THE ROLE OF SELF-ACCESS IN LANGUAGE LEARNING

For English language learners who are in the college level, learning knowledge and skills from the teachers, the course books and the classroom activities can not 100 percent satisfy their individual needs or meet their various learning styles. In order to compensate this limit, they need to do self-access after class. In this paper, I will describe the relative background knowledge first and then try to illustrate the role of self-access in one＇s language learning process. Finally I will try to discuss the ways of making self-access more useful and feasible in students＂ practical study. The purpose of the present essay is to emphasize the important part self-access plays in ELT.

THE USE OF THE STORY IN THE PROMOTION OF WORSHIP

This article consists of remarks made during a panel at the 2017 annual meeting of the Religious Education Association in St. Louis, MO. From his vantage point as a former law enforcement agent, the author explores issues of ethical dilemmas present in policing; the current situation of militarized police forces; community policing and its origins; and the shooting of a Black young adult, Michael Brown, by a White police officer in Ferguson, MO. Religious educators, clergy, and ethicists can take a hands-on role to encourage justice in policing by discouraging an us/them mentality and advocating for community policing.

CLASSROOMS AND CULTURE: THE ROLE OF CONTEXT IN SHAPING MOTIVATION AND IDENTITY FOR SCIENCE LEARNING IN INDIGENOUS ADOLESCENTS

Many rural indigenous communities rely on science knowledge and innovation for survival and economic advancement, which requires community members to be motivated for learning science. Children in these communities have been viewed by some as unmotivated due to their low science achievement as they progress in school, particularly into majority secondary schools. Current theories of motivation, such as achievement goal theory, take classroom context into account when examining individual motivation. However, motivational climate can also be considered as tightly woven with the cultural and social practices of a community rather than individual perception. In this study, researchers spent time in two indigenous villages observing classrooms, participating in community events, and talking with community members. During those visits, Attayal/Sediq children in Taiwan (n?=?18) and Mopan Mayan children in Belize (n?=?18) participated in three semi-structured interviews about their experience learning science in school, home, and community. Results indicate that motivation for learning science is closely linked with their identity as science learners. Three themes emerged to illuminate how social practices may or may not support individual identity, and consequently motivation, for learning science—student/teacher relationships, support for learning, and motivational climate. Differences between children in Taiwan and Belize are explored. Implications for motivation theory, educational practice, and policy are discussed.     

政府在职业培训投资中的作用

本文从七个方面论证了政府投资或者提供培训的正当理由,其中五个方面涉及受过培训的工人可能供给不足的问题,另外两个社会方面的理由是关注的不公平和经济学所疏忽的部分。除了对私人培训机构能力不足的补充外,这些论点中没有政府提供培训的成功案例。在培训表现出外部效益和为弱势群体提供技能发展项目时,对培训的公共资助理由是很充分的。单从经济学基本原理出发,提供尽可能多的公共培训是需要的,公共培训有效率且市场回应迅速是最为理想的。
