Participants of the study were 20 college-level international students, uniformly Thai in language background, enrolled to study CSL at Southwest University, Chongqing, China. The research questions were investigated through two experiments, one administered to measure their L2 morphological proficiency in Chinese and the other to pinpoint the overall contribution of morphological awareness in incidental Chinese character learning through extensive reading as well as how such a contribution may vary when different dimensions of word knowledge are concerned. The results indicate that while higher L2 language proficiency can in general correspond to higher L2 morphological awareness, which in turn benefits the incidental learning of new words, morphological awareness plays a stronger and more explicit role in facilitating the incidental Chinese character learning for intermediate learners relative to advanced learners. In addition, intermediate learners, compared to advanced learners, tend to rely more heavily on character-internal and orthographical information when learning novel characters.

AN - 1775590635 AB - In many countries, especially liberal democratic ones, military or defense doctrine is a public document made available to researchers. In the case of the Islamic Republic of Iran, due to understandable concerns about potential American and Israeli aggression, comprehensive plans for using military forces, in both defensive and offensive operations, are classified. A presentation and analysis of Iran's military doctrine in a concise document is not available. One must reconstruct the whole from many small elements. Before analyzing Iran's current military doctrine, however, it is important to emphasize that a major break occurred after the Islamic Revolution and overthrow of the shah in 1979. The new political and military decision makers changed their approach towards the role and meaning of the armed forces and the entire security policy of the state. They also changed Iran's grand military doctrine, the "fundamental principles by which the military forces or elements thereof guide their actions in support of national objectives."

There is no direct mention of biobanks in either statutory or regulatory law besides a requirement that the Federal Ministry of Health and a Mexican institution devoted to scientific research approve the transfer of biological materials outside of Mexico for population genetics research purposes. Such requirements are the basis of Genomic Sovereignty in Mexico, but such requirements have not prevented international collaboration. In addition, Mexican law singles out genetic research in informed consent provisions, but it does not specify whether all biobank-based research is genetic research. In order to facilitate international collaboration on biobank-based research, Mexico should directly address biobanking in its laws, building on the research framework and data protection framework already in place.

AN - 1871579112; EJ1114174 AB - The purpose of this article is to persuade English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers and teacher trainers that homework is indeed beneficial by presenting multiple examples of high-quality homework assignments, as Dettmers et al. (2010) found in mathematics. The argument here is that it is not the time spent on homework that matters in early foreign-language instruction, but rather the types of homework assignments--perhaps different from traditionally assigned practice activities-- that make learning more meaningful.

Schmidt reveals that throughout the history of English language teaching (ELT), most students have never been taught how to listen. It was not just listening, but the need to do this listening in conjunction with an approach that helped focus on sounds, words, and building meaning from the bottom up as well as the top down. Schmidt offers "Listening journals" as one tool that can be used to serve this need. A listening journal is a book in which students record their extensive and intensive listening practices, as well as reflections on their listening experiences. The extensive listening aspect of listening journals requires students to choose and listen to texts that appeal to them from a source provided by the teacher. Students reflect on their successes, strengths, and weaknesses in order to identify skills they need to improve. Strengthening these weaker skills becomes a goal for students to focus on during further listening practice in the classroom, outside the classroom, or in subsequent listening journals. The listening resource presented is a web-based tool "TED Talk" from www.ted.com that provides activities for student learning and practice.

Ms. San has been active in the English language teaching (ELT) community in Burma for the past decade, teaching English as a foreign language and training English teachers in her local community. Due to the variety of students she teaches, Ms. San focuses her planning and teaching on meeting the unique needs of each class with topics generally focusing on volunteer work, community development, civil engagement, and academic skills. Whether middle-level civil servants in the Burmese government, Access students that represent a range of ethnic and religious groups in Burma, or the Youth Forum, for young people from Burma's Sagaing Region, all report that their learning skills have greatly increased their confidence in using English in multicultural and professional settings, and in preparing them to become future leaders in their communities.

The authors describe freewriting--and the sense of inquiry it generates--as a way of introducing the students to the exploratory, open-ended thinking that reading literature requires. The authors also explain freewriting about unfamiliar text as a powerful starting point for readers to make connections: text to self, text to text, and text to the world. Drawing from a robust body of writing-to-learn literature, the authors outline how freewriting and the literature curriculum works--its formats and variations--followed by a set of strategies for sharing and responding to freewriting in ways that elevate it as participatory analysis.

A mind map is a type of graphic organizer that allows for short ideas to be written and linked to related ideas on a "map." A central idea is placed in the middle of the paper with related ideas connected to the central idea as well as to other ideas. When students step back and look at a mind map, they have a clear visual representation of how their ideas are connected. In this case, students uses the topic of jobs and careers to demonstrate how the activity works. Students will start with a job or career that interests them, work together to compile what they collectively know about each job, and finish with a brief writing activity. This activity can be used to brainstorm ideas, develop existing ideas for other projects and activities, or review content students have learned.

Woodard, an English teacher preparing students for university-level work in academic English, describes a more effective student feedback technique that decreases the amount of time spent writing such feedback. Woodard explains his discovery of the tool "Jing." Jing is a free application for PCs and Macs by TechSmith, a company that specializes in screen capture. Jing records everything done in an area on the PC screen, as well as ones voice. Jing allows for showing rather than telling others how to do something much more clearly and in much less time than writing. Jing videos have the advantages of being clear and exact, and they can be viewed as many times as necessary and at a time convenient to the viewer. Student reactions to the audiovisual feedback was positive. Not only did they get a clear explanation of the areas in their paragraphs that needed work, they got the added dividend of being able to practice listening to English in a meaning-rich context. The advantages to audiovisual feedback are that it allows for more feedback of a higher quality, reduces the amount of time spent on grading and feedback, and provides an opportunity for students to practice listening.

Human Mind Maps require few resources and little preparation. The main requirements are space where students can move around and a little creativity and imagination. Mind maps can be used for a variety of purposes, and Human Mind Maps are no different. The topics you choose can be abstract; they can be controversial; they can be arguments for and against a proposal; they can be students' own opinions about an issue discussed in class. This article shares steps teachers can follow to create a Human Mind Map in the classroom. The activity requires students to think critically and creatively as well as apply vocabulary and concepts they have studied. Finally, it requires students to move around--purposefully--and communicate in English and collaborate.

To put students into a language-learning environment where they are unsure of their abilities, do not know their classmates, and are getting a grade for their performance can lead to an atmosphere of hesitation and fear. It has been said that "words are the voice of the heart" (Confucius), and to ask students to allow others to see their inner thoughts and heart is a hefty request and one that should be approached delicately and with intentionality. This article describes a lesson on adjectives and discusses ways to promote a sense of community while reinforcing the ability of students to use adjectives authentically. This activity can be adapted for use with adults and children alike. An example list of adjectives is provided.

We believe that teaching proper reading strategies can help second-language learners overcome their reading problems, especially when the instruction begins in elementary school. Effective reading strategies "provide the means to tackle complex problems in more efficient ways" and allow students to build a "path to comprehension" (McNamara 2009, 34). One effective strategy is "concept mapping," which is the use of visual tools to help readers understand material by transferring "the written content into concrete images" (Liu, Chen, and Chang 2010, 442). Through concept-mapping activities, learners connect previously learned and newly learned ideas onto a visual representation, or "map." Research shows that concept maps have positive effects on children's language skills; for example, Liu et al. (2011) describe how concept mapping "prompts learners to reflect to construct meaning based on their observations and knowledge," thereby helping "students develop and apply the knowledge about storytelling" (873). In this article, the authors describe two reading lessons that use concept mapping to produce beneficial effects for elementary school students.

The author defines constructivism and discusses its two main approaches: cognitive and social constructivism. The author then compares an instructivist versus a constructivist classroom and focuses on how they are different in terms of the level of flexibility. The author describes how an in-service teachers' workshop successfully transformed. Benefits discussed include positive learning experience and the wash-back effect on pedagogy.

Knowing how to interpret a communicative act is equally important, and it needs to be taught explicitly. Therefore, he makes this learning a regular part of the class experience. Greetings are one of the few speech acts that children are taught explicitly in their native language (Kakiuchi 2005). Yet, the communicative function that greetings serve is usually understood as subordinate to other purposes in the ultimate goal of communication (DuFon 1999). In the language classroom, this subordinate position often means that teaching greetings is neglected; too little attention is paid to the roles that greetings play in various cultures and how these roles may affect the ultimate goal of communication. This article provides background information on this important speech act and instructional strategies for use in the classroom to help teachers equip their students with a critical component to successful interactions. This article also describes four awareness-raising tasks that introduce the greeting speech act as a cycle of explicit pragmatic instruction, including keeping a greeting journal, watching contemporary TV shows, using discourse completion tasks (DCTs), and participating in role plays and mingles.

Because the skill of speaking invariably involves interaction with people and using language to reach objectives (e.g., ordering food, making friends, asking for favors), it is crucial for teachers to explore activities that help students learn the typical ways to express these and other language functions. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how to identify pragmatic teaching points, to introduce related activities, and to generally encourage attention to pragmatic speaking ability in language classrooms.

Their school is in Hezhang County--the No. 2 Middle School in the province of Guizhou. In China, most middle schools consist of six grades of students; the first three years are considered junior middle school and the latter three years are commonly referred to as senior middle school (or sometimes senior high school). Both Ms. Huang and Ms. Zhu are dedicated to helping their students build interest in the English language inside and outside the classroom. They work diligently to increase their students' confidence and give them access to more opportunities. For both of these women, communication and professional development are paramount to forming productive relationships with other teachers and the students--which leads to success in language learning. Both Ms. Huang and Ms. Zhu want their students to use English as a universal language to communicate and access more information and opportunities. They accomplish this goal by cooperating and by communicating openly with each other, their colleagues, and their students. Most importantly, they recognize the importance of professionalism and continuing education. Ms. Huang recently found out that she has been selected by the Chinese national government to participate in a summer exchange program at Georgetown University later this year. She plans to use this opportunity to strengthen her own skills as a teacher and then share them with others through teacher- training workshops. "My goal for this next year is to spread ideas to other teachers--first teachers in my school, and then in my county. I could be a trainer next year," said Ms. Huang.

