Mr. , Mrs. , Miss, and Ms.

大家都知道在英语中M r.,M rs.,和M iss的意思。M r.用在男子名字前,M rs.用在已婚女子名字前,M iss用在单身女子名字前。但是M s.到底是什么意思呢?当你不知道某女子是否已经结婚时,人们则在女子姓名前加上M s.。有些妇女声称M r.没有表明男子是否已经结婚。这是男子的优势。他们想要在这一点上和男子平等。于是,他们喜欢M s.这个单词。这些妇女认为他们婚否对于别人来说不是一件重要的事情。Y ou all know them eaning of M r.,M rs.,and M iss.M r.is used be-fore the nam e of m en.M rs.is for m arried wom-en and M iss is f…

This book aims at teachers who are interested in learning how to implement blended learning in their classes and therefore gain insights into the variables involved and the benefits it may bring to learning. It briefly introduces the topic and then describes practical experiences whose findings may be useful for addressing the challenges of blended learning. If the content of this book is likely to be relevant to you, I advise that you will probably find only parts of interest or use. Cristina Oddone     

Platonic & Freirean Interpretations of W. E. B. Du Bois's, “Of The Coming of John”

In the current Neoliberal climate of educational reform, the enlightenment project in education is more susceptible than ever to the machinations of historical amnesia. The notion that education can be transformative in a positive sense represents a moral ideal that teachers in the foundations of education find increasingly difficult to integrate into their pedagogies. As an antidote to this cultural forgetting, the article makes the case that W. E. B. Du Bois's lone fictionalized chapter in The Souls of Black Folk, “Of the Coming of John,” can be used in classrooms to reinvigorate students’ thinking not only about the enlightenment project in education in a general sense, but more specifically, about the paradoxical and tragic dimensions that accompany this project and tradition. I argue that Du Bois's bildungsroman, or coming-of-age story, can be most fruitfully interpreted when read alongside Plato's “turning around of the soul” (periagoge) and Paulo Freire's concept conscientization. When these 3 enlightenment-oriented narratives are studied in concert, they have an enormous potential to help cultivate the moral, political, and aesthetic sensibilities of our students as they construct their vocational identity as teachers in relation to the enlightenment project in education.

Target readers based in the US who are interested in current developments in higher education institutional procedures there will find this source clear and well informed. If such content is likely to be relevant to you, I recommend that you arrange to borrow a copy for a while. Possible readers in Europe and Australasia who are attracted by the title will find the text parochialand worryingly lacking in awareness of developments outside the US. Also, it is more concerned with assessment of learning, than with assessment for learning. If you are not based in the US, I would not advise you to purchase or borrow. John Cowan

Biological explanation,political ideology,and “blurred genres”;: A Bakhtinian reading of the science essays of J. B. S. Haldane

J. B. S. Haldane, in attempting to show connections between Marxist political theory and Darwinian evolutionary theory, blurs the generic characteristics of political and scientific discourse. Read from the perspective of Bakhtin, this blurring of genres is also a blurring of ideologies. Haldane's essays thus contribute to our understanding of the cultural dimensions of scientific activities and accordingly help re‐define concepts of genre in scientific writing.
