  • A Pattern Language for Teaching in a Foreign Language - Part 2
    A Pattern Language for Teaching in a Foreign Language - Part 2 Christian K¨oppe and Mari¨elle Nijsten Hogeschool Utrecht, Institute for Information & Communication Technology, Postbus 182, 3500 AD Utrecht, Netherlands {christian.koppe,marielle.nijsten}@hu.nl http://www.hu.nl Abstract. Teaching a technical subject in a foreign language is not just switching to the foreign language. There are specific problems related to the integration of content and learn- ing. This paper is part of ongoing work with mining of patterns which address these problems and intends to offer practical help to teachers by working towards a pattern language for technical instructors who teach students in a second language, and who are not trained in language pedagogy. This is the pre-conference version for the PLoP'12 conference. Note to workshop participants: for the PLoP 2012 conference we would like to focus on following patterns: Content-Compatible Language, Commented Action, and Language Monitor. We also would like to work on the list of related educational patterns. However, feedback on the other patterns is more than welcome, they are therefore all included in this workshop version of the paper. 1 Introduction The set of patterns introduced in this paper is aimed at instructors who occasionally want | or have | to teach a class in a foreign language instead of their mother tongue. The patterns are meant to support these instructors in preparing for these classes in such a way that a foreign language will not be a barrier to students' understanding of the course content. This set of patterns is part of a larger project for developing a pattern language for teaching in a foreign language.

  • Aurora Tsai's Review of the Diagnosis of Reading in a Second Or Foreign
    Reading in a Foreign Language April 2015, Volume 27, No. 1 ISSN 1539-0578 pp. 117–121 Reviewed work: The Diagnosis of Reading in a Second or Foreign Language. (2015). Alderson, C., Haapakangas, E., Huhta, A., Nieminen, L., & Ullakonoja, R. New York and London: Routledge. Pp. 265. ISBN 978-0-415-66290-1 (paperback). $49.95 Reviewed by Aurora Tsai Carnegie Mellon University United States http://www.amazon.com In The Diagnosis of Reading in a Second or Foreign Language, Charles Alderson, Eeva-Leena Haapakangas, Ari Huhta, Lea Nieminen, and Riikka Ullakonoja discuss prominent theories concerning the diagnosis of reading in a second or foreign language (SFL). Until now, the area of diagnosis in SFL reading has received little attention, despite its increasing importance as the number of second language learners continues to grow across the world. As the authors point out, researchers have not yet established a theory of how SFL diagnosis works, which makes it difficult to establish reliable procedures for accurately diagnosing and helping students in need. In this important contribution to reading and diagnostic research, Alderson et al. illustrate the challenges involved in carrying out diagnostic procedures, conceptualize a theory of diagnosis, provide an overview of SFL reading, and highlight important factors to consider in diagnostic assessment. Moreover, they provide detailed examples of tests developed specifically for diagnosis, most of which arise from their most current research projects. Because this book covers a wide variety of SFL reading and diagnostic topics, researchers in applied linguistics, second language acquisition, language assessment, education, and even governmental organizations or military departments would consider it an enormously helpful and enlightening resource on SFL reading.

  • The Correlation Between Self- Assessment Reports and CEFR Levels According to Standardized Assessment
    The Correlation between Self- Assessment Reports and CEFR Levels according to Standardized Assessment The DIALANG Vocabulary Test and the Cambridge General English Online Test in relation to two Self-Assessment Procedures: Likert Scale Ratings and the Employment of CEFR Descriptors Master’s Thesis – MA Linguistics: Language and Communication Coaching Radboud University, Nijmegen Student: Laura Buuts Student Number: 4423194 Date of Submission: 21-06-2020 Supervisor: J. Klatter-Folmer Second Reader: E. Krikhaar ABSTRACT This thesis concerns an investigation into the correlation between self-assessment reports regarding vocabulary knowledge and actual levels of vocabulary knowledge according to two standardized assessments. The experiment in this study was conducted by means of a questionnaire consisting of a language testing component and a self-assessment component. The participants in this study are speakers of Dutch as a native language. With the help of regression analyses, it has been shown that the result of this study is that the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) levels of vocabulary knowledge according to both the DIALANG Vocabulary Test and the Cambridge General English Online Test correlate with the estimated levels of the self-assessment component. There are differences in the correlation coefficients of both tests and the self-assessment components. Unfortunately, the sample size impeded the confirmation of demographic discrepancies, such as gender, educational background, and use of English in daily life and in the workplace or educational context. Nonetheless, the fact that in general the language testing component correlates with the self- assessment component indicates that in terms of vocabulary, participants are generally able to predict their language skills.