Since 2008, the U.S. Embassy in Beijing has been collecting real-time air-quality data from a monitor on the Embassy's rooftop and sharing that data publicly through social media. Using this freely available data, as well as those from four other U.S. consulates in China that are also now collecting and sharing data publicly, we demonstrate that rooftop air-quality monitors installed at embassies and consulates can further our understanding of air quality and provide a rich, hourly-averaged, long-term data source for the academic community and decision-makers. For example, this is the first study to present an analysis of diurnal variability of PM2.5 in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Shenyang. We analyzed the diurnal variability of PM2.5 over the entire period of measurement for those cities and Beijing, and found marked variation across seasons and between cities. This dataset allows comparison of the PM2.5 annual average concentrations in 2013, with Guangzhou reporting 56.3 mu g/m3, Shanghai 61.6 mu g/m3, Chengdu 96.1 mu g/m3, Beijing 99.6 mu g/m3, and Shenyang 76.3 mu g/m3 (note the average in Shenyang is from August 2013-July 2014). This study demonstrates the potential uses of air quality data that is currently systematically being collected and made publicly accessible by U.S. embassies and consulates in polluted but under-studied locations.

In this regard, it is commonly said that practice makes perfect. It therefore makes sense for teachers to ask themselves how much their listening activities demand from students and to evaluate whether students are getting full benefit from the listening materials being used. The author reflected on his own professional practice as an English teacher and teacher educator and to find innovative, cost-effective ways to fully exploit listening materials, integrate as many linguistic skills as possible, and ultimately foster students' autonomy and language learning by means of peer assessment. Thus, he created a hybrid task by combining one activity commonly used to teach or test listening--the listening cloze--with another activity commonly used to teach speaking--the information gap (info-gap). In this article, the author will cover relevant research and then describe how he conceptualized the hybrid activity, how to put it into practice, and what results he has gotten by using it. The author will also offer ideas on how to make a listening cloze info-gap activity part of a more complex English lesson.

However, teachers often focus on the ability to form the question properly and not as much on the quality of the information the question is seeking. Whether teaching English language learners or students who want to be English teachers, teachers need to carefully consider the intent of questions. What makes a good discussion question? A question that results in a Yes/No answer or one that elicits only factual information is not likely to promote discussion. More fruitful are open-ended questions that elicit factual information as well as opinions and differing perspectives. To address the issue of how to develop effective discussion questions, Lynn Zimmerman planned an interactive activity that required students to write questions about a topic they had just focused on, in this case, the topic was sociocultural influences on intercultural communication. After writing discussion questions, students then critiqued one another's questions. Herein, Zimmerman describes how the activity engaged students in authentic discussion at several levels while using a variety of language skills and functions.

They challenge the traditional paradigm of education because the very concept of learner-produced materials is based on trust in the student-centered learning process; when developing materials, learners do not rely on the teacher to make every decision. In this article, the author will highlight the educational value of learner-produced materials and discuss methods to encourage students to create materials. As they do, they review content themselves, provide opportunities for peers to review content and engage in peer learning, and contribute to the collection of stored materials available to other classes and future students. The author will also describe a few material-development activities aimed at empowering learners to practice and improve their English.

Teachers cannot neglect the impact of new technologies and fail to incorporate them in their teaching practice because that would not cater to many students' needs. Ignoring technological advances would also entail not benefiting from an array of online teaching resources and academic material. The question that arises then is: why not make use of the tools that are easily accessible? The author reflected upon her own teaching practice and decided it was time that she tried something innovative in her classes. She had been exploring different online tools and chose Storybird as part of the new media to exploit in creative writing lessons. In this article, she shares the experience of using this website (www. storybird.com) in the classes she teaches and describes the effect it had on learners' writing process.

Integrating Visual Literacy in Language Learning with Photographs AN - 1773224052; EJ1084470 AB - Cognitive research has shown that the human brain processes images quicker than it processes words, and images are more likely than text to remain in long-term memory. With the expansion of technology that allows people from all walks of life to create and share photographs with a few clicks, the world seems to value visual media more than ever before. Communicative language classrooms are an ideal location to cultivate the visual literacy skills involved in viewing and creating images. In this article, the author describes ways to use images to support students' language skills while honing their abilities to analyze and create messages; sophisticated technology or high-resolution cameras are not required. The author first summarizes ways educators have defined visual literacy, provide a rationale for connecting visual literacy to the language classroom, and then gives examples of instructional techniques with photographs.

One such approach, the literature circle--which is somewhat like a student book club in the classroom--has drawn a great deal of attention in recent years (Schlick Noe and Johnson 1999). Many teachers champion the strategy and use it consistently in their classrooms (Daniels 2002). According to the Standards for the English Language Arts published by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English (1996, 32), the instructional practices realized by literature circles embody quality educational standards and are used by teachers "who are bringing out the best in their students day by day." To shed light on the many ways that literature circles improve English skills, this article defines the term, provides a brief theoretical foundation for the use of literature circles, describes their benefits, and then presents a four-lesson unit that applies the approach to the teaching of a literary text.

The activity touches on each of the skill sets associated with English language acquisition, with special attention paid to cultural issues that can be applied on a country-by-country basis. No matter what country the technique is used in, the goal is to create an inviting lesson in which students exercise English abilities while sharing their cultural and personal norms (or exceptions). The technique offers many variations to suit different teaching styles and can be used as a warm-up activity or take up an hour-long session. It is based on the notion of a "Mad Lib." The teacher makes up a creative story to share with the class, leaving blank key cultural and personal references particular to the country and individual students. By incorporating examples of celebrities, foods, music, places, and other culture-specific customs, this activity enables the students to finish their own stories, highlighting their individual preferences as the unique part that completes each sentence. Vocabulary used and length of the exercise can be adjusted based on the class's collective mastery of English. Herein, Jellick describes his own experience implementing the technique and provides ideas for extensions and variations.

Questions quickly arise, such as who is qualified to design the curriculum and how do these people begin the design process. According to Graves (2008), in many contexts the design of the curriculum and the implementation of the curricular product are considered to be two mutually exclusive processes, where a long chain of specialists including policy makers, methodologists, and publishers produce the curriculum in a hierarchical process, at the end of which lies the teacher. There has been a movement in recent years by teacher-practitioners to exert greater agency over curriculum analysis and design (El-Okda 2005; Jennings and Doyle 1996). From September 2011 to the present, a group of teachers at the language center of a national university in Seoul have embraced their role as curriculum developers and collaborated on the creation, implementation, and ongoing development of a wholly teacher-generated backward-designed curriculum that targets their students' collective needs. The curriculum is teacher-generated in that they have created all their teaching materials without the use of traditional coursebooks, and it is backward-designed in that they began by identifying needs and learning outcomes before making all other curricular decisions. In the process of implementing and continuing this project, they have devised a ten-step development process (Butler, Heslup, and Kurth 2014), based on a backward-design approach to curriculum design, to facilitate the creation and revision of five-week teaching units for their practical English conversation courses.

One central problem the authors identified in their work in the AEXALEVI Teachers' Centre is the compartmentalization of instruction and assessment. Virtual and face-to-face forums with instructors from Buenos Aires and other districts were held for five years, and most of these teachers reported that they generally teach the content of the syllabus as one thing, and they deal with exam training as a separate component in the course design, which is developed close to examination time and not before. However, when the teacher indulges in teaching to the test, the student does not have the chance to develop skills over time. For example, students have been observed rattling off the summary of a story, overtly learned by heart, without ever being able to answer a simple question from the examiner or interact with a peer in a communicative task. Here lies the danger of treating course and exam, and by the same token, teaching/learning and evaluation, as two separate components rather than as an integrated whole. At the Teachers' Centre, the authors designed ways to introduce changes in skill development to help students both improve their speaking ability and perform better on tests. This article describes three techniques which allow students to structure their oral discourse in meaningful ways in order to help teachers in similar contexts: (1) WWW (What You Think; What You Like; What You Do; And Other People, Too); (2) Who, Where, What, and Why, You Can Have a Try!; and (3) Now and Next, I Will Pass This Test! The authors posit that if students learn to conceive of ideas following a strategic organization reinforced by raising awareness, modeling, and anchoring of the techniques by means of rhyme, gestures, movement, and analogy, then their discourse will be framed within the structure provided and away from random oral discourse. The development of oral discourse can occur only over time and requires a consistent approach by the teacher to contextualize work in the classroom, provide opportunities for interaction, and offer assessment on the part of both the teacher and the students.

Specifically, students will participate in role plays to describe occupations and job-related duties. The level of the activity is upper beginner or low intermediate and the time required is 45-60 minutes. The goals are: (1) to ask and answer small-talk questions about jobs; and (2) to practice using language related to greetings, introductions, and taking leave. The materials required are: (1) chalk and blackboard, or markers and whiteboard; (2) paper and pencils or pens; (3) role-play character cards and graphic organizers (see Preparation section for details); (4) timing device; and (5) overhead or digital projector (optional). Students will role-play being at a party with assigned character names and job titles. Several role-play parties occur in the classroom at the same time. Party "guests" must introduce themselves and ask one another about their jobs; they are encouraged to have fun and be dramatic. Students can refer to supporting language information on the board, if needed, but they do not follow a script. When the parties end, students use a graphic organizer to write down details they remember about the other guests and their jobs, then discuss and compare the information they collected. Scaffolding options for lower-level students and students who might not be familiar with small-talk functions are provided at the end of the activity.

Due to Ms. Huanca's lack of understanding of English, she did not always like English. Her feelings changed when, as an undergraduate student, she enrolled in an English class that inspired her to not only open her mind and heart to the English language, but also to one day share her love of English. This article describes Ms. Huanca's experience with learning the English language, and how that experience shapes her interactions with her own students.

Too many describe themselves or are described by their teachers and parents as "reluctant, disengaged, and/or unmotivated" by classroom texts or by the rows of books in school libraries. Even though blockbuster series have powered young adult fiction and cinematic markets over the last two decades (e.g., "Harry Potter" "The Hunger Games" "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"), "I don't like to read" is nevertheless a common refrain in schools and in homes. In terms of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL), the communicative language teaching paradigms that have long dominated the field tend to downplay literacy as a focus in preference for conceptualizing language as distinct if overlapping skill sets of reading, writing, and listening. Whether a student did or did not like reading has historically been of less concern to a field more focused on communicative language development. Yet, with more contemporary proponents of "literacy" arguing the multidimensional, multimodal, and existential ways of reading the "word/world" as an alternative ( Freire 2000; Heath 1983; Paris 2011), the concept of literacy has slowly begun entering the professional lexicon of TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) International Association and other leading English language teaching professional organizations; in addition, the "power of reading" is an emerging centerpiece of primary and secondary curricular paradigms (see Fay and Whaley 2004; Krashen 1993). In this article, the authors argue that how adolescent language learners position themselves as readers does matter to teachers of EFL and that teachers do not have to accept a student's declaration of "I don't like to read" as a permanent reality. Schools, and English language classrooms in particular, can promote a culture of reading that forwards a communicative paradigm and at the same time embraces literacy as a "system for representing the world to ourselves--a psychological phenomenon; at the same time it is a system for representing the world to others--a social phenomenon" (Barton 1994, 33). Specifically, they outline in practical ways the potential of applied theatre for stimulating purposeful, creative literacy engagement with adolescent learners in order to engage communication in multiple modalities and in interactive ways. They begin with a brief overview of applied theatre and contemporary theorizations of its relationship to literacy development. Next, they provide a description of four approaches for activating applied theatre for literacy development, using Shel Silverstein's (1964) "The Giving Tree" as an anchor example. They conclude with special attention to how applied theatre might be leveraged across grade levels in diverse classroom settings and adapted for varied genres and forms of text.

