  • A Comparative Study of Gender Representations in Philip Pullman's
    A Comparative Study of Gender Representations in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials and Its Chinese Translation by WING BO TSO A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham in part fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Centre for English Language Studies School of English, Drama and American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham November 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Its influence has created a great impact in the field of children’s literature. The purpose of this thesis is two-fold. Firstly, the thesis analyzes gender representations in Pullman’s trilogy in the context of how he rewrites female archetypes through the subversive re-inscription of Eve, the invention of daemons, the reinvention of ‘femme fatale’, and the new portrayal of Gypsy women. Secondly, the thesis aims at comparing and examining how gender representations in the source text are translated, transformed or / and manipulated in its Chinese translation.

Timeliness and value mark the mission of JLG: to be the librarian’s partner. But how can JLG help librarians be partners with classroom teachers? With JLG Guides. JLG Guides are activity and reading guides written by people with experience in both children’s and educational publishing—in fact, many of them are former librarians or teachers. The JLG Guides are made up of activity guides for younger readers (grades K–3) and reading guides for older readers (grades 4–12), with some overlap occurring in grades 3 and 4. All guides are written with national and state standards as guidelines. Activity guides focus on providing activities that support specific reading standards; reading guides support various standards (reading, language arts, social studies, science, etc.), depending on the genre and topic of the book itself. JLG Guides can be used both for whole class instruction and for individual students. Pages are reproducible for classroom use only, and a teacher’s edition accompanies most JLG Guides. Research indicates that using authentic literature in the classroom helps improve students’ interest level and reading skills.

    Contents Cover Acclaim for Joyland by Stephen King! Also by Stephen King Title Page Copyright Dedication Joyland Author’s Note Available now from Titan Books Acclaim for JOYLAND by STEPHEN KING! “Joyland is a small marvel of a book, a novel of loss and heartbreak, of growth and discovery…a bittersweet paean to lost love, lost time, and lost youth…it stands with such shorter King masterpieces as The Body and Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption as one of the writer’s finest works, a highlight in a career that has had so many.” —National Post “[An] elegiac novel of mystery and imagination…Joyland presents itself as a hair-raising thriller (which indeed it is), but it is as much a bittersweet romance, a tribute to older times and sounder values, a celebration of family and friends and love and the wonder of existence.” —Wall Street Journal “The book [offers] an unexpected perspective…a neat trick to pull off in a thriller, and Joyland is definitely a thriller.” —Los Angeles Times “Some of King’s most graceful writing…ruminative, amused, digressive, marvelously unaffected, and finally, devastatingly sad.” —Entertainment Weekly “The book delivers chills [and] a mournful sense of life’s fragility…good fun.” —New York Times “A moving, immensely appealing coming-of-age tale… the real strength of Joyland stems from King’s ability to connect with his characters directly and viscerally. It’s that emotional bond that marks the difference between books that merely entertain and books that matter in a fundamental way.” —Washington Post “At its heart,

  • André Rieu in Wonderland
    André Rieu in Wonderland A walk through the amusement park "Efteling" where this DVD was recorded. Version 1.4, Jun 2011 The Wonderland walk. Page 1 of 34 Introduction In the summer of 2007, André Rieu and the JSO recorded the DVD “Wonderland” in the fairytale park “Efteling” in The Netherlands. From several people we received requests for more information on this park. In this document we provide some useful information (how to get there, opening times, etc.) and a "Wonderland walk" through the park, passing by many places you will see in the “Wonderland” DVD. History of the “Efteling” Ask any Dutch person above the age of 40 about the “Efteling”. Ten to one they all give you the same answers: “the flying carpet”, “dancing red shoes”, “musical mushrooms”, the “trains” and “Long Neck”, to name a few. Below a picture of my brother and I in one of the little trains. I was about eight years old at that time (±1963). The other picture was taken recently (April 2008). I don’t know why, but it looks like those trains have shrunk quite a lot, but you still have to peddle like a madman to get around the track in a record time. And still no brakes, but good bumpers. But most important: all those popular attractions from the early days of the park are still there and in high demand! The history of the Efteling goes back to 1933, when a few people had an idea to start a sports park with a soccer field and a small playground.

  • An Analysis of the Reading Strategies Used by Deaf and Hearing Adults: Similarities and Differences in Phonological Processing and Metacognition
    An Analysis of the Reading Strategies Used by Deaf and Hearing Adults: Similarities and Differences in Phonological Processing and Metacognition Julia A. Silvestri Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Julia A. Silvestri All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT An Analysis of the Reading Strategies Used by Deaf and Hearing Adults: Similarities and Differences in Phonological Processing and Metacognition Julia A. Silvestri This study is a mixed methods analysis of reading processes and language experiences of deaf and hearing readers. The sample includes four groups each with fifteen adults—identified as: deaf/high-achieving readers, deaf/struggling/non-academic readers, hearing/high-achieving readers, and hearing/non-academic readers. The purpose of this study is to identify factors related to reading achievement and to explore themes that emerge in the language experience and reading behaviors. The quantitative measures of the study are: a background demographics form, reading comprehension assessment, phonological skills assessment, metacognition assessment and think-aloud discussion with a reading strategy checklist where readers are guided through the process of decoding and interpreting the scene from a play. Scores from the reading comprehension assessment are correlated with other assessments and demographic statistics to identify factors of achievement. Similarities and differences between groups of readers are tested with one-way ANOVAs to identify mean differences in scores according to achievement level (skilled/struggling) and hearing status (deaf/hearing). Qualitative data are measured by collecting, reviewing and identifying shared themes in the transcripts of reading background interview and think-aloud discussions (open coding), relating codes and categories (axial coding), and determining a central theme (selective category).
