Role of recognition of prior learning for emerging economies: learning from a four sector pilot project in India

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) has increasingly been recognised as a useful way to certify experience and competencies gained in the workplace informally. Particularly pertinent is RPL in the context of international migration or in economies, where system reforms seek to overcome challenges related to access to formal training and qualifications. India has the goal to skill 300 million of its growing workforce and provide them access at various levels to certification and further learning opportunities. As a part of the overall system reforms, the Government of India, jointly with the ILO, pilot tested RPL in four sectors in collaboration with the industry and built the foundation for wider replication for another 26 growth sectors by undertaking a tracer study and evaluation. This paper can empirically establish that RPL has had a positive effect on income opportunities, occupational safety, social status and openness to further learning. The paper further discusses the challenges encountered during the implementation of the RPL projects before concluding with recommendations, highlighting the aspects required for quality RPL in an emerging economy. It closes by emphasising the importance of conducting tracer studies to determine impact and the need to provide complementary training during the RPL process.     

Word stress production in three‐year‐old children at risk of dyslexia

We investigated Dutch word stress acquisition in 3‐year‐old children at risk of dyslexia (children with at least one parent or older sibling with reading difficulties) and normally developing children, in order to shed light on language acquisition delays in children at risk of dyslexia, as well as to investigate further phonological deficits in dyslexia. The children had to repeat non‐words with stress patterns varying in regularity. Both the at‐risk and control children performed better on imitation of regular stress targets and worse on irregular and prohibited stress patterns. However, the at‐risk children showed more difficulty imitating irregular and prohibited patterns, and had lower percentages phonemes correct than the control group. The results can be interpreted as a delay in word stress acquisition in the at‐risk group. The findings thus point towards a phonological deficit early in language development.     

《文选》诗以"类"相分的形成及影响

《选》之前的总集录诗或学理论诗,多以“体”相分,而《选》录诗首创以内容之“类”相分《选》诗以“类”相分,或起自乐府分类,或受到类书影响。《选》之后的类书及诸总集,如唐代类书《艺类聚》、《初学论》及唐代总集《馆词林》、宋代总集《苑英华》所录诗,都是以“类”相分,印证了《选》诗以“类”相分的影响。

文学情态及其鉴赏

学情态是学作品所蕴涵的情感运动形态，能表现或暗示情感具有震憾人心的力量，因而颇具人本主义思想，也颇具研究价值。还因它对人影响很大，故我们理当正确把握它。     

从"叙述"到"描绘"--从语体风格看二十世纪中国文学批评的视角转换

文学批评中语体风格的不同表现取决于批评家的“写作”姿态,批评家对于文学观念、人格追求、精神世界等方面的不同侧重导致了文学批评在语言色调和表达方式方面的不同。从20世纪中国文学批评中可以看出,批评的语体风格是由“叙述”性走向了“描绘”性,从语体风格所体现出来的视角特征中,我们不仅可以更好地了解批评家的“写作”姿态,而且还可以帮助我们认识促使批评视角转换的时代特征。     

关于文学语言的几点思考

Dreaming the Unstable Wings of Desire: Unseen,Educational Bruisings and The Elusive Self of Literature

When it comes to education, the dream cannot be controlled by the strictures of language or the conscious mind, and in its insistently disobedient character, is unwilling to submit to the demands of a deliberate and conscious curriculum. Indeed, we might say that what dreams represent is the absence of education itself, and a mobile energy antithetical to a fantasy of smoothly functioning teaching. In this article, we approach the question of dreaming’s place in education through two intertwined lenses: the conceptual and the literary. First, we intersperse throughout our paper excerpts from an untitled fictional narrative about a group of students who become progressively more beaten up, and whose teacher is unable to see their bruises, as they embark on the precarious task of expressing their dreaming, creative selves. We also turn to psychoanalytic theory (and, in particular, Thomas Ogden’s theory of dream thinking) to discuss the significance of the impenetrable nature of the dream, and ask how such qualities of unrepresentability might challenge our desires for answerable questions and legible answers. We end this piece with a recognition of the ways in which shared experiences of reading and writing may also support a place for dreams.     

传统《诗经》学的重大历史转折——朱熹“以《诗》言《诗》”说申论

朱熹首倡并躬行的“以《诗》言《诗》”说是对《诗序》”以史证《诗》”以及后儒“以《序》解《诗》”的否定与批判，同时又体现了对《诗经》文学本质与诗歌创作规律的深刻认识。贯彻“以《诗》言《诗》”的原则，实现传统《诗经》学的重大变革，是历史的发展与时代的需求赋予宋代学者的重大使命；而文学名家与经学大师的一身兼任，历代文学与历代经学的双轨集成，是朱熹实现《诗经》学变革的主体条件怀客观基础。