Typically, students are told to describe their childhood home, a person of importance, a special object, or a summer vacation. Most students, especially learners of English as a foreign language (EFL), have difficulty beginning the assignment. After experiencing this firsthand teaching an intermediate-level English class to first-year university students in Namibia, Katherine Carter found that visualization based on the five senses--what we touch, see, smell, hear, and taste--can be used as a technique to get ideas down on paper. This technique could be useful for teachers in a variety of EFL teaching contexts, from primary school to university, and can be used with a wide range of texts that are particularly vivid and that stimulate the senses. This article provides a step-by-step description of the technique. JF - English Teaching Forum AU - Carter, Katherine Y1 - 2015 PY - 2015 DA - 2015 SP - 37 EP - 40 PB - US Department of State.

Many studies of peatland respiration report high CO2 fluxes that cannot be completely explained by measured pathways of microbial metabolism: it appears that an unquantified pool of electron acceptors is driving respiration and the efflux of CO2. The notion that undetected iron reduction may be an important contributing factor to these fluxes has been proposed, but has yet to be addressed. Among the possible causes for this anomaly is the widespread use of colorimetric assays for iron quantitation and speciation. Peat porewater contains high concentrations of dissolved humic and fulvic acids that occlude Fe(III), blocking colorimetric complex formation, potentially leading to an underestimate of Fe(III) in these challenging analytical matrices. We evaluated a novelionic liquid extraction method in a variety of temperate peatland porewater samples and compared these results to data acquired simultaneously using colorimetric methods. We found a >50% average improvement in accuracy for total iron quantitation using ionic liquid extraction. Moreover, ionic liquid extraction of peat porewater consistently recovered Fe(III) whereas colorimetric methods detected 50-100% less, suggesting that DOM bound Fe(III) is not reliably detected using colorimetric assays in these systems and may represent a previously unidentified pool of electron acceptors in peat porewater.

For example, researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have demonstrated that low frequency EM signatures of sealed metallic containers can be used to rapidly confirm the presence of specific components on a 'yes/no' basis without revealing classified information. PNNL researchers have also used ultrasonic measurements to obtain images of material microstructures which may be used as templates or unique identifiers of treaty accountable items (TAIs). Such alternative technologies are suitable for application in various stages of weapons dismantlement and often reduce or eliminate classified data collection because of the physical limitations of the method. In such cases the need for an information barrier to prevent access to classified data is potentially eliminated, thus simplifying verification scenarios. As a result, these types of technologies may complement traditional radiation-based verification methods for arms control. This article presents an overview of several alternative verification technologies that are suitable for supporting a future, broader and more intrusive arms control regime that spans the nuclear weapons dismantlement lifecycle. The general capabilities and limitations of each verification modality are discussed and example technologies are presented. These technologies are relevant throughout a potential warhead monitoring regime, from entry into chain of custody (i.e., establishing confidence in the authenticity and integrity of the warhead) to dismantlement and final material disposition (i.e., maintaining confidence that chain of custody has not been broken).

Secretary of State John Kerry visited Indonesia in February, delivering a speech on climate change that resonated in a region expecting a major impact from global warming and rising seas. In early April, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel hosted the first-ever US-ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting in Hawaii. The specter of the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 hung over this meeting as an example of the growing need for regional cooperation and coordination in the face of disaster. At the end of the month, President Obama visited Malaysia and the Philippines, stops he had cancelled last fall because of the US government shutdown. The main deliverables of his trip - a Comprehensive Partnership with Malaysia and an enhanced defense agreement with the Philippines - shored up the administration's assertion that the US 'rebalancing' to Asia is real, and that Southeast Asia is critical to that process. However, the heavy emphasis on defense in Obama's Philippines visit also reinforced Southeast Asian perceptions that the 'pivot' is primarily a security policy. Adapted from the source document.

Surveys were sent to 56 PCMOs serving in countries with moderate or high rabies vaccine recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), of which 38 (68%) responded. Thirty-seven PCMOs reported that, of 4,982 PCVs, 140 (3%) experienced possible rabies exposures. Of these, 125 (89%) had previously received rabies vaccination, 129 (92%) presented with adequately cleansed wounds, and 106 (76%) were deemed to require and were given post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Of 35 respondents, 30 (86%) reported that rabies vaccine was always accessible to PCVs in their country within 24 hours. Overall, the Peace Corps is successful at preventing and treating possible rabies exposures. However, this study identified a few gaps in policy implementation. The Peace Corps should continue and strengthen efforts to provide education, preexposure vaccination, and PEP to PCVs.

The pathogenesis is thought to be due to hematogenous infection or ascending infection from the lower urinary tract. Escherichia coli has been the major pathogen isolated in prior cases, but other Gram-negative enteric pathogens and Staphylococcus aureus have been reported as well.

EJ1050251 AB - Although many fields of study are increasingly promoting awareness of the need to protect the ecosystem by thinking and acting "green," the concept of environmental education actually has a long history; for example, concerns about global environmental problems were discussed at a 1972 United Nations Conference (Nkwetisama 2011), which resulted in the Belgrade Charter (UNESCO-UNEP 1976), a document that sets out six objectives for environmental education: awareness and knowledge of problems, an attitude of concern, skill at overcoming problems, and evaluation of and participation in solutions. Considering the ambitious objectives of environmental education, increasing students' awareness of environmental problems and possible solutions is a challenging task. As suggested by Jacobs and Cates (2012), there is a great need to take action--not just developing awareness but developing an understanding of causes and becoming competent in evaluating plans to deal with problems. The most important objective of environmental education is actually to get students to participate. That objective is a good fit for language teaching and learning, particularly with language-teaching approaches that emphasize participation in learning rather than merely passing tests (Jacobs and Goatly 2000). With participation as the goal, teachers can focus instruction on information and activities that protect the environment. Activities might be directly related to school life, such as adopting a zero-waste classroom policy, growing gardens on the school ground, or bringing nature to the classroom (which can be as simple as having students bring in plants and take responsibility for caring for them). This article suggests practical activities for integrating environmental education into English language teaching (ELT), based on the experiences of one of the authors, who added environmentally related elements to an English as a foreign language (EFL) writing class. Since the general EFL teaching and learning process in the authors' context applies the genre-based approach (GBA), this article also discusses how environmental issues can be incorporated using that approach, especially for teaching the productive skills.

The importance of PLEs for teachers lies in their ability to help students develop autonomy and prepare them for lifelong learning. New technologies are making the creation of PLEs easier and their use more effective. Although PLEs can be created without the aid of technology, in this article, author Hayo Reinders, Professor and Director of the online doctoral TESOL program at Anaheim University, considers their use mostly in the context of online resources. Here he also discusses PLEs' use for language learning and looks at ways in which teachers can use them to help students take responsibility for their own learning.

DARE (or PROERD) is frequently used in Brazil as well. A central component of DARE is police officers serving as instructors. It was of interest whether the differing context of Brazil, which provides a different social context and differing relationships between youth and police, may yield different findings. Methods: A post-test only, quasi-experimental study was conducted to examine the long-term effectiveness of DARE in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Participants were 1677 students completing DARE in 2003 and 1388 students from matched comparison schools. Results/Conclusion: There was little evidence to suggest that the DARE programme affected student outcomes or mediators of student outcomes. The policy implications of these findings are discussed.

No animal has played a greater role in human history. Horses have carried us into war, pulled our loads, plowed our fields, and transported us over all kinds of terrain. Freed of such drudgery by motorized devices, horses now provide companionship and entertainment. This feature article traces the history of horses in North America, highlights American horse breeds, and describes the many ways Americans interact with horses including trail rides, horse shows, and equine therapy.

Interestingly, in this moment it is not only the students who are puzzled. Often the teacher's confusion mirrors the students'. The teacher wonders, "What wasn't clear about my instructions, and how do I reteach when I have already given it my best shot?" For insight into solving the problem of the blank stare, the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) model (Pearson and Gallagher 1983) provides teachers with a structure that can be used to strengthen classroom lessons. In this article, the author introduces the GRR model in the EFL context, with an emphasis on training teachers in communicative language teaching (CLT) strategies. First she defines the four steps of the GRR using a standard EFL grammatical topic--the contrast between the gerund and the infinitive--to compare the nature of traditional lessons with those guided by the GRR. She also provides concrete examples of how she incorporates the GRR in two fundamental EFL teacher-training activities: (1) the information-gap activity and (2) reflections on model lessons. She uses examples from her experiences working with public high school teachers in Pernambuco, Brazil, to show how implementing the GRR model can strengthen student-centered professional development programs for local EFL teachers around the world.

Although this method seems antiquated, it is still commonly practiced, as original dictogloss procedures were intended to provide an alternative to traditional grammar teaching. This article demonstrates an interactive and student-centered example of dictogloss activities that offer an alternative to traditional dictation, and also can be applied both within and outside the English language-learning classroom. A dictogloss provides a framework for educators to integrate language skills with social interaction that encourages learners to take ownership of their learning. Thus, learning becomes more meaningful and relevant for what learners are likely to face in the future.

This article describes a "mingle" as an activity where a student approaches a classmate, talks for a while, and then moves on to speak to another classmate. The distinctive features of a mingle activity are that all the students work simultaneously, in pairs or small groups, and switch from one classmate to another while speaking, listening, and taking notes. Face-to-face interaction with at least a few other students is the principal goal. Mingles are similar to real-life situations in which the same information is sought from different people in order to find something out or to share the same story. With mingles, the teacher is guided by the need to (1) avoid monotony of the lesson flow; (2) provide ample practice for every student; and (3) prepare students properly for a more challenging activity. The article describes three types of mingle tasks available for the ESL teacher that can create numerous opportunities for students to try out varied activities for themselves, thereby recycling, refining, and expanding the students' personal experiences.

