PREFACE. All nations have been, and continue to be, abun- dantly supplied with new methods of acquiring foreign languages ; but, has any one -of these theories suc- ceeded to any extent in producing that speaking knowledge which is the first essential to mutual communication ? Tongue and language were synonymous, but the interpretation thereof has wofully perverted been ; since, among the thousands in this great city who have studied a foreign language, how many may there be capable of common conversation in the tongue which they considered as a necessary ap- pendage to a polite or commercial education ? Alas how few ! The author of this little work aims at nothing new ; has no magical method of imparting a whole language for 25 cents ; has no new theory to ad- vance ;—but wishes herein simply to demonstrate, that if a little child can learn to speak a language tnthout difficulty, much more easily may the same instinct matured by reason and experience, obtain (he same knowledge, in the same old-fashioned way, Trv it -, you cannot fail of success.

There are so many little bits of time, which, if devoted to study, would tend rather to relieve than annoy. The time that is disa- greeably wasted in waiting for others, for boats, stages, breakfast, dinner, tea, supper, etc., might be both profitably and pleasureably wiled away, by taking a small and interesting book from the coat pocket. Be- side this, there is the advantage of oftentimes meeting with those to whom you may refer in case of difficulty. The writer has learned more of foreign languages in this way, than he could have acquired in closeted hours u of deep and wearisome toil and study. Many mick» les make a muckle," says the Scotchman ; so say I s and so you will find, if you will follow the simple courae laid down for you. To speak a language, you must begin precisely as a child begins to speak its mother tongue. A child has uever been known to speak his first sentences correct- 6 ADVICE TO THE STUDENT ly but acquires his knowledge of language to the same way as he learns to run. He begins by jumping and springing in his mother's arms, then crawls, then toddles, cautious but resolute, from chair to chair, till after a few self-taught lessons in experimental philoso- phy, he can scamper, unguided and alone. So it is with his pronouncing organs ; he begins with mum, mum, and goes on exercising his tongue, etc., soon adopting a method of his own of regulating his accents to the sounds of others. But I never knew a child stop speaking, because he was afraid of making a mis- take ; if such were the case, this would indeed be a silent world. Don't be afraid ; you will soon be amused at the blunders you have made, and your con- stant progress will impart to you fresh courage. You will acquire a talkative knowledge of a language, by the same means as the child. The majority of those who study a foreign language seldom dream of making any use of it ; they dread the bare idea of speaking a word, but appear to be per- fectly satisfied with having taken so many quarter's lessons, translated from such and such books, and, they rest assured that the Spaniard and the Frenchman talk much faster than an American, and that they Bhall never talk French or Spanish at all. At the same time, they are determined, that when they can epeak tolerably \oell, they will begin ; like Paddy who had made up his mind uot to bathe, 'till he knew buv* ; ADVICE TO THE SXUDBNT I to swim They bar themselves from the only efficient mode of improvement, the habitual practice of speech rigiit or wrong. Your first effort will no doubt ex tract an occasional smile ; but foreigners, I must say, are far less inclined to ridicule, and far more ready to help out a tottering misconstructed sentence, than we are ; and are well pleased to assist the beginner. by politely giving him any assistance required. By avail ingyourselvesof opportunities and means, trifling in themselves, you may acquire a thorough knowledge of a language, without any expense, with scarcely any loss of time; at the same time forming useful and agreeable connections which you may find at all times ready and willing to serve you, merely because you can speak their language. I could give proofs numerous of this, but it would cost too much to print them. You will find more real friendship, and derive more advantage from a foreigner whose language you speak, than you can fairly expect from any other ac- quaintance. Never be afraid to speak, because you fear to ex- press your ideas rather awkwardly. Every time you give utterance to strange sounds, adds to your knowledge of pronunciation, and lessens your bash- fulness, by giving you increased confidence in your- §elf. Always keep some study book in your pocket you will find abundant opportunities for a few min- utes study which (without any sacrifice of time) will not fail to amuse and instruct vou. 8 ADVICE TO THE STVIENT. Decide firmly on devoting so many minutes pel day to study, be they ever so few ; always pronounce what you read ; thus, by accustoming yourself to the sounds, you will be better enabled to understand others. Read every sentence over and over, until you can pronounce as fast as the same amount of English. The daily learning of a little is peculiarly impor- tant in the study of a foreign language. A small fire needs constant feeding. Ten minutes per day, is one hour a week, and ten minutes study will cause an hour's reflection. One hour's study per week, a little every day, for one year, is often more than equal to six months lessons from a master. We always act with more decision, when we depend on ourselves rather than on the assistance of others. I do not mean to recommend my readers to study only one hour a week.

