Many thanks and much appreciation to Michael Fields, as the longtime editor of Compleat Links rotates off the team. We also bid farewell and thanks to Hanizah Zainuddin as she steps down as editor of Portal. Taking over as editor of Compleat Links is Maria Coady, from the University of Florida in Gainesville. And our new Portal editor is Susanne Lapp, from Florida Atlantic Uni- versity. We all extend a warm welcome to Maria and Susanne and look forward to working with them on exciting projects for upcoming issues. This issue of Essential Teacher offers a panoply of thoughts for English language teachers to reflect on and instructional strategies that enable English language learners (ELLs) to make gains in learning through reading, technology, and class- room interaction. • Communities of Practice: Judie Haynes offers research-based strategies for engaging ELLs in productive learning along with their native-English-speaking peers. Linda New Levine reflects on the learning brought about by her professional collaboration with another teacher who had similar goals for her ESL students. Debbie Zacarian illustrates how one teacher successfully infused her social studies curriculum with language objectives aligned with seven language func- tions in order to benefit ELLs. Ke Xu continues to share his memorable, often extraordinary experiences as an EFL pro- fessional in Jiangsu Province, China. Alvino Fantini further discusses the development of students’ intercultural compe- tence (ICC) by offering directions on appropriate assessments of ICC. Dorothy Zemach’s upbeat and insightful column motivates readers to attend the upcoming TESOL Convention in Denver, Colorado, March 25–28, 2009. • Out of the Box: Okon Effiong reveals the creative techniques that he used to increase positive classroom interaction and cooperation among coed university EFL students. Sulaiman Jenkins discusses the need for teachers of English as an international language to take an intercultural approach to teaching, one that is nonthreatening to students’ cultural beliefs and sensitive to their learning. Paula Korsko shares the remarkable effect of instructional scaffolding, which took shape as she modified and sought students’ feedback on learning tasks related to reading a novel in English. Ronaldo Lima Jr. writes about the qualities and competencies of excellent teachers and asks us to reflect on what excellence in teaching means to each of us. • Portal: Caroline Linse offers invaluable information for educators who are trying to differentiate language difficulties from potential learning disabilities in their ESL students. Patrick Ng Chin Leong talks about the effects of combining a problem-based approach with readers theatre in an EFL setting. Martin Sankofi illustrates the potential of using Web 2.0 tools to create an exciting and interactive learning environment for ESL students. Dorit Sasson shares her recommenda- tions for improving reading fluency for struggling ELLs. • References & Resources: Jose Carmona presents an overview of Creating Meaning, with its selection of authentic read- ings and extension activities suitable for intensive English classes. Susan Kelly’s review of the PBS documentary Frontier House offers ideas on incorporating the show into the study of U.S. culture with upper-intermediate- and advanced-level ELLs. Vanessa Caceres reports on From Home to School 1, a book used in family literacy classes to counter the overwhelm- ing issues that adult second language students face. Taniea Engel reviews Weaving It Together, a book devoted to an inte- grative approach to reading and writing for intermediate-level

  • Two Days in Palestine,’ Was Written in April 1989, Soon After a Brief Trip to the Occupied Territories with Some Colleagues
    Note The following essay, ‘Two Days in Palestine,’ was written in April 1989, soon after a brief trip to the occupied territories with some colleagues. It was published in two parts in the August 1989 (pp. 11–18) and September 1989 (pp. 21–27, 36) issues of The Message International (New York), the monthly magazine published by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA). The editors, in their wisdom, changed the title to ‘In the Eye of the Intifada, A Muslim’s Journey to the Land of Oppression;’ they also added pictures and inserts of their own. Here is the original text, with some minor corrections. The first Intifada began in December 1987 and is generally considered to have continued till the signing of the Oslo Accords in September 1993. During that time Israeli security forces killed 1070 Palestinians in the Occupied Territories (including East Jerusalem), including 237 minors; in addition 54 Palestinians, including 13 minors were killed by Israeli civilians. The Israeli casualties at the hands of the Palestinians during the same time were 47 civilians, including 3 minors, and 43 army personnel. (Source: B'tSelem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories. <<http://www.btselem.org/english/statistics/first_Intifada_ Tables.asp>> as viewed on 10 April 2009.)

Specifically, it examines how each group perceives differences in language teaching methods and language learning environment between their native communities and the United States during the language learning process. The study also seeks an answer about how those differences influence the nature and pace of their linguistic development of each group. Both Chinese and Saudi speaking students have quite distinctive learner characteristics, and this research will delve into how their experiences and perceptions compare in regards to their English Education.

  • “We're Going to Make the Rolling Stones Look Like Choirboys.”
    “We’re going to make The Rolling Stones look like choirboys.” Alice Cooper lice Cooper still looks like a witch: long, raggedy arms, a thatch of crow-feather hair and a large Captain Hook beaked nose. Even without his kohl eye make-up, his grey-blueA eyes wink out just like they did on his million-selling ’70s album covers. His face is creased and his skin is a little looser, but Alice doesn’t look that different from how he did when he was a threat to American decency. He’s tremendously easy company – warm, gracious and happy to retell well-worn stories, and laughing while he does. You can imagine him holding court with The Hollywood Vampires (his 1970s fraternity of terrifyingly hard-drinking musicians that included Keith Moon, Harry Nilsson and John Lennon), and you can see why celebrities like Johnny Depp regard him as a close friend. Smart and slightly self-effacing, he’s also surprisingly similar to his cameo in Wayne’s World, where he played the dignified elder statesman of rock lecturing his stunned fans with expert detail about the pre-settle- ment history of America. Vincent Damon Furnier may be a sophisticated and sober sixty-eight-year-old, golf-obsessed Republican, but he speaks with real fondness about Alice, often referring to him in the third person. Hearing about the height of his fame (and let’s not forget he was face-on-a-lunchbox, TV-holiday-special, Marvel-comic-about- your-exploits famous), it’s obvious he relishes the controversy he caused, but he never set out to corrupt anyone – only to entertain them.

As we pondered this we were fortunate to be able to share our thoughts with longstanding colleagues in the EYE Film Institute Netherlands in Amsterdam, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum, VU University, Amsterdam and the University of Applied Arts, Vienna. Over time we became convinced that the similarities were not coincidental and needed some serious thought. With a substantial grant from the Humanities in the European Area Fund (HERA) we were able to lead a team of around ten researchers from across the EU to look at just this from a number of perspectives.