In order to effectively tackle this situation, teachers need to work together with the NSs. Teachers in this scenario have the opportunity to share their experience and knowledge, both of teaching and how English works in their country, with NSs in order to develop their teaching abilities for the benefit of the students. The benefits for the teachers are the increased use of English when interacting with these NSs and an increased knowledge of their culture. Granted, many NSs do have a great amount of English teaching experience, but this article focuses on the ones who do not. One resource for these NSs who now want to teach English is Snow's (2006) "More Than a Native Speaker: An Introduction for Volunteers Teaching English Abroad." But what happens when the NSs must begin teaching right away? They may not be able to access this book in time. This article discusses two important aspects that an NS should know before teaching English in a school: cultural development and educational development. In this article, the term "cultural development" means the culture of English in one's own country; meanwhile, the author defines "educational development" as the most important assistance that teachers can give these NSs to help them quickly become effective teachers in the classroom. An appendix provides: "Questioning Method to Help NSs Teach." JF - English Teaching Forum AU - Odhuu, Kelli Y1 - 2014 PY - 2014 DA - 2014 SP - 2 EP - 11 PB - US Department of State.

The writing approach modeled here simply argues that the paragraph should be given primacy of place in ESL/EFL academic writing instruction. The paragraph-based approach outlined in this article, an approach that relies on a conventional paragraph and essay structure, and that is intimately involved with the strategic implementation of the logical relationships appropriate to a particular mode of organization, has definite advantages in the ESL/EFL academic writing classroom. The challenge of this approach for the teacher is to ensure that students' ideas and content are not lost in an obsessive pursuit of the correct form.

Political economy theory suggests that in a country with high inequality, the majority of the population will support democracy as a potential mechanism for redistribution. Much of the survey and area-studies literature, by contrast, suggests that inequality generates political disillusion and regime dissatisfaction. To clarify this disagreement, we distinguish between prospective versus retrospective evaluations as well as between egocentric versus sociotropic evaluations. We test the resulting hypotheses in a multilevel analysis conducted in 10 democracies. We find that citizens are retrospective and sociotropic, meaning that higher levels of economic inequality reduce support for democracy amongst all social classes. We also find a small prospective egocentric effect, in that the reduction in democratic support in highly unequal countries is slightly less severe amongst the poor, suggesting they believe that democracy might increase future redistribution.

Nonstate Actors and the Transnational Movement of Procedural Law AN - 1531929688; 201413870 AB - In recent years U.S. legal norms and practices reconfigured important elements of how law is thought of and practiced in both common and civil law countries around the world. With specific focus on the spread of American procedural practices (class action and pretrial discovery), this article applies a transactional view of law that emphasizes the private practice of law and nonstate actors. Such an approach highlights important aspects of world politics overlooked by traditional analyses of international legalization, conventionally understood as the direct spread of law by and among states. We find that the movement of law is a dynamic process involving diffusion, translation, and the repeated transnational exchanges of legal actors. Through our examination of this process, we offer insights into how aspects of American law moved into unlikely jurisdictions to reshape legal theory, pedagogy, procedure, and the organizing structure of the legal profession.

Political and religious leaders condemned the killing, and the government established a task force to address ways to stem the growth of violent extremism, focusing on the radicalization of worshippers in mosques, university students, and prisoners.

The constitution stipulates that all citizens are equal before the law, without discrimination between citizens on grounds of religious belief. While the law permits Muslims to proselytize non-Muslims, it prohibits efforts to convert Muslims and denies Muslims the freedom to change religion. Tables.

In practice, the government generally follows a policy of tolerance toward non-Muslim religious groups and rarely interferes with their worship activities; Sunni and Shia Muslims practiced freely. Practitioners of other religions generally worshiped in specially-designated or private locations.

Under civil war, the regime regularly attacked areas under opposition control. Government-controlled regular security forces and irregular militias (shabiha) associated with the government committed widespread human rights abuses. The political opposition largely coalesced under a new political entity, the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces. The Asad regime continued to use indiscriminate and deadly force to quell protests and conducted air and ground-based military assaults on cities, residential areas, and civilian infrastructures, including schools and hospitals throughout the country.

The constitution provides for a multi-party political system, but the government obstructed political pluralism. The November 6, 2013 presidential election lacked pluralism, genuine choice, and did not meet international standards. The most significant human rights problems included torture and abuse of detainees and other persons by security forces; repression of political activism and restrictions on freedoms of expression and the free flow of information; and poor religious freedom conditions as well as violence and discrimination against women.

Many unregistered religious groups reported abuses, with a particularly high number of reports coming from the Central and Northwest Highlands. These included allegations of beatings, arrests, detentions, and criminal convictions. The government, however, registered an increased number of religious groups and generally respected the religious freedom of those registered groups, to the extent the groups complied with regulations.

The constitution generally allows Muslims of different groups and followers of religious groups other than Islam to worship according to their beliefs -- However, the government prohibits conversion from Islam and efforts to proselytize Muslims. The transitional government under which former president Saleh left office took steps towards establishing new mechanisms to defend religious diversity. Tables.

In February, the parliament amended the Law on Registered Religious Organizations to provide equal recognition and rights to secular organizations that promote humanism. There was some societal discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. US embassy officials promoted religious freedom. Tables.

Members of security forces committed human rights abuses and were turned over to the civilian justice system. Among the most serious human rights problems were corruption, intimidation, and institutional weakness of the justice system leading to widespread impunity; unlawful and arbitrary killings by security forces, organized criminal elements, and others; and harsh and at times life-threatening prison conditions.

Isolated cases of human rights abuses by security forces were reported. The most significant human rights problem in the country during the year was corruption, particularly in the judicial sector.

Security forces committed human rights abuses. The most significant human rights problems were citizens' inability to change their government peacefully, reflected throughout the year in demonstrations calling for various political and economic reforms; mistreatment and allegations of torture by security and government officials with impunity; restrictions on freedom of expression that limited the ability of citizens and media to criticize government policies and officials; and restrictions on freedom of assembly and association, leading to the repeated arrest of protesters charged with unlawful gathering.

There was tension and confrontation among religious groups, attributable in part to competition for political power, and citizens continued to struggle along sectarian lines, in part as the legacy of a 15-year civil war (1975-1990).

The degree of respect for and protection of religious freedom continued to vary among provinces. The law prohibits proselytizing by deceptive, pecuniary, or coercive means. The government inconsistently applied procedural rules for the registration and oversight of religious groups, particularly those run by foreigners, with reported instances of bureaucratic harassment from local governments. There were reports of societal discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. Tables.

Security forces largely composed of disparate militias nominally and intermittently under the authority of the Defense and Interior Ministries committed human rights abuses. The most serious human rights problems resulted from the absence of effective justice and security institutions. Tables.

Authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces, which committed human rights abuses. The most serious human rights abuses were those tied to a lack of justice: judicial inefficiency and corruption; lengthy pretrial detention; denial of due process; and harsh prison conditions. Violence against women and children, including rape and domestic violence, and child labor were also serious problems. Tables.

There were reports of societal abuse or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice -- often mixed with ethnic tensions. The politicization of religious issues is increasing and has had a negative effect on religious tolerance.

The Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) stated that the parliamentary elections in 2011 were competitive, transparent, and well administered. Security forces reported to civilian authorities and did not commit widespread or systemic human rights abuses. The most critical human rights problem was the government's failure to fully respect the rule of law, including by blurring state and party activities, interfering in the judiciary and the media, and selective prosecution of political opponents, as well as significant levels of government corruption and police impunity.

The law does not recognize a state religion; however, the government's financial support and promotion of Buddhism as a part of Lao culture, along with its willingness to exempt Buddhist groups from a number of restrictions, elevated the status of Buddhism.

Parliamentary elections in May complied 'with the fundamental freedoms of expression, association, and assembly,' but there were pervasive allegations of vote buying and a lack of transparency. Security forces committed human rights abuses, including excessive use of force, arbitrary arrest, and harassment and intimidation. There were allegations of unlawful wiretapping.

Violence perpetrated by both sides resulted in approximately 3,000 deaths, significant population displacement, torture, sexual violence, and widespread property destruction. The postelectoral crisis officially ended in April 2011 with Gbagbo's capture, but restoring the rule of law and addressing impunity has been slow. Tables.

Authorities did not interfere with individuals who drank or ate publicly during the daylight hours of Ramadan, an improvement from prior years.

The government monitored religious groups, and the Cuban Communist Party, through its Office of Religious Affairs (ORA), continued to control most aspects of religious life. The government harassed outspoken religious leaders, prevented human rights activists from attending religious services, and in some cases employed violence to prevent activists from engaging in public political protests when exiting religious services. Most established religious groups, however, reported an increased ability of their members to meet, worship, travel abroad, recruit new members, and conduct charitable, educational, and community service projects.

The lack of government responsiveness to the needs of or protection for minority religious groups and individuals contributed to abuses of religious freedom.

Authorities maintained effective control over the security forces, which occasionally committed human rights abuses. The most serious human rights problems were police abuse, detainee abuse (compounded by problems in processing them), a poorly functioning judicial system leading to delays in trial, and witness intimidation.

The 'burqa ban' passed in 2011 remains in place, although it is not consistently enforced. Far more widespread, however, are practices and policies that limit the freedom of Muslim women to wear head coverings. The government retains the authority to monitor religious groups, and it provides financial support for officially recognized religious groups. Tables.

Security forces committed human rights abuses. Human rights problems included citizens unable to change their government through elections; government authorities committing frequent, serious abuses; and persons remaining imprisoned on politically motivated charges.

Only religious groups belonging to one of the five state-sanctioned 'patriotic religious associations' (Buddhist, Taoist, Muslim, Catholic, and Protestant), however, are permitted to register with the government and legally hold worship services. In Tibetan areas and the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR), there were particularly serious violations of religious freedom. Tables.

The government detained members of unregistered religious groups, with the number of reported detentions increasing, due in part to an increase in arrests of persons who refused to participate in the new citizen militia program because of conscientious objection to bearing arms. Political authorities discouraged some religious leaders from meeting with international diplomats, including US embassy representatives, to discuss religious freedom. Tables.

The country began a gradual transition from an absolute to a democratic constitutional monarchy in 1998, culminating in its first general election for the National Assembly in 2008. Principal human rights problems included the regulation of religious institutions, limitations on activities the government viewed as undermining national identity and stability, and continued government delays in implementing a process to identify and repatriate refugees in Nepal with legitimate Bhutanese citizenship claims.

Ultimate authority rests with the 25-member Political Bureau (Politburo) of the CCP and its seven-member Standing Committee. China completed its once-in-a-decade leadership transition in March, and Xi Jinping holds the three most powerful positions as CCP general secretary, state president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission. Repression and coercion, particularly against organizations and individuals involved in civil and political rights advocacy and public interest issues, ethnic minorities, and law firms that took on sensitive cases, were routine.

While legislative elections held February 22, 2013, included participation by opposition parties for the first time in 10 years, the opposition rejected the vote as flawed, and disputes over official results fueled months of protest. The most serious human rights problem was the government's abridgement of the right of citizens to change or significantly influence their government. Tables.

The millions of recreational boaters in the United States would undoubtedly agree. JF - English Teaching Forum Y1 - 2013 PY - 2013 DA - 2013 SP - 36 EP - 45 PB - US Department of State.

