in foreign languages and expanding international professional communication, cooperation and mobility point to the need to revise the methods of teaching foreign languages to university students in order to increase the competitiveness and mobility of future graduates. Now the quality of professional foreign language training is defined by the ability of specialists to work effectively, to adapt to …

Looking Through The Critical Lens With The Public Service Announcement: A Short Discussion In Teaching Practice, Sheiron Sanchez

PASAA

Success for lifelong learners in the 21st century requires a more active, dynamic, and critical engagement with the diversity of texts inside and outside the classroom. This cornucopia of texts is constantly available for both educators and their students. Especially with the limitless access to texts via different media outlets, acute awareness and vigilance are necessary when certain texts are applied in any classroom. Within a classroom discourse, the development of critical thinking skills can be transformed into a social practice in the global community. Teachers can guide students in challenging established power relationships and social norms and practices, allowing …
