English Language Proficiency Assessments for Young Learners

Autor: Mikyung Kim Wolf , Yuko Goto Butler

Número de Páginas: 295

English Language Proficiency Assessments for Young Learners provides both theoretical and empirical information about assessing the English language proficiency of young learners. Using large-scale standardized English language proficiency assessments developed for international or U.S. contexts as concrete examples, this volume illustrates rigorous processes of developing and validating assessments with considerations of young learners’ unique characteristics. In this volume, young learners are defined as school-age children from approximately 5 to 13 years old, learning English as a foreign language (EFL) or a second language (ESL). This volume also discusses innovative ways to assess young learners’ English language abilities based on empirical studies, with each chapter offering stimulating ideas for future research and development work to improve English language assessment practices with young learners. English Language Proficiency Assessments for Young Learners is a useful resource for students, test developers, educators, and researchers in the area of language testing and assessment.

Multilingual Learning

Autor: Colin Reilly , Feliciano Chimbutane , John Clegg , Casmir Rubagumya , Elizabeth J. Erling

Número de Páginas: 320

This edited volume provides the follow up to Erling et al.’s (2021) Multilingual Learning and Language Supportive Pedagogies in Sub-Saharan Africa. The strategies put forward in Volume 1 included multilingual pedagogies that allow students to draw on their full linguistic repertoires, translanguaging and other language supportive pedagogies. While there is great traction in the pedagogical strategies proposed in Volume 1, limited progress has been made in terms of multilingual education in SSA. Thus, the main focus of this follow-up volume is to explore the question of why former colonial languages and monolingual approaches continue to be used as the dominant languages of education, even when we have multilingual pedagogies and materials that could and do work and despite substantial evidence that learners have difficulties when taught in a language they do not understand. This book offers perspectives to answer this question through focusing on the internal and external pressures which impact the capacity for implementing multilingual strategies in educational contexts at regional, national, and community levels. Chapters provide insights into how to better understand and work ...

Teaching Science to English Language Learners

Autor: Luciana C. De Oliveira , Kristen Campbell Wilcox

Número de Páginas: 252

This edited collection explores how science can be taught to English language learners (ELLs) in 21st century classrooms. The authors focus on the ways in which pre-service and in-service science teachers have developed—or may develop—instructional effectiveness for working with ELLs in the secondary classroom. Chapter topics are grounded in both research and practice, addressing a range of timely topics including the current state of ELL education in the secondary science classroom, approaches to leveraging the talents and strengths of bilingual students in heterogeneous classrooms, best practices in teaching science to multilingual students, and ways to infuse the secondary science teacher preparation curriculum with ELL pedagogy. This book will appeal to an audience beyond secondary content area teachers and teacher educators to all teachers of ELLs, teacher educators and researchers of language acquisition more broadly.

The Language Demands of School

Autor: Alison L. Bailey

Número de Páginas: 248

The Language Demands of School is an edited volume describing an extensive empirical base for academic English testing, instruction and professional development. The chapters comprise empirical research by Bailey and colleagues at the National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, Student Testing (CRESST) at UCLA, and invited contributions by practitioners in the fields of language policy, testing and instruction. The central focus of the chapters is the research conducted by CRESST over the last two years in an attempt to document the academic English language demands placed on school-age learners of English. The three additional chapters give the perspectives of a policy-maker at the state level, test developers, and practitioners. The Language Demands of School fills a gap in the current literature by addressing the kind(s) of English required of K-12 English Learner students from an evidence-based perspective. This is timely given the broader context of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which has prompted school systems to identify English language proficiency tests to meet the federal mandate. One of the problems that has surfaced in the search for English...

Tratado de ultrasonografía abdominal

Autor: Asociación Española De Ecografía Digestiva

Número de Páginas: 716

Desde el año 1986, la Comisión de la Especialidad de Aparato Digestivo de nuestro país, a instancias de la Asociación Española de Ecografía Digestiva(AEED) estableció la obligatoriedad de la ecografía en el programa de formación del residente de Aparato Digestivo. Aunque no está concretado el tiempo necesario de rotación por la Unidad de Ecografía, parece evidente que al ser una técnica muy explorador dependiente, con una curva de aprendizaje relativamente lenta, este tiempo no debería ser inferior a los seis meses. La importancia de una buena formación ecográfica es fundamental para el gastroenterólogo. La disponibilidad y fiabilidad que implica el que el mismo especialista de aparato digestivo realice la exploración ecográfica de sus enfermos cuyos síntomas conoce en detalle, ofrece una capacidad diagnóstica probablemente superior a la que pueda ofrecer otro profesional que lógicamente no tiene los mismos conocimientos clínicos de nuestra especialidad. La elaboración de este Tratado surgió de esta necesidad de formación y actualización ecográfica, que constituye la esencia y el sentido de existir de la AEED y de la conciencia clara de que no existía...