There is a wide range of materials available for ER, including graded readers--novels and short stories that are calibrated to the different language levels of learners. Consequently, intensive reading, accompanied by comprehension questions and language analysis tasks, continued to dominate in Korean classrooms. In order to offer an alternative to this trend, the authors developed the Bimodal Narrative Approach (BNA). This bimodal (reading and listening) approach adheres to many of the main precepts of ER and expands the method by adding listening activities to the extensive reading of a graded reader novel and accompanying audio pack. This article describes how the BNA was taught to a group of public school teachers participating in an in-service training program, including specific reading and listening activities and their evaluation. Video-based activities and evaluation are also discussed.

The philosophy gained popularity among educators in a variety of disciplines and was adopted by teachers of foreign languages. That method was based on the premise that if students feel better about themselves, they will achieve greater results as learners. Additionally, the philosophy said, the more inclined students are to share their feelings, interests, values, hopes, and dreams, the stronger and more self-confident they will be. This innovation in teaching was known as the humanistic approach to education, and exercises developed for the classroom were referred to as humanistic activities. Today, with the increasing popularity of social media, students have new forums where they can share their feelings with others. Traditionally, humanistic activities designed for the classroom have not been dependent on advanced technology, so they serve as realistic possibilities for teachers in nearly every context. But because an increasing number of teachers and students have access to the Internet, the exercises described in this article are also Internet-adaptable, and they include instructions for using web platforms such as chat rooms (also known as message boards or online forums) or more recent innovations such as the web-cam chat and a social network. This article presents four humanistic exercises that have been adapted for this new era in global communication. These exercises are examples of ways that humanistic teaching can add to classroom learning whether using chat rooms, Nings (an online social network with membership limited to individuals who are invited to join and participate), or other social media.

The author presents ways to use these books, addresses the twin goals of teaching mechanics and culture, and includes a list of books and a wide variety of activities that EFL teachers can use to effectively teach adult and adolescent learners. The author explains that the narrative of a good children's book flows with a steady rhythm that makes it an excellent read-aloud. Whatever the medium, children's book illustrations create a bond between the reader's eyes and ears. Wherever possible, EFL teaching and learning should include viewing and critical analysis of text/print, color, pictures, icons, photographs, graphics, movement, sound, and music. When instructors have little or no access to technology or print resources, picture storybooks can help them introduce and blend the skills of viewing and representing. In settings where the Internet and technology are available, EFL teachers can use picture storybooks to introduce the important roles that color, shape, design, and texture play in comprehension and communication.

When teachers differentiate instruction, they consciously and conscientiously make the content, processes, and learning outcomes of instruction accessible to all students, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, language, or differing abilities. Chien describes one technique for differentiated instruction that she employs in her classes--the strategy to improve reading comprehension known as "Question Answer Relationships" (QARs) (Taffy E. Raphael, "Improving Question-Answering Performance through Instruction", 1982)--and describes the four types of QARs: (1) Right There; (2) Think and Search; (3) Author and You; and (4) On Your Own. She also discusses the demonstrated beneficial effect on learner engagement and reading ability using the picture book, "The Carrot Seed" by Ruth Krauss. Chien concludes that QARs can be a part of any literacy program designed to help students become strategic, independent readers and competent writers.

The Water Treaty of 1944 added Water to the title as roles in water management along the border were more defined. The primary duties of the USIBWC are to work with the Mexican Commission (CILA) to oversee issues dealing with the International Boundary in land, water and treaty issues. In the last 10 years as the infrastructure has aged, attention to archeology has been more focused for Cultural Resource Management. Over half of the US/Mexican boundary is the Rio Grande river in Texas with the rest as land and the Colorado River, west to the Pacific Ocean. Our projects in the past year have focused on resource management but also in geoarcheological methods and testing. This presentation will address a history of some of the projects we have been working on. These have been geoarcheological testing at Fort Brown, TX, (1846-1945) and at Fort Bliss, TX, (1879-1893), Amistad and Falcon Reservoirs on the Rio Grande with Paleoindian sites to Historic Ranchos, and Kirk Bryan's work on Falcon Reservoir in the 1950's in geomorphology before the area was flooded. Our final analysis is how sites are being affected by the rivers along the border and the mitigation and research measures we are completing.

Based on previous GSA presentations, this EMBed teaching methodology has assisted geoscience instructors think "outside the box" in geologic instruction. Demonstrating improved methods, and revised older ones, with new equipment in an archeological field school has shown that teaching students with disabilities have changed historically and today. By using new tools for instruction, such as pXRF (Portable X-ray Fluorescence) and field instruction using EMBed has improved students' cognitive skills in understanding stratigraphy, archeology and various geologic theories. This presentation will address how EMBed methods have been used to provide enhanced access to content for students with visual, learning and other disabilities.

A glossary provides related vocabulary, a sidebar called "Romance of the Rails" adds colorful detail about train songs and railroad lore. An additional section, "Classroom Activities," by John Silver, presents three stand-alone language-learning activities related to trains: (1) "Train Lineups," designed for students at the Intermediate level and up, encourages students to speak and listen to one another and to cooperate to achieve an objective; (2) "Train Dictadraw," for Intermediate students, helps students practice and produce vocabulary related to trains by describing and drawing; (3) "Who Gets to Ride?" is for Intermediate and higher levels and can be used to develop pair or group cooperation and critical thinking skills.

The classroom practices can be used in addition to a prescribed reading curriculum, for as little as ten minutes per week, to improve students' reading abilities. (Contains 3 figures.)

Verification works best with known feed material, but with unknown feed isotopics the production of low and high enriched uranium may still be distinguished based on tails measurements. Estimating product masses is harder, and concealment scenarios are discussed. With traditional nuclear accounting, relationships between product and waste isotopics, or "nuclear archaeology," can increase confidence in the accuracy of declarations of past fissile material production.

Barriers to equal treatment and opportunity are coming down. Recognition that LGBT rights are universal rights is gaining ground. While much work remains to be done, the trend, finally, is positive. But greater respect for LGBT rights and inclusion of LGBT people still is not a worldwide movement. In too many countries, it is illegal to be gay, punishable by imprisonment and even death. In some societies, the simple assertion of human rights and fundamental freedoms by members of the LGBT community -- rights enshrined in international law -- is met with oppression, abuse and ostracism. LGBT people become targets simply because of who they are. Their treatment in these countries and societies is grotesque and unacceptable. Adapted from the source document.

Hershberg and Zoltan Szoke, this article discusses Romania's involvement in the attempts to negotiate a peaceful conclusion to the Vietnam War before and after the Tet Offensive. The literature concerning the Romanian channel (codenamed Packers) is negligible thus far. Part of the reason is that even though official U.S. documentation on Packers has been available for two decades, relevant Romanian documents were only recently declassified by the archive of the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The new evidence from the Romanian archives completes the picture of what was, in effect, the last U.S. chance to begin negotiations over Vietnam without compromising the initial U.S. position. The conversations between Romanian Deputy Foreign Minister George Macovescu and Vietnamese Communist leaders on the eve of the Tet Offensive offer a much more detailed inside look at Hanoi's negotiating position in December 1967-January 1968. The Romanian documents also show the crystallization of the Vietnamese position of March 1968 with regard to opening talks and the San Antonio formula. Adapted from the source document.

Women's issues existed on the margins, segregated from the more 'strategic' issues of war, peace, and economic stability. Now, in a time of transformative change -- from the rise of new economic powers to a growing chorus of voices against repressive regimes in the Arab world -- promoting the status of women is not just a moral imperative but a strategic one; it's essential to economic prosperity and to global peace and security. It is, in other words, a strategy for a smarter foreign policy. In the past, U.S. diplomacy and development efforts were conducted in a manner that was gender neutral at best. As a growing body of research shows, however, the world's most pressing economic and political problems simply cannot be solved without the participation of women. Adapted from the source document.

Almost any language-instruction program requires the preparation and administration of tests, and it is only to the extent that certain common testing mistakes have been avoided that such tests can be said to be worthwhile selection, diagnostic, or evaluation instruments. The list of common testing problems provided in this article is by no means exhaustive, but it has been drawn from wide experience with tests prepared for classroom and district use, and may therefore be said to be representative. It is intended as a kind of checklist to serve as a guideline for EFL teachers in the preparation of their own examinations. This article, originally published in 1982, is designed to help EFL teachers prepare effective selection, diagnostic, and evaluation instruments by avoiding common testing mistakes. Such mistakes are discussed under the categories of "general examination characteristics," "item characteristics," "test-validity concerns," and "administrative and scoring issues."

This article deals with the presentation component. Its main thesis is this: Since the ultimate goal of language learning is communication, classroom presentation should, from the outset, be directed toward the development of communication skills. Learning requires practice, but this practice should be communication practice, not mere pattern practice. The author develops this theme by considering the following four topics: (1) The nature and form of communication-practice drills; (2) The psychological preparation for communication; (3) The introduction of new content in communication practice; and (4) The relationship of communication practice to textbook and curriculum.

However, it is equally likely that this approach to language teaching has also presented challenges as the teacher strives to find the proper balance between the content and the language of the course. When the course in question consists of pre-service, content-based teachers who also happen to be language learners, the struggle to balance the instruction of content--including theory, subject matter, and practical skills--with language can be a daunting task. This article addresses some challenges inherent in conveying successful content language teaching methods and offers five sample activities that focus on making the methodology explicit, which will be invaluable when the students enter their future careers as language teachers.

But even in these obvious matters, the information that the dictionary has to offer is not always accurately interpreted. With respect to pronunciation there seem to be two general pitfalls: (1) the interpretation of whatever pronouncing key the dictionary employs; and (2) the supposed superior credibility of the "first" pronunciation. Inspired by questions from language teachers, this discussion of dictionaries (reprinted from 1974) explores their utility in determining pronunciation, meaning, and points of grammar and makes recommendations about the kind of dictionaries teachers should use with their students.

Properly planned, constructed, and employed, such aids can help not only to improve the overall language program but also to enhance the classroom atmosphere and to ensure greater student participation. On assignments abroad in 1963 and 1965, the author spent much time in the classroom teaching English as a foreign language. This classroom experience abroad proved both educational and motivating to him. In this article, the author shares his experiences and observations. He offers ideas about using visual aids in the language classroom and includes specific suggestions for using such things as blackboards, flip charts, slip charts, mock-ups, catalogs and magazines, and language films.