  • From the Editor
    From the Editor Dear E-mentor readers, We are thrilled to observe that our efforts to publish E-mentor journal in English has met such a great interest. That is the fourth edition of the jour- nal prepared and published within the scope of a grant funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. We do hope to be able to continue the project of issuing the international version of E-mentor in the following years as it has proved to be a success. In the current edition, one may distinguish two main directions of consid- eration. The first one refers to the role of information and communication technologies both in education and in business. The latter reflects the chal- lenges that the logistics industry faces nowadays due to the ‘disruptive’ role of IT. Sensors, robots, automation, cloud computing, data analysis, 3D print- ing, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, digital twins or blockchain technology are the examples of disruption mentioned by the author of the paper. Concerning the university, IT appears in the context of adaptive learning and its advantages analyzed by the team of the authors from the University of Central Florida and the Colorado Technical University, with Professor Charles Dziuban as a leader. IT is also present in the papers concerning foreign language learning by the use of videoconferences, instant messaging apps, and international collaboration tools. The concept of professional development through the online course is another example of using IT for academic purposes. Last but not least, is the proposal of an app aimed at eliminating the accessibility barriers, in this case – in Art education.

DESCRIPTORS *Curriculum Development; Elementary Secondary Education; *Fused Curriculum; *Integrated Curriculum; *Interdisciplinary Approach; Program Effectiveness; Unified Studies Curriculum ABSTRACT This document describes a variety of curriculum integration options ranging from concurrent teaching of related subjects to fusion of curriculum focus to residential study focusing on daily living; from 2-week units to year-long courses. Suggestions are offered for choosing proper criteria for successful curriculum integration, dealing with the attitudes of key individuals and groups; and establishing validity. A step-by-step approach to integration is presented, proceeding from selection of an organizing center to a scope and sequence of guiding questions to a matrix of activities for developing integrated units of study. A distinction is made between curriculum-content and metacurriculum--those learning skills helpful in acquiring the curriculum content being taught and in developing the capacity to think and learn independently. The book illuminates the value of higher-order thinking and learning skills and provides a vehicle for their integration into curriculum.

  • The Influence of Teacher Media Images on Professional Teacher Identities 1 Abstract
    The Influence of Teacher Media Images on Professional Teacher Identities Davina Kirby UCL, Institute of Education PhD 1 Declaration I, Davina Kirby confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Word count (exclusive of appendices and references) 91,567 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Gary McCulloch and Doctor Jon Swain who were extremely supportive PhD supervisors over the past six years and, of course, Mr Chips. 3 ABSTRACT This study is a life history exploration into teachers’ responses to representations of teachers in media (television, film and reality documentaries), and the influence media have on the construction of professional teacher identities including teachers’ relationships with their students as part of their daily practice. Few studies have been carried out from the perspective of British teachers using narrative research methods. This research uniquely addresses teachers’ reactions to the reality documentaries that have recently emerged based on teachers and schools, many of which have been located in the UK. The research was conducted in my own school, a girls’ comprehensive secondary school in London, with a mixed sixth form from 2012 to 2014. 17 teachers were interviewed in depth, twice each, concluding with 7 of them for focus group interviews. The research showed that teachers reflect on their professional identity using teacher images in media as a stimulus in their narratives. The research demonstrated evidence of teachers developing their narratives from the start to the end, and some sticking to scripted, although rich, narratives throughout the research.

I’d finally arrived at the end of the trail, in the last place I expected to find him—not deep in the wilderness he was said to haunt, but in the dim lobby of an old hotel on the edge of a dusty desert town.! “Sí, El Caballo está ,” the desk clerk said, nodding. Yes, the Horse is here. “For real?” After hearing that I’d just missed him so many times, in so many bizarre locations, I’d begun to suspect that Caballo Blanco was nothing more than a fairy tale, a local Loch Ness mons-truo dreamed up to spook the kids and fool gullible gringos. “He’s always back by five,” the clerk added. “It’s like a ritual.” I didn’t know whether to hug her in relief or high-five her in triumph. I checked my watch. That meant I’d actually lay eyes on the ghost in less than … hang on. “But it’s already after six.” The clerk shrugged. “Maybe he’s gone away.” I sagged into an ancient sofa. I was filthy, famished, and defeated. I was exhausted, and so were my leads. Some said Caballo Blanco was a fugitive; others heard he was a boxer who’d run off to punish himself after beating a man to death in the ring.
