Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

In the early 1950s, when President Harry S. Truman called upon the scholarly community to undertake the publication of the papers of individuals important to an understanding of American history, Henry Laurens of South Carolina was among the 112 figures recommended. Laurens was not well known to twentieth-century historians outside of South Carolina even though he had held several prestigious appointments on a national level. Indeed, one of the goals of the Laurens Papers was to rescue him from an undeserved obscurity, and it is certain that the superb sixteen volume edition of Laurens's papers, published for the South Carolina …

Effects Of On-Site Reading Clinical Tutoring On Children's Performance, Abha Gupta

Teaching & Learning Faculty Publications

This research was conducted to study the effects of field-based clinical tutoring on struggling readers. Struggling readers from two grade levels, 3rd and 5th were randomly divided into two groups. One group received individualized tutoring in reading for a semester from apprentice reading clinicians (graduate students in Reading Program) and the other group did not. There were 13 sessions of one hour each per week. The reading performance of students in the two groups was compared on the two available measures in the school, (1) letter grade and (2) STAR results (a computerized diagnostic reading assessment program). Observational and anecdotal …

The John Jay Papers: Re-Envisioning A 20th-Century Editorial Project For A 21st-Century Audience, Mary Jo Kline

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

John Jay's papers have had a far more tortured history than they deserve-and more than seemed their destiny at his death in 1829. Then it seemed likely that his career and contributions would be studied as carefully and enthusiastically as any other Founding Father's-certainly as closely as his friends John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. His family's archive had survived the Revolution in war-torn Westchester County and New York City. His personal papers had successfully crossed the Atlantic when he returned from diplomatic missions abroad in 1784 and 1795. Jay's will placed those papers in the custody of his devoted family, …

National Origin, Alienage, And Loyalty, Denton L. Watson

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

During World War II, Americans were consumed by fears over national security owing to the presence within our borders of a large alien population and citizens who were descendants of immigrants from countries that were then fighting against us. The Roosevelt administration's reaction to the hysteria over threats from "enemy aliens" are a sobering lesson for the nation, especially given the response of the Bush administration to similar post-September 11 fears. These have led the administration to take even more drastic steps, ostensibly to protect our national security in its fight against terrorism, that specifically target Arabs and Muslims. Although …

A "Value-Added" Resource The Law Practice Of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition, Marty L. Benner

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

When the editorial staff began designing The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition (LPAL) in 1991, we intended it to become an electronic version of a microfilm edition-images of documents accessible through an electronic finding aid. l As we refined our conception of what the edition should look like, and as technological capabilities exploded in the 1990s, we saw many opportunities to add value to the edition. The fact that it was electronic made many of these ideas possible and relatively inexpensive. By the time we published LPAL, we had created not only the typical introduction to the …

Efl Classroom Discourse, Reongrudee Soonthornmanee

PASAA

Research results in the past pointed out that second language (L2) learning would not simply extrapolate from first language (L1) acquisition or from general learning theories. Therefore, teachers need to understand ways students learn L2 as well as the nature of the classroom that leads to efficient and effective learning of instructional contents. The present study aimed to explore different types of discourses in an EFL classroom, occurring as a result of teacher-centered interactions in class. The data revealed that the teacher mainly asked questions and gave feedback to students' answers. That is, the interaction generated in the EFL classroom …

Getting Started: An Editor's Search For One Diarist's Place In History, Linda A. Fisher

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

My introduction to documentary editing differs from that of other scholarly editors. They are scholars who became editors; I am an editor who found a project in medical history. With an M.D. degree, I had written many articles on health issues and had edited a medical society journal.

In 1999, I began researching the manuscript of Joseph Mersman (1824-1892), an obscure man who was a whiskey rectifier. From 1847 to 1864, Mersman kept a diary and made entries in English, French, and German. His 300-page record, at the Missouri Historical Society, describes life in Cincinnati and St. Louis, including the …

Douglass Liaisons: The Female Correspondents Of Frederick Douglass, 1842-52, Leigh Fought

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

For the past twenty years, historians have recognized the role that '1' women played in the nineteenth-century abolitionist movement. Works by Gerda Lerner, Nancy Hewitt,jean Fagan Yellin, Clare Taylor, and Maria Diedrich, among others, have demonstrated that women spoke, organized, promoted, and wrote on behalf of the movement to end slavery. Yet, the published volumes of the Frederick Douglass Papers have obscured that fact. Although women supported and often saved Douglass throughout his career, their voices have been conspicuously absent from the seven volumes of the Douglass Papers. With the impending publication of the first correspondence volume, which covers the …