Although these monolingual online dictionaries contain definitions, pronunciation guides, and other elements normally found in general-use dictionaries, they are compiled with native or near-native speakers of English in mind, not for learners of English. English learners tend to gravitate to these dictionaries because they are seemingly unaware of other dictionaries that are specifically designed for them. Research on dictionary use in second language teaching indicates learners of English gain much when they become familiar with dictionary features. For this reason, ESL/EFL teachers should learn about and introduce the several excellent online dictionaries with features especially designed for learners of English. These online dictionaries promote strategic and effective word learning, but it is critical for learners to be trained by teachers who are familiar with proper dictionary use so that the online dictionaries are used to maximum benefit in the classroom. The best online learner dictionaries include: (1) a corpus-based compilation of words; (2) word frequency data; (3) collocation guides; (4) authentic examples of how words are used; and (5) topical vocabulary from different disciplines. This article helps teachers become aware of these important features and also provides suggestions on how to integrate dictionary-related exercises into their ESL/EFL lesson plans.

For an excellent overview of issues to consider when publishing an academic article, the authors recommend Malcolm Benson's article in the April 1994 "Forum". Much less has been written about how a focus on the overall structure of the paper can help the reader and editor evaluate ideas and produce more readable articles. The authors wish to demonstrate that the format of the article and flow of ideas is not arbitrary but serves to help the reader identify what kind of information can be found where. Following certain discourse guidelines will not only make an article easier to read but will, in fact, raise the possibility that it will be published. To make these ideas more concrete, in this article the authors focus on the problem-solution organization. A "how to" piece on using the problem-solution approach to writing academic articles, this article explores defining the audience, defining the author, and evaluating the structure of an article, and it outlines helpful questions for writers and readers.

However, deciding which testing alternatives are the most appropriate for a particular language education context can be daunting, especially given the increasing variety of instruments, procedures, and practices available for language testing. Such alternatives include not only test types with long traditions of use, but also tests differing in scope and structure from these well-known options. Faced with such an array of language testing alternatives, how are those people responsible for language testing to choose and use tests that are appropriate for their particular needs? Furthermore, on what basis can language teachers evaluate whether language tests are actually doing what they are supposed to be doing? This article looks at various instruments, procedures, and practices for language testing and offers strategies for determining which assessment options are most appropriate in various contexts. The author offers three general recommendations to help language teachers and others select, use, and evaluate language tests and related alternatives in a purposeful manner. These recommendations are: (1) focus on assessment, not simply tests; (2) clarify the intended use of the test; and (3) evaluate the outcomes of assessment. (Contains 1 figure.)

This seems to be a notion shared by language teachers all over the world. While some instructors are very keen on working with this special age group, others are not fond of the challenge. The truth is that teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) to teens has never been easy. According to recent research in the neurosciences, the reasons for that may lie in the maturing brain of the adolescent. At their age, teens are undergoing many physical and cognitive changes that manifest themselves in the classroom. For example, teachers may have noticed that some teenage students talk non-stop and are usually not that enthusiastic about the activities planned for a lesson. What is worse is that even if students do cooperate, they can stay focused only if they manage not to fall asleep! In order to provide some understanding about this age group's typical behaviors, this article explores some of the changes that the brain undergoes during adolescence. Then it describes some activities and techniques to help teenagers stay focused and, hopefully, succeed in learning English. (Contains 1 figure.)

Although this article draws examples from the South Korean context, it is assumed that the problems described and the solutions proposed can be applied to contexts worldwide. (Contains 1 figure.)

In most classrooms today, English is taught through communicative textbooks that provide neither accompanying tests nor any guidance for test construction. Teachers are on their own in constructing tests to measure student progress and performance. The result is they write traditional grammar-based items in a discrete-point format that does not fit the communicative orientation of the textbook or the underlying teaching principles. Yet progress testing has a crucial role. This article offers a rationale for testing and presents guidelines for designing appropriate tests.

Airplane mechanics cannot repair engines without sophisticated diagnostics, wrenches, and pliers. Surgeons cannot operate without scalpels and clamps. In contrast, teaching has often been perceived as a profession requiring only students, chalk, and a blackboard in order for learning to take place. There might be some truth to this perception of simplicity, but effective English teachers generally rely upon a number of tools--approaches, activities, and basic materials--to make teaching efficient and learning enjoyable. English teachers often assemble their own professional toolboxes, collecting essentials, both physical and conceptual. This introduction to three reprinted articles identifies tools, such as visual aids and dictionaries, used by effective teachers.

Teachers want their students to genuinely communicate with each other in socially acceptable ways, and at the same time become more aware of cultural traits. What is needed in a classroom is a reaction that is real because it is spontaneous. This is where jokes and funny stories can come in handy. In a classroom setting made up of students from the same linguistic and cultural background, a laugh or a groan is at least a more immediate and sincere response to a speech act than the granting of an invented request or the acceptance of an unowned apology. The value of relating a funny story lies in the commitment required of the student telling it and in the observable and sincere response that he/she elicits from the student who listens to it. Rarely do these elements intrude on the English classroom. In the telling of a funny story, the commitment resides not with the truth of information being expressed, or even one's adherence to a view point about an issue--the usual kinds of activities in classrooms. Usually these two varieties of commitment lead to obviousness on the one hand or unfair culpability on the other. Telling funny stories makes a student accountable for the success of the speech act itself, i.e. the proof is in the pudding. Likewise, the responses to a funny story are not programmed by either the student's own culture or that of the teacher. Rather, they are the result of real cultural factors: the sense of humor extent in the L2 culture that may or may not be shared with the L1 culture. They are signaled explicitly by the behavior, not just the word, of the participants. In this article, the author provides an activity on story jokes. (Contains 1 footnote.)

When they read stories, especially those concerning crime, love, or adventure, they not only want to find out what is happening or has happened, but they generally make some kind of guess as to what is likely to happen next. Where there is no such curiosity on the part of the reader, a detective story becomes a pointless tale of violence that few intelligent people would take the trouble to read. Teachers can exploit this innate curiosity when teaching pupils to read a foreign language. Teaching of a certain kind may actually inhibit curiosity. This can be particularly serious when teachers are trying to teach reading and comprehension to students who have little or no written literature in their own language, and where the tendency has been to treat written texts in a "school language" like French or English merely as material for commentary, definition, analysis, manipulation, or translation, but never, never, as a medium of communication--a means of finding things out or making them happen. It is noticeable that in most of the language textbooks used by such students, although the reading texts are in the target language, the instructions for doing exercises and so on are in the mother or vehicular tongue. The latter remains for them the "real" language; the target language is just something one has to study. In this article, the author describes briefly some of the ways he used to arouse curiosity and deepen comprehension. (Contains 1 footnote.) JF - English Teaching Forum AU - Butler, John H.

Many new EFL teachers learned English in a traditional context that emphasized memorization and grammar, but after four years of studying pedagogy, they have become very knowledgeable about current communicative teaching methods. As they enter the profession, they wonder how to shape the future of English teaching so that their students are supported and motivated by meaningful and relevant activities. In order to address this issue, five final-year teaching students at the Universidad de Magallanes in Punta Arenas, Chile--co-authors of this article--undertook an action research project to implement a communicative activity for students. They targeted students at basic proficiency levels and carried out their research in their individual teaching practice contexts. During the project, these pre-service teachers pinpointed speaking skills as an area of communication that they wanted to improve for their students. In the course of the action research project, the pre-service teachers applied what they had learned in their degree program about successful communicative activities. As they researched interactive speaking activities that would work in the context of the public school system, they discovered a lesson plan that could be adapted to create a collaborative and highly communicative project that was ideal for their students. In this article the pre-service teachers: (1) describe their rationale for a Film Circle project adapted from Fink's (2011) Literature Circle lesson plan; (2) provide information about the development and administration of the project; (3) evaluate its effectiveness; and (4) offer suggestions for reproducing the project in other classrooms.

Rodari provides a list of recipes and concoctions for developing writing practice. Some of his ideas have already been tested, but the authors have tried to test all of his ideas, and can say that these experiments with intermediate students have been successful. They believe the reasons for their success are these: (1) The exercises have been devised to motivate the students to use and improve their writing skills; (2) Most of them are done as pair work or group work, which facilitates communication between the students; (3) The exercises usually consist of two or three parts, so that they are not too long and boring. The students must do the first part well in order to accomplish the second; (4) Most important of all, they require the students to exercise imagination; and (5) The exercises require the students to establish relationships between concepts, ideas, and words outside of normal use, which forces them to review their primary use. This is a further semantic step. All these reasons can be summed up in one: the exercises are an "imaginative approach" to teaching varieties of writing. To show what these exercises are like, the authors describe some of them, adding illustrative examples where necessary.

In this article, the author describes methodological developments in the field of English language teaching over the past 25 years. The author has found it helpful to think of methodology being depicted as a triangle, with each angle of the triangle representing a basic area of the field. The first angle might be termed language learning/language learner. Questions addressed from this perspective include "what is the nature of the language acquisition/learning process," "who is doing the learning," and "what are the factors that influence the learner?" The second angle has to do with the subject matter language teachers teach. "What is the nature of language/culture" is the question dealt with in this angle. The third angle comprises both language teaching as a process and the role of the language teacher as an agent in the process. It is defined in part by answers to the questions posed in the other two angles. Each of these perspectives is indispensable to viewing methodology as a whole. The author considers each of these angles in turn in reviewing developments during the past 25 years. Teaching is a matter of making informed choices. Teachers' choices are like those of artists who have full palettes of paint from which they can choose a little of this color and some of another. Artists' choices are not random; they are driven by what artists are trying to achieve and they are assessed by the artists every step of the way to assure that the choices being made are congruent with their purpose. Art teachers can help art students become aware of the options they have by, for example, having them study art history to review the choices others have made. They can also help by working with their students to perfect their technique. But it is incumbent upon the artists themselves to create their unique blend that is their own special contribution to others. And so it is with teaching. Only those who are intimately acquainted with the situation, with the students, and with themselves can make the choices they are uniquely suited to make. It is, after all, only the teachers who will be there assess the outcome of the choices they make. It is only the teachers who are there to make sure that they know why they are doing what they are doing.

The themes that teachers choose to integrate into their language classrooms may reflect serious issues (e.g., elections, civic responsibility) or more lighthearted subjects (e.g., the Olympics, video games). Other themes may focus on global events (e.g., natural disasters, globalization) or on students' communities (e.g., local holidays, respected leaders). When using content as a vehicle for English instruction, language teachers provide students the opportunity to not only develop language skills, but also to become more informed citizens, both locally and globally. After teachers select the themes that form the backbone of their curricula, they can ask students to identify topics of interest within the overarching theme, thereby creating a more learner-centered classroom and giving students more control of their learning. The authors also showcase three sample activities that teachers can adapt--taking into consideration their own students' language abilities, ages, and background knowledge, and the language emphases of the classroom--to integrate language and "green" content learning: (1) Activity No. 1 (Appendix 1) involves a classroom scavenger hunt, during which students practice reading and speaking while learning about a variety of environmental topics; (2) Activity No. 2 (Appendix 2) highlights a group paragraph-writing task that recycles green content introduced through reading and/or listening activities; and (3) Activity No. 3 (Appendix 3) revolves around a song that reinforces the importance of the three "Rs": Reduce-Reuse-Recycle.