Cartert Scott Lunttt ABSTRACT With the relative democratization of broadcast communication brought about by the new media technologies of podcasting and Internet broadcasting, new questions have arisen regarding appropriate legal standards for regulatory efforts. In particular, Internet broadcasters and podcasters collide with licensing agencies responsible for implementing U.S. and foreign copyright law. Media convergence has caused confusion amongst policymakers, industry professionals and the public with respect to the application of traditional copyright law to these new technologies.

  • The New Aural Actuality: an Exploration of Music, Sound And
    THE NEW AURAL ACTUALITY: AN EXPLORATION OF MUSIC, SOUND AND MEANING IN THE COMPOSED FEATURE DOCUMENTARY PODCAST by Benjamin Richard Phillip Horner Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2019 Abstract This practice-led thesis explores the creative techniques and philosophies used in composing feature documentary podcasts and how listeners engage with the material and make meaning from it. Podcasting as a medium presents a new and so far unexplored way of interfacing with audio documentary and this study works to demonstrate crucial differences from radio practice in terms of intention and expression, how material is made, consideration for its audience, and how its programmes are distributed. Using post-structural theory, specifically Deleuze and Guattari’s ideas on interconnected networks of affective transmission, podcasting’s relationship to radio is explored, as is how listeners make meaning through their interaction with both the heard material and the devices upon which it is accessed. These theories are then applied to the characteristically open remit of the audio documentary to study how speech, music, sound and silence may be understood to generate meaning, emotion and a sense of immersion in the listener. It is suggested that modes of programme access, listening customs, and interpretational symbolism work together to impart information vital to the ability to connote and denote what is being heard, and that in this way the composed feature can be situated very closely to musical practice and engagement. Taking cues from musical and cinematic analytical practice three podcast programmes are closely scrutinised for an understanding of their constituent material, structural shape, and potential affective transmissions, before interviews with their producers are presented to discuss conceptual intentions and execution.

  • Evaluation, Testing and Assessment
    Case Study 4 – Evaluation, testing and assessment “May I help you, madam?” – English for office communication in an adult education centre The use of current evaluation, assessment and testing instruments in a VOLL course Anthony Fitzpatrick with Inge-Anna Koleff, Wiener Volkshochschulen, Austria, and Manfred Thönicke, Hamburger Institut für Berufliche Bildung – HIBB, Germany 1. Introduction Within the context of the February 2009 workshop, a sub-group dealt with evaluation, assessment and testing, basing its work on some of the tools referred to and made available by the animator. The group took as its point of departure the situation of one of the workshop participants, who was in the process of setting up a (VOLL) English language course for employees in her organisation. The group members explored the different assessment systems available to decide on their potential for language testing and assessment procedures for the envisaged target group. They then set up a step-by-step system for evaluating the proficiency of course participants from entry level to achievement of course objectives. By documenting the steps taken, they hope to give colleagues working in VOLL a practical introduction to available tools which they found useful for testing, assessment and evaluation, and guidelines as to how and when to deploy those tools. 2. The setting The language department of the Viennese Adult Education Association (Wiener Volkshochschulen) had decided to set up and offer a new English course for employees in the administration of its 16+ member institutes throughout the city. The course was to address the needs of those operatives, all native speakers of German, who had contact with potential learners/customers in face-to-face or telephone settings.

    Intro to Podcasting Lisa Spiro, Carlos Solis & Jeff Frey Teaching with Technology Brown Bag Rice University November 15, 2006 Defining “podcast” A portmanteau combining: “Pod”: iPod—portable device for presenting media (though podcasting is not specific to the iPod—the term is just inspired by it) “cast”: to disseminate "a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player" (New Oxford American Dictionary—word of the year 2005) 1 Podcast Ingredients Multimedia (typically MP3) file + RSS feed + Server = PODCAST (You’ll also need a computer to which you can download the podcast and a portable player so you can listen on the go.) Types of podcast Audio only podcast - Uses mp3 files, so works on any mp3 player. Enhanced podcast - Audio + images, like a slide show. Only viewable on a computer with iTunes or later versions of iPods are able to play it. M4a file format. E.g. Museum of Houston Video podcast - Comes with a video & audio stream. Only computer or iPod with video can play it. Its file format is m4v. E.g.
