Flarr Pages #11: Spanish: Teaching The "Musical Preterite", Tom Washington

FLARR Pages

If you were given the choice of learning 23 words or 95 words--and you knew that you would acquire the same amount of knowledge either way, which would you choose? That is the positive option that the "musical preterite" offers in teaching the simple past.

Flarr Pages #10: Reading And Writing, Andre Lebugle

FLARR Pages

During the first four or five months, language students learn a limited number of words and structures, which allows them to write on equally limited subjects, usually personal, such as: "Describe yourself, your friends and relatives, your room, your clothes, your weekly activities, etc. What do you buy when you go to the stores? Imagine a dialogue between two characters, etc." This type of composition is fine during that beginning period, but beyond, it loses its usefulness, for the learners tend to recycle the same ideas, phrases and constructions which they have been using since chapter two. Little improvement or …

Flarr Pages #9: Teaching Preterite Vs. Imperfect In Spanish, Debra Maury

FLARR Pages

While textbooks have approached the troublesome practice of teaching the preterite and imperfect in a variety of ways, I have found that those that insist on a "Spanish-only" approach, working strictly in the target language, simply do not deliver the best results when it comes to student comprehension of the past tenses. A concept that does not exist in one's own native language (assuming here that it is English) can not be explained using the foreign language. The difference between preterite and imperfect seems to be one of the most difficult cases which is not best served by the modeling …

Flarr Pages #13: Web Pages As Teaching Tools, I, Lourdes T. Tolosa

FLARR Pages

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a mysterious realm for many of us. However, every day, educators as well as students are presented with learning opportunities that can only be found using technology. Each minute, we become more aware of the possibilities that we have if we know how to use the web and how to work with it.

Reclaiming Hope: Teacher Education And Social Justice In The Age Of Globalization, Peter Mclaren, Gustavo Fischman

Education Faculty Articles and Research

"Our overarching position is unashamedly and avowedly criticalist: we believe that unless teacher education locates the pedagogical education of future teachers within the context of an examination of the current glorification of global corporatism and the capitalist economy's ability for self-valorization, teacher education will remain delinked from necessary and urgent political conversations and practices."

Publications from Student Life & Spiritual Life

This reflection attempts to examine the dilemmas, struggles and hurdles that mature, Christian graduate students face when they cross cultural boundaries in order to live and study in a North American setting.

One First Grade Teacher's Experience With A Literature-Based Reading Series: A Look At Her First Year, Jennifer L. Altieri

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The purpose of this study was to examine a first-grade, rural school teacher's use of a newly adopted literature-based reading series. The goal was not only to see how she used the materials but to also examine any struggles she experienced during her first year with a literature-based series. The participant/observer spent one day a week for an entire school year observing the teacher's reading class and interviewing the teacher at regular intervals. It was apparent in the interviews that this teacher had a positive attitude toward many aspects of the new series and believed that she had changed her …

Using Narrative Picture Books To Build Awareness Of Expository Text Structure, Mary C. Mcmackin

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

For many students, reading in the content areas presents quite a challenge. The transition from an emphasis on narrative texts in the lower grades to expository texts in the upper grades is not always easy. This article describes a system I use for introducing expository text structure through the use of narrative picture books. My goal is to develop an understanding of expository text structure with simple texts so that students will be able to transfer these understandings to more cognitively dense content area materials.