Her point then was that during the preceding years from 1962 to 1987, the language teaching field had diversified: Where earlier there had been a unified approach to language teaching, by 1987, many options existed. Today, as she writes on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of "Forum," the author perceives a different pattern. She sees diversity "within" unity, not as an alternative to it. She begins this article by briefly summarizing the main theme of her 1987 article. Next, she turns to the triangle that she used then to depict the language teaching field. In each of the three angles of the triangle, she placed the major categories of language/culture, language learners/learning, and language teachers/teaching. In this article, the author revisits each of the angles, making observations that support her contention that today there is diversity within unity. She concludes by stepping back from this analysis of the field and by stating why she feels that the theme that she has chosen for her article in this 50th anniversary issue is important to everybody.

Alatis AN - 1031153660; EJ971238 AB - James E. Alatis has a distinguished career in Foreign Language teaching and Bilingual Education that spans 50 years. Early in his career he served as a language researcher for the U.S. Departments of Education and State. At Georgetown University in Washington, District of Columbia (DC), he has been a professor of linguistics and Modern Greek since 1966 and was dean of the School of Languages and Linguistics from 1973 to 1994. His record of professional service is outstanding; he has served numerous national and international organizations in management and advisory positions. For 21 years, Dr. Alatis was the executive director of the international association Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). During his tenure, TESOL grew from 337 members in its first year (1966) to over 12,000 in 1987. Dr. Alatis has also been chair of the annual Georgetown University Round Table on Languages and Linguistics. He has published dozens of articles in scholarly journals, written and edited numerous books, and delivered hundreds of presentations at conferences around the world. When TESOL created an annual award to recognize outstanding and extended professional service, it was named the James E. Alatis Award in honor of his years of vision and leadership. TESOL also established the James E. Alatis Plenary Session at its annual convention. In this interview, Dr. Alatis talks about his career and shares his personal vision of the future of the English teaching profession. (Contains 4 notes.)

In the author's experience, teaching language skills through mechanical exercises and traditional fill-in-the-blank, true/false, and multiple-choice assessments does not interest students as much as teachers expect. This fact inspired the author to consider lively, interesting, and meaningful contexts and materials. Although the mechanical exercises and supplementary materials in resource books are useful--and she uses a variety of them herself--they do not energize her students. But when she goes creative, especially when teaching grammar, in a way students do not expect, she can clearly see the difference. This article suggests a motivating way to teach grammar with audiovisual techniques, with an example of a lesson on teaching modals of speculation that express degrees of certainty (e.g., "may," "might," "could," "couldn't").

These students were born into a world of information technology; they prefer to multitask rather than focus on one thing at a time, and they can be more attracted to the ideas of a peer or a web video than what their teachers have to offer. This generation has been given different names, including Net Gen, the Millennials, and Generation Y (Gen Y). Because Gen Y's members are young, it is fair to say that most English as a Second/Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) learners belong to this cohort, making it worthy of teachers' attention and understanding. While Gen Y receives substantial attention in the professional literature of many fields, this is not true of ELT journals. This lack of attention is unfortunate because most English language learners are Gen Yers. This article addresses this gap by informing ELT professionals about the nature of Gen Y and presenting a few teaching strategies designed to engage this generation in the English classroom.

The author thinks this is seldom the case. Language teachers need to see English as essentially an educative subject, linked to the cognitive development of learners, rather than as something isolated from the rest of the curriculum. Unfortunately, in many classrooms throughout the world, little true education takes place. Instead, there is rote learning of material irrelevant to the learners' interests. Language teachers need to be aware of the educational potential of English in such circumstances. To fully realize this potential they need to look outside the confines of English language teaching itself. There is now a considerable body of work that focuses on the conditions under which children learn most effectively. This work relates both to the internal processes involved in apprehending and storing information and to the most favorable conditions for the operation of these processes. In this article, the author considers the relevance of this work to the teaching of English. He deals with it under five main headings: (1) reduction of coercion; (2) active learner involvement; (3) experience before interpretation; (4) avoidance of oversimplification; and (5) the value of silence.

The essence of teaching is difficult to qualify, but that line leads directly into the author's most essential criterion. In this article, the author discusses ten characteristics of a good teacher which can be separated into four areas: (1) affective characteristics; (2) skills; (3) classroom management techniques; and (4) academic knowledge.

The first comparison is that Dr. Alatis and the author both have taught in their home country, the United States, and in other countries. Second, Dr. Alatis and the author are both bilingual. Third, Dr. Alatis and the author have both held administrative positions. Fourth, and the most important parallel to the author now, is professional service. Throughout his career in English language teaching, the author has worked with many professional organizations to hold national Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) conferences and to provide teacher training, but until recently, he never actually served. About four years ago, a group of like-minded colleagues in New Mexico formed a professional TESOL association in New Mexico. Finally, for the first time in his career, the author volunteered to provide service. He encourages readers of "English Teaching Forum" to get involved in professional service.

Elderly emigres struggled to leave Austria, and when they could not, they contributed to a disproportionate aging of the Austrian Jewish community as compared to the Austrian population. Elderly emigres have not received a great deal of attention from historians. Yet they faced many unique challenges, which are discussed in this article. Using previously untranslated letter collections and a variety of memoirs, this article explores the emigration attempts of several elderly Austrian Jews. These case studies demonstrate that elderly emigres are worthy of further study and point to the importance of contextualizing the emigration of elderly individuals in family emigration and reunification efforts.

At issue was the parliament's ratification of a lease extension for Russia's Black Sea Fleet in the Ukrainian port of Sevastopol, Crimea. The lease was due to expire in 2017, but will now (most likely, although nothing is ever set in stone in Ukrainian politics) continue through 2042. In exchange, Ukraine will receive a roughly 30 percent discount on natural gas imports from Russia, worth up to $40 billion over 10 years. Crimea is at much greater risk for violence than most people assume, including those in Moscow feting the lease extension, because of two flawed tenets of conventional wisdom. The first holds that Russia wants to annex Crimea and is merely waiting for the right opportunity, most likely under the pretense of defending Russian brethren abroad. The second tenet, common both inside and outside of Ukraine, is that Russia poses the greatest security threat to Crimea. Adapted from the source document.

The strengthening of ASEAN and India's cooperation has already bore fruit with the implementation of the ASEAN-India free trade area. However, political security relations have not been fully examined especially if there are possibilities of potential conflicting policy directions. This article aims to contribute to further understanding of ASEAN and India's political and security relations through ASEAN's non-traditional security priorities in assessing potential threats to the region. There are indeed policy areas where ASEAN and India do not see eye to eye such as on issues of nuclear proliferation and human rights. However, because of the mutuality of interest between them, potential conflicts can be resolved. Reprinted by permission of Sage Publications India JF - India quarterly AU - Amador, III, Julio S.

Egypt's former first lady Suzanne Mubarak was responsible for establishing both library systems as well as the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. In post-Mubarak Egypt, libraries will play a critical role in building a civil society and are critical to Egypt's social and economic well-being. However, the civil unrest which resulted in violent outbreaks has caused damage to many Egyptian libraries. The Al-Bahr Al-Azam Library in Giza saw its books, computer equipment, and furniture stolen by thieves and worse, was even burned, resulting in the loss of more than 19,000 volumes. In this article, the author, an Information Resource Officer with the U.S. Department of State' Foreign Service, shares his perspective of these events and what he thinks of the trials and opportunities now faced by libraries in Egypt.

Students read texts that match their language level, and they choose the time and place to read. Extensive reading "is generally associated with reading large amounts with the aim of getting an overall understanding of the material." In other words, the purpose is to get the main idea of the text rather than a complete, detailed understanding of every grammatical, thematic, and discourse element, as would be done with "intensive reading" tasks. Extensive reading allows students to find pleasure in reading as they gain a general understanding of literary ideas, learn reading strategies, acquire new vocabulary, and increase their English proficiency. Since students read a large amount of material both inside and outside of the classroom, it is important for the teacher to make the objectives clear and properly monitor the students' progress. This includes knowing how to make reading interesting for students and also what assignments and assessment procedures contribute to a successful reading project. This article discusses the rationale for using extensive reading of literary texts in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom and describes how to integrate writing tasks with a reading project by using a "reading log" (also known as a reading journal, a response journal, or a reading diary) for pre-, during-, and post-reading activities. Finally, the author describes assessment procedures for the combined reading and writing tasks. (Contains 1 table.)

While it is not a problem to accept this dual role, the complication lies in choosing what type of cultural content to include in their lessons. First, they have to decide whether a cultural component means focusing on daily living tips like etiquette and other cultural differences or on popular culture such as music, TV, or movie clips. Furthermore, when the language being taught is English, they have to consider which culture they are talking about. Depending on one's perspective, "The Simpsons" might seem either a strange or an obvious choice for inclusion in EFL classes. On the air since 1989, "The Simpsons" is now the longest-running animated series in American TV history. It focuses on the misadventures of nuclear power plant employee Homer Simpson, his wife Marge, and their three children--troublemaker Bart, teacher's pet Lisa, and pacifier-sucking baby Maggie. Set in the mythical town of Springfield, the show is a humorous parody of the American family. Some teachers may feel that it is not serious enough, considering that it is a mere cartoon. However, the show is an American institution that can be used in the English language classroom as a springboard for exploring American culture. This article offers ideas on how to use "The Simpsons" as a source of authentic sociocultural teaching materials for EFL students and describes how to use clips of the show to arrange lessons into pre-, during-, and post-viewing activities to help students learn English and understand important elements of American culture and society.

Knowing more than one language is a necessity for many people worldwide, whether it is because their parents come from different language backgrounds, because their home, regional, national, or school languages are different, or for a variety of other reasons. Knowledge of more than one language is a valuable asset when one wants to learn subsequent languages; unfortunately, multilingual students often take the value of their own language knowledge for granted and do not take full advantage of what they already know how to do. Nevertheless, EFL teachers can tap into their students' familiarity with multiple languages to advance learning and accomplish what one EFL student referred to as "bringing one language to another." Engaging in and reflecting on activities that draw on multilingual experience is beneficial to students, their teachers, and to anyone who wants to add a new dimension to language teaching and learning. This article shows how a lesson for university undergraduate EFL students in Indonesia was adapted for students of different ages, levels, and language contexts. The goal is to connect the acquisition of English with the students' previous language knowledge and make this multilingual awareness a part of oral discussions, written assignments, and projects in the classroom.

