4 reasons why digital context matters. Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension: Direct, Indirect, and Reciprocal Influences. Metalinguistic Awareness, Comprehension, and the Common Core State Standards. Coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center), the Common Core State Standards have swept the nation, and nearly every state has sanctioned the call for students to read more complex texts. In response, publishers are rapidly preparing more challenging texts, referring to the exemplars listed in Appendix B of the Standards, including works by Sophocles, Alexis de Tocqueville and Fyodor Dostoevsky.

These types of texts will be Waterloo for some students, and the battle begins in kindergarten with a call to understand—and hopefully enjoy—As I was Going to St. Ives. How can teachers help readers meet this challenge? Metalinguistic awareness requires a keener than normal conscious awareness of language. Metalinguistic awareness is a cognitive dynamo. Researchers have long proclaimed the critical role of phonological awareness (PA) in helping children blend and segment sounds in words. What about the brave new Common Core? ~Susan M.

Teaching transcultural competence: From language learning to experiential education | Development Education Review. Introduction Our experiences at the European Parliament have made it very clear that one of the primary sources of misunderstanding, conflict and dispute between individuals, cultural/political groups and nations is a lack of competence in constructive communication skills.

Therefore, it is most satisfying to see both the European Commission and Parliament recently conclude that in order to achieve one of the European Union’s (EU) key strategic goals of raising the quality and standard of student learning across the EU, additional emphasis and resources must be directed toward teaching in general and teacher training in particular. It is also reported that governments, municipalities, schools and teacher training institutions in every corner of Europe recognise the value of language skills and are putting foreign language education recommendations into practice.

Intercultural experience does not equal intercultural competence · Argonaut. Feb 26, 2016 · by Margret Steixner A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions Let’s be honest. This stretch can feel painful.

Intercultural experiences offer a unique platform for self-development. Only by reflecting how this experience affects our own beliefs and attitudes can we gain new insights into our own limitations. Reflection sounds easy, but we often need a professional perspective to get out of our standard loop of interpretations: a well-structured expatriate coaching programme, for example, can multiply the benefits of experience through pre-departure preparation and coaching during the assignment. Change is hard: it requires more than seeing new lands Experience almost certainly builds knowledge, but doesn’t necessary develop behaviour. Experience may give us ideas and information about cultural adaption. Good to know It can be dangerous to assume that you know a lot about how people from a different culture operate. Intercultural Competence - Instructing Global Learners - Research Guides at Marquette University.

Many people are at different levels of intercultural competence. To help visualize where you may be, look at the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) by Milton Bennett (1986). There are six steps to achieving an intercultural mindset: Stage 1: Denial- The ability to recognize the more observable cultural differences, but may avoid or withdraw from these cultural differences.

Stage 2: Polarization- A judgmental orientation that views cultural differences in terms of “us” and “them.” Defense: Critical view of other cultural values. Reversal: Critical view of one’s own cultural values and not critical of the other Stage 3: Minimization – Sees cultural commonality and universal values that may also mask deeper recognition and appreciation of cultural differences.

Stage 4: Acceptance – Recognizes and appreciates patterns of cultural differences and commonalities in one’s own and other cultures. Wordbank: An open database of children's vocabulary development.

Live action role-playing game. Players dressed in character for a LARP event Terminology[edit] LARP has also been referred to as live role-playing (LRP), interactive literature, and free form role-playing. Some of these terms are still in common use; however, LARP has become the most commonly accepted term.[2] It is sometimes written in lowercase, as larp.[3] The live action in LARP is analogous to the term live action used in film and video to differentiate works with human actors from animation.

Playing a LARP is often called larping, and one who does it is a larper. Play overview[edit] Events are put on for the benefit of the players, who take on roles called player characters (PCs) that the players may create themselves or be given by the gamemasters. Much of play consists of interactions between characters. History[edit] Today, LARP is a widespread activity internationally.

Purpose[edit] Most LARPs are intended as games for entertainment. Fiction and reality[edit] A medieval LARP venue, the Duchy of Bicolline Films.

Little Jack Horner sat in a corner Eating a Christmas pie; He put in his thumb, And pulled out a plum, And said "What a good boy am I" Every child has heard of Little Jack Horner, and has played, at some time, Ring a Ring O'Roses, little realising that these seemingly childish rhymes are based on fact.

Little Jack Horner lived in the 1530's, the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the reign of Henry VIII. Jack Horner was steward to Richard Whiting, the last of the Abbots of Glastonbury. It is said that the Abbot, hoping to placate King Henry, sent His Majesty an enormous Christmas pie containing the deeds of 12 manors. Ring a Ring O' Roses, A pocketful of posies, Atishoo! "Ring a Ring O' Roses" is said to be a macabre parody on the horrors of the Great Plague.

Philosophy for Children ‘Philosophy for children’ (P4C) began with the work of Professor Matthew Lipman, who founded the Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children at Montclair State University in 1974. He believed that young children possess the tools needed to think rationally, and through his method of reading philosophically stimulating narratives, he believed that children could be encouraged to respond philosophically. This dialogue-driven method would go on to influence other subsequent approaches of doing philosophy in the classroom. P4C is now practiced in over 60 countries across the World, many of them linked via the International Council of Philosophical Inquiry with Children (ICPIC). P4C in the UK In the UK SAPERE (Society for Philosophical Enquiry and Reflection in Education) was set up in 1992 after interest following the BBC documentary ‘Socrates for 6 year olds’.