Autobiography By Proxy; Or, Pastiche As Prologue: Review Of Lincoln On Lincoln; Franklin On Franklin; Jefferson On Jefferson; Washington On Washington; Adams On Adams Edited By Paul M. Zall, James E. Guba

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Paul M. Zall, professor emeritus of English at California State University at Los Angeles and research scholar at the Huntington Library, has taken up Washington's invitation "to posterity to think & say what they please" by completing "autobiographies" left unfinished or never written by several preeminent Americans. He is perhaps best known as one of the editors, together with J. A. Leo Lemay, of the Center for Editions of American Authors' approved genetic text and subsequent critical edition of Franklin's Autobiography (Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 1981; New York: Norton, 1986). The prolific Dr. Zall has also built upon his …

Second Language Acquisition (Sla) And English Language Teaching (Elt), Saksit Saengboon

PASAA

In this paper, the author discusses second language acquisition (SLA) as it pertains to English language teaching (ELT) in the Thai context. First, he presents the definitions of SLA and ELT. Second, based on a review of selected SLA theories, he provides insights into a long-standing problem i.e. why a few Thais succeed and many fail in learning English. In doing so, he provides a characterization, of ELT in Thailand. He concludes the paper by suggesting trends in research and teaching vis-a-vis English language teaching in Thailand.

Cultural Representations And Reference In English Textbooks Used At Second In Thailand: A Quantitative Analysis, Tanja Greil

PASAA

This paper presents the results of a culture-oriented quantitative analysis of three series of English textbooks approved for use at secondary school level (Mathayom 4-6) by the Thai Ministry of Education— Snapshot 1-3, Speed Up to the World Outside 1-3, and Weaving It Together 1-3—all three textbook series being international editions not specifically designed and adapted for Thai learners of English. The focus of the analysis is on cultural representations and references in those books: What is the cultural orientation of the textbooks? And to what extent do reading and listening texts focus on either presenting the life-style and activities …

A Survey Of Writing Techniques, Authorship, Tenses, Voices, And Length Of Opening Sentences Of Medical Research Articles, Phan Banpho

PASAA

A large number of genre analyses have investigated schematic units or "moves" of many parts of medical research articles. The present analysis deals with the inner element of the first move, the introduction, section. It explore the techniques for writing opening sentences, and investigates authorship, tenses, voices, and sentence length. The subjects were 167 opening sentences from two world journals in medical science, the Annals of Internal Medicine and The Lancet, which represent American English and British English, respectively. A concordancing computer program. Microsoft Word, and the SPSS (v. 11.5) were used. The findings of this study suggest that most …

Idea Sharing: Teaching And Learning In A Thai University Classroom: Reflections On A Memorable Month, Sharon L. Pugh

PASAA

When. I was first invited to teach a short graduate course in. the Language and Communications Department at NIDA, I assumed that my subject would be one I had taught before, having to do with metaphor, narrative, or critical thinking. In fact, it involved all three but in an unexpected context, the topic of gender and communications. As a new academic area for me, this topic challenged me to consider my beliefs about knowledge and teaching, particularly when addressing a sensitive issue like gender in. a cultural setting that was different from my own. It also enabled me to learn …

Electronic English Excellence: Facilitating Educational Success For The Thai Learner In An International Environment, Jan Van Maele, An Schollen

PASAA

The objective of the Electronic English Excellence project (e-English Excellence) is increasing Asian students' English language skills before they start their studies at Group T, an engineering, educating, and enterprising institute of higher education, based in Leuven, Belgium. One part of the project revolves around the English Excellence website, a low-threshold, economical online learning environment, implemented in a collaborative effort between Group T and partner universities in Asia. The site takes students through four successive steps: self-assessment, assessment of actual proficiency through targeted language tests, feedback on self-assessment and test results, and finally, selective practice. This article describes the learner …

Idea Sharing: Tasks That Work In The Thai Classroom, Hilary Isaacs

PASAA

Having accumulated a wealth of EFL and ESP experience teaching in Europe for almost two decades, as well as experience of curriculum, course and exam design, implementation, and materials writing, it is perhaps not surprising that I considered myself fairly well prepared for teaching in Thailand when I arrived in the country two years ago. But how very wrong I was!