They like the way languages work, they are intrigued by differences between their native tongues and other languages, and they enjoy the process of helping their students learn. Most language teachers have had positive experiences as language students themselves somewhere along the paths to their own classrooms. Positive experiences learning a foreign language certainly contribute greatly to the attraction of teaching one. Most language teachers have learned a language in a classroom setting (and many have also learned a second language in more nontraditional settings, such as immersion in a new language either because of travel or while living in foreign countries). The author is an English language teacher who has been teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) for many years. However, until recently, it had been many years since she had learned a foreign language in a "classroom setting". And that is what she did for six focused months. As a requirement for a job, she studied in an intensive language training program. It was a fascinating and often difficult experience that gave her a renewed understanding of language learning: there will always be a distance, however subtle, between teacher and student, even in the most student-centered classroom. That experience of once again being a student in a language classroom caused her to reexamine her beliefs about classroom practice. Some of her beliefs were confirmed, and some were challenged. In this article, she examines those beliefs. The language that she studied was Russian, but she believes that her experience as a language learner can be generalized across most language learning experiences.

Once considered the province of grannies and expectant mothers stitching layettes, knitting is enjoying a 21st century resurgence, especially among young people. Knitting, it turns out, is a trendy, often eco-friendly pastime with a wide range of appeals. And, thanks to the Internet, modern knitters can share knowledge and ideas through virtual knitting circles that span the nation and even the globe. Whatever a knitter's background, interest, or skill level, a compatible knitting circle is only a click away. (Contains 4 online resources.)

Roosevelt's motivations in pressing for Indian independence were varied. They included a mix of principled opposition to colonialism, practical concern for the outcome of the war and pragmatic jockeying for influence with post-colonial nations when the war was won. Churchill's government was wary of being pushed by Washington to move more quickly to "quit India" than it thought prudent. U.S. policy and actions clearly influenced the direction of events toward independence, but U.S. caution as the war ground on led to disillusionment among nationalist leaders. This reaction would have consequences once swaraj was won and India came into its own, at a time when the Cold War was becoming the dominant factor in America's view of the world.

This article discusses two examples: the Sudan-Ugandan proxy war of the 1990s and the Sudan-Chad proxy war that has fed the conflict in Darfur. In these cases, the states aimed to alter regional power structures through cross-border rebel support. This support generated a perpetual Prisoners' Dilemma whereby the patron governments refused to end proxy support unless the other side did as well, but had little reason to trust that the other side would do so. The Sudan-Uganda and Sudan-Chad peace processes succeeded in reaching agreement, but failed in implementation. Permanent resolution of such complex, persistent, and deadly conflicts requires conflict analyses that take a regional view; conflict mediation that seeks to alter the underlying conflict dynamics through addressing the motivations of both patrons and proxies; and implementation agreements backed by strong guarantees.

Aquino III perceive national security challenges, and how will the government respond to them? This paper examines several primary documents and gives an account of the security environment prevailing in the Philippines. It also gives an overview of the national security policy framework that the Aquino administration uses in responding to security challenges. This paper also contributes to existing theoretical debates on the nexus between human security and national security through its analysis of the development of human security and national security thought in the Philippines. It points out that empirical evidence shows that national security is not state-centric, but rather human-centric in conception, and that this approach has been institutionalized over time. The main findings are: 1) The Philippines is beset by various global, regional, and domestic challenges; 2) these challenges are traditional and non-traditional in nature and thus taken up comprehensively by the Philippines; and 3) the Philippines uses a human security approach to its national security concerns. This approach has been accepted by the armed and defense services as the means by which they will also implement their mandates. Such an approach is only a fulfillment of the Philippines' own constitutional provision which identifies the people as the source of sovereignty. The human security approach, however, needs to be further institutionalized through implementation and effective policy frameworks. Adapted from the source document.

According to the American Sportfishing Association, fishing is a hobby pursued by some 40 million Americans, including more than 8 million youngsters between the ages of 6 and 15. Part of fishing's appeal is that it is accessible to all ages and every pocketbook. Any youngster with a stick, string, and hook, and some wriggly worms for bait, can try his or her luck in the local stream or pond. Serious fishermen, on the other hand, can easily invest thousands of dollars in boats and specialized fishing gear with which to pursue their favorite kind of fishing. Most sport fishing is done with a rod, reel, line, hooks, and a wide variety of baits and lures. Specific kinds of fishing most popular in the United States include: (1) Bass fishing; (2) Fly fishing; (3) Deep sea fishing; and (4) Ice fishing.

In addition to discussing the benefits of the process approach to writing, this article illustrates how teachers can take advantage of some of the latest Internet technology to promote writing tasks in the ESL/EFL classroom. Two specific lessons that were applied in an advanced skills-integrated English course exemplify how to supplement regular classroom activities with the interactive and multimodal features of two online social media platforms--a blog and a Ning network. The activities described in this article exemplify how web-based social networking tools offer excellent opportunities to conduct the pre-writing, drafting, peer review, and revising steps of the writing process. In addition to developing important writing and other skills in English and learning to work collaboratively on projects, using the Internet for ESL/EFL instruction also advances students' digital literacy. When writing about topics that are relevant to their needs and interests, students are apt to respond enthusiastically and work collaboratively to craft written work in the types of genres that will benefit them in their academic pursuits and subsequent careers.

By some accounts, CBI has been employed since the ancient Akkadians adopted Sumerian as the medium of instruction to educate their young in science and religion (Mehisto, Frigols, and Marsh 2008, 9). In the modern era, content-based approaches to language instruction have been employed in various forms since at least the 1960s, when Canadian language educators began teaching academic content in French to English mother-tongue children (Stoller 2008). Yet a large proportion of today's teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) have never had the opportunity to try out CBI in their own classrooms--and many of these teachers may lack key professional knowledge and skills that are critical to successful CBI teaching. The purpose of this article is to consider ways that language-teacher education programs can better prepare future CBI teachers. After providing a brief rationale for why CBI approaches are particularly relevant in the 21st century, the author considers the competencies and skills that the language teachers of tomorrow will need to effectively integrate content and language instruction in their courses.

The exercise encourages students to develop and orally defend their choice of four volunteers who will be part of a team to colonize Earth's moon. This oral exercise prepares them for subsequent written work. As Bean (1996, 7) states, "Good writing...grows out of good talking." While the content of this exercise is original, the framework is adapted from similar ones found in many discussion books. For teachers, this exercise is important because it paves the way for future assignments that build on the self-assurance students have acquired around developing and stating opinions publicly, weighing data, creating support, and defending their decisions.

RR is a method where the student reads and rereads a text silently or aloud from two to four times to reach a predetermined level of speed, accuracy, and comprehension. RR supports the learning of English by creating confident readers who enjoy reading, and the three techniques described in this article illustrate how the method can be used to develop fluency, comprehension skills, and greater reading self-esteem.

For some gardeners, raising their own food is a lifestyle choice. With doctors and the government urging consumption of fruits and vegetables to combat obesity and lower the risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, some people see the backyard garden as a short route to healthier eating. An added advantage is that homegrown food is of superior quality. Fruits and vegetables that ripen on the vine taste better than those that are artificially ripened and spend weeks in shipment before they reach the table. While commercially grown produce is often contaminated with unknown amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, gardeners can guarantee the safety of what they grow themselves. Gardeners today are eager to work with nature instead of trying to master it. As they pursue their hobby, they seek practices and products that leave a minimal imprint upon the environment. Eco-friendly gardeners are especially interested in: (1) Less lawn; (2) Native plants; (3) Water conservation; (4) Chemical-free gardening; and (5) Attracting wildlife.

Based on some theoretical concepts that connect English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning with authenticity and communicative competence, he describes two activities he has explored with secondary school learners. The first activity is part of a lesson that involves writing letters to introduce oneself to a group of beginning learners. The second activity, targeted at advanced teenage learners, demonstrates how an "epistolary story"--a story told by a series of diary entries, letters, or other types of writing--can encourage creative writing and language improvement. This activity may be carried out during a long period of time, and its end product is the collection of epistolary stories.

Commonly referred to as Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), or sometimes with the broader term Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL), the field took huge leaps forward during these years. This article focuses on one perhaps lesser-known approach to using technologies in the classroom that was created during this time and that is especially useful for ESL/EFL teachers to consider. The authors describe the model, explain its significance, and then provide activity ideas that teacher educators can use when incorporating the model into professional development workshops or in-service trainings.

Considering the inherent difficulty of the speaking skill, this is understandable. Learners often prefer to interact socially in their native language, allowing them to more effectively express a full range of ideas. In this article, the author discusses Eyes on English, a schoolwide campaign she developed to promote the use of English. This article presents the rationale for implementing Eyes on English and describes how it can help teachers increase English usage through an activity that is practical, fun, and easy to implement.

"Harmonious language learning classroom" is the term the author coined to describe this kind of language learning environment. In order to create harmonious language learning classrooms, teachers must first reduce anxiety, stress, and negative competition amongst their learners. In addition, teachers need to accept their learners for what and who they are. Teachers who teach in harmonious learning classes respect their students' different language learning styles and emphasize a healthy intellectual and emotional attitude toward one's self and others. One way to promote mentally, emotionally, and physically balanced learners is through the use of yoga. She suggests that by utilizing simple yoga poses in English language lessons, teachers can teach various aspects of the English language in a fun and nonthreatening way. With this approach, learners use their bodies to learn, practice, and anchor the language being taught at the same time as they reduce anxiety and help care for mind, body, and spirit.

Just show up at the neighborhood bowling center, rent the required shoes, use the balls provided, and pay a reasonable fee to bowl as many games as one likes. The game itself--rolling a ball down a long wooden lane to strike club-shaped pins--appeals to all ages and is within the abilities of everyone from small children to people in their nineties. Popular bowling activities now include: (1) Cosmic bowling; (2) High-tech gadgetry; (3) Kid appeal; (4) School sport; (5) Family entertainment centers; and (6) Bowling lounges. This article presents a brief history and recent trends of tenpin bowling, the basics of the game, a glossary, and websites of interest. It also describes accessories, such as the bowling shirt, the roomy bag, and the shoes as fashion icons.

These successes were the result of several factors, only some of which were the considerable efforts and resources of the U.S. military, other U.S. agencies, and coalition partners. Although, what worked there is not necessarily replicable in other provinces, given Afghanistan's considerable diversity, some of the strategies seem relevant beyond Nangarhar, particularly efforts at interagency coordination.

Social media contributed to the size and intensity of the Green Movement; its effect on protests was to make them larger, which presumably, exerted political pressure on the regime. A more subtle effect of the social media-augmented protests was to increase world oil prices, a turn of events that indirectly aided the Iranian regime by increasing its revenues. Thus, the effect of social media on the Green Movement was ambiguous, since it both helped and hindered its aims; that is, it increased the challenge to