Alexander Dallas Bache

Autor: Merle M. Odgers

Número de Páginas: 236

This is the biography of a man who made his greatest contribution to science in his reorganization of the U.S. Coast Survey. Alexander Dallas Bache was appointed superintendent in 1843, and the Survey increased its scope and improved its methods in the study of winds, tides, currents, and harbors under his charge Grandson of Benjamin Franklin, Bache was also active in education. Elected first president of Girard College when he was thirty, he visited European educational institutions in order to study their methods. And it may well be that, because of the admiration felt for his great ancestor, he was received in Europe with more attention than even his scholarship and personality merited. His survey of European educational institutions resulted in his monumental "Report on Education in Europe," which exerted a profound influence on educational methods in the United States. At heart, however, Bache was primarily a scientist and he became a significant figure in the development of American scientific institutions in general, and of Philadelphia in particular. An indefatigable worker, he also served as Superintendent of Weights and Measures in the United States, as a member of the...

La libertad que nos queda

Autor: Luz Adriana López Velásquez

Número de Páginas: 330

¿Dónde estamos? ¿Qué estamos haciendo? ¿Cuál es la libertad que nos queda? ¿Quién o qué define nuestra condición de libertad: la historia personal o colectiva, la política, la ley? ¿Estamos condicionados a repetir de modo interminable nuestros desaciertos? ¿Estamos signados por la suerte, la fortuna o el destino? Este libro aborda estas preguntas, profundizándolas. Examinamos la relación entre dos argumentos filosóficos, aparentemente contradictorios: el determinismo y la libertad. En la primera parte, la disertación posee una prevalencia filosófica: con Hannah Arendt construimos una reflexión en torno al pensamiento, la acción y la libertad; con Jacques Rancière configuramos el giro estético de la ética y de la política. En la segunda parte, entregamos un análisis poético de la Serie Conde de Leonardo Padura, a través de la cual ponemos en juego los argumentos analizados antes. El hilo conductor es la experiencia de una mujer que lee y escribe tejiendo —en un acto performativo— la evidencia libertaria de ser y estar en este mundo. En nuestro mundo. Estamos heridos. Las heridas nos exigen pausa para sanar mientras resignificamos la experiencia. La...

ChileNazi

Autor: Carlos Basso Prieto

Número de Páginas: 200

Chile ha tenido una larga historia de partidos, grupos y movimientos inspirados en el totalitarismo nazi. El mundo ha visto un resurgir de las ideologías totalitarias. Y mientras algunos creen que no hay que darle importancia a los grupos de inspiración fascista, otros sostienen que no debe cometerse el error de subestimar su existencia. Aunque una de las principales características de los nazis es renegar de su esencia como tales e incluso, hoy en día, tratar de endosar a otros su ideología, la doctrina nacionalsocialista en Chile tiene al menos 116 años de existencia. Esta larga relación de nuestro país con las ideas ultranacionalista, racistas y sus brotes de violencia están consignadas en varias páginas de nuestra historia. Sus seguidores y militantes están involucrados en actos criminales incluso ya a principios del siglo pasado. Desde peleas callejeras a intentos de golpe de Estado, pasando por bombazos, «barridas» y crímenes de odio, la figuración constante de simpatizantes y adeptos al neonazismo en nuestro país, hacen necesario revisar y estudiar su constante presencia en la vida política.

López Bravo

Autor: Gabriel Pérez Gómez

Número de Páginas: 369

Gregorio López Bravo se defnía a sí mismo como «liberal reprimido» mientras formaba parte del Gobierno de Franco como ministro de Industria y luego de Asuntos Exteriores. Sin participar de la ideología falangista dominante, supo ganarse a Franco con una política realista, que fue sacando a España de su régimen autocrático y le abrió las puertas a un mundo que le había dado la espalda. Llegó hasta donde pudo, en una nación aún no democrática. Bajo su mandato se establecieron relaciones diplomáticas con algunos países del Este y con China, y esa audacia provocó su caída al llegar Carrero Blanco a la Presidencia del Gobierno. Gibraltar, el Tratado de Amistad y Cooperación con los EE. UU., el tratado preferencial con la CEE, las relaciones Iglesia-Estado, el mundo árabe... son algunos de los momentos importantes de este ingeniero naval, padre de nueve hijos, fallecido en un trágico accidente de aviación.
