2 Earlier today we received a strange and intriguing press release from a certain ‘Marmaduke Robida’ claiming to be ‘Director for Public Domain Content’ at Gale Cengage’s UK premises in Andover. Said the press release: Gale, part of Cengage Learning, is thrilled to announce that all its public domain content will be freely accessible on the open web. “On this Public Domain Day, we are proud to have taken such a ground-breaking decision. The press release linked to a website which proudly proclaimed: All Public Domain content to be freely available online. This was met with astonishment by members of our public domain discussion list, many of whom suspected that the news might well be too good to be true. I acknowledge this decision might seem a bit disorientating. I quickly fired off an email to Cengage’s Director of Media and Public Relations to see if they had any comments.
Canada Guest Edition :: Satellite Today Graphic Organizers for Content Instruction One of our roles as ESL and bilingual specialists is to encourage mainstream teachers to employ teaching techniques which make content area information more accessible to second language learners. Content materials present text which is too dense for ELLs. Teach your students to use graphic organizers such as webs, Venn diagrams, and charts to help them better comprehend these texts. These are visual tools that help ELLs understand and organize information. They are like mind maps which promote active learning.

Welcome to the Memphis & Shelby County Film and Television Commission Teaching Speaking Many language learners regard speaking ability as the measure of knowing a language. These learners define fluency as the ability to converse with others, much more than the ability to read, write, or comprehend oral language. They regard speaking as the most important skill they can acquire, and they assess their progress in terms of their accomplishments in spoken communication. Language learners need to recognize that speaking involves three areas of knowledge: In the communicative model of language teaching, instructors help their students develop this body of knowledge by providing authentic practice that prepares students for real-life communication situations.

Home | Gale Digital Collections Media Inc. English As A Second language ( ESL ) and adult literacy classes, Aaron's Army Do not think for a moment that Aaron's work on JSTOR was the random act of a lone hacker, some kind of crazy, spur-of-the-moment bulk download. JSTOR had long come in for withering criticism from the net. Larry Lessig called JSTOR a moral outrage in a talk and I suppose I have to confess he was quoting me. Sequestering knowledge behind pay walls—making scientific journals only available to a few kids fortunate enough to be at fancy universities and charging $20 an article for the remaining 99% of us—was a festering wound. It embarrassed many who wrote those articles that their work had become somebody's profit margin, a members-only country club of knowledge. Many of us helped fan those flames. But JSTOR was just one of many battles. Aaron wasn't a lone wolf, he was part of an army, and I had the honor of serving with him for a decade. He was part of an army of citizens that rejects kings and generals and believes in rough consensus and running code. We looked at and poked at the U.S.
