Using a Core Text with Bilingual Children

This study shows how the achievement of bilingual learners can be raised within the classroom context and within the framework of the National Curriculum. One text was used to stimulate a wide variety of language activities including using different styles and structures, having a sense of audience and an extended vocabulary, and exploring the children's own experiences and beyond.

单纤维对训练的适应

随着特殊的训练计划被教练员们采用以促进运动员的肌肉适应能力,肌肉训练也成为渐进式康复的重要组成部分,它能阻止与丧失运动能力、老化、疾病或微重力相关的萎缩效应。为了优化不同类型的干扰措施,需要更好地理解运动训练产生的反应,以及识别决定肌肉功能的各种机制。虽然整体肌肉活动在某种程度上是通过适应运动神经元爆发、运动单元补充模式或者肌肉量来进行的,本研究着重探讨肌肉纤维类型的表达以及训练后收缩肌的功能性适应能力。单一无皮纤维被证明是常用的实验模型,用于研究与肌浆球蛋白重链对碘氧基苯甲醚相关的试管内收缩特性。人体纤维主要的功能和生化特性在过去二十年中已经被详细研究了,但近来,无皮纤维模式正被用于研究不同类型的诱发训练后单纤维的功能适应性。本文的目的是概述收缩肌对于特定运动训练计划的反应,以及帮助形成适用于运动科学和康复的训练计划。     

A communication approach to the acculturation process: A study of Korean immigrants in Chicago

This paper explores a theoretical and methodological basis for studying foreign immigrants' acculturation processes from a communication perspective. Communication patterns of immigrants are conceptualized on three levels — behavioral, attitudinal, and perceptual. The behavioral level of communication includes the immigrant's participation in communication channels of the host society as well as the ethnic community. The perceptual level refers to the immigrant's cognitive structure in perceiving the host society. The attitudinal level is examined by the immigrant's affective-evaluative orientation toward the host society. The three levels of communication patterns were empirically investigated in a survey of 400 randomly selected Koreans in the Chicago area. The communication variables were assessed through composite scores using questionnaire items that were tested for reliability. The results show an overall linear trend in the immigrant's interethnic communication with Americans, positive attitude toward Americans, cognitive complexity in perceiving the American society, and satisfaction level. A simultaneous increase is observed in the immigrant's interpersonal communication with Americans and with other Koreans. The immigrant's use of ethnic media rapidly decreases over the years while that of American media steadily increases. Findings are discussed in comparison to previous studies of foreign immigrants and students and to sociological theories of acculturation of minority groups.     

Sensitivity to orthographic structure in educable mentally retarded children

Thirty educable mentally retarded (EMR) children were presented an item selection task to assess their sensitivity to orthographic structure in printed English words. Analyses of performance indicated that EMR children do acquire implicit knowledge of orthographic rules and that this ability is related to the development of reading skills.     

一次极限运动对运动员体内的自由基生成与清除的影响

24名国家健将级优秀运动员,包括了中跑、羽毛球、柔道各专项,在跑台上进行逐级递增极限负荷运动,测得最大吸氧量Vozmax,并于实验前后抽取静脉血以测定血清LPO含量及血清SOD活力。结果显示:优秀运动员一次极限运动后血清LPO含量显著增加,SOD活力无显著性改变;两者的变化在各专项之间以及两性之间皆没有显著性差异。提示:中跑、羽毛球、柔道等项目运动员自由基的生成与清除不存在项目的特点;并推测长期的专项训练可能没有获得自由基水平的适应变化。     

Reciprocity of inter-ethnic attitudes in a multicultural society

A national survey of multicultural and ethnic attitudes in Canada was conducted in 1974 (n = 1849). Data were analysed for the 1244 respondents whose ethnicity could be determined as Angloceltic, French, German, Italian or Ukrainian Canadian, A five group by five group intergroup attitude matrix was created, with each group acting both as attitude object and as holder of attitudes. Analysis indicated the existence of reciprocity or balance in the matrix: groups tended to reflect the attitude held toward them back onto the group holding the attitude. However this structural balance was moderated by the existence of shared attitudes about the position of a group in the national ethnic hierarchy. Further analysis indicated the existence of ethnocentrism in the matrix: attitudes toward ingroup and positive reference groups were more positive than toward out-groups. Perceived intergroup similarity and familiarity were positively correlated with each other and with intergroup acceptance. Results were discussed in relation to attitude balance theory and ethnocentrism theory, and in their implication for intergroup research in multicultural societies.
