We cannotdenythe progressof technologythroughthe years,fasterandfaster,the worldwill be
changedby technology.Almosteveryoneembrace technology,anditistechnologythatmade ourlives
better.Ithas innovateseveryaspectof ourlife andwe can’tlive aday withouttechnology.Butinevery
advantage we see,ithasdisadvantage behind.we cannotdenythatininnovationwe see,italso
increasesthe riskof destroyingmankind.Accordingtosome scientist,byourpresentknowledgeabout
technology,we have the capacitytoeliminatemankind.
Crichton(2001), if we wouldbe eliminate mankind,itonlytakesafew billionyearstoregainearth’slife

Othercountieshave immenseknowledge abouttechnology,sowe have noplace indecision

PERSONAL MASTERY, CONTEMPLATION AND ADULT

ChapterI : Introduction
A. Overview
PeterSenge (1990) coinedthe term“personal mastery”forthe notionof
individuallearningasone of five "disciplines"of the workplace "learning
organization".Foritsabilitytomanage complexityandto helpusto learn,Senge says
implicitinthe practice of personal masteryisa"higherlevel of rapportbetween
normal awarenessand[the] subconscious"(p.162).He suggeststhatto "workmore
productivelywiththe subconsciousmind...people committedtocontinually
developingpersonal masterypractice some formof 'meditation'"(p.164).

Teaching and learning English in a
multilingual classroom
1. Introduction
Changesinlivingconditions,causedbyphenomenalike globalisation,economiccrisesand
civil warsaroundthe world,are amongthe reasonswhylarge numbersof people are in
motion,resultinginnational,transnational and/orinternationalmigration.Swedenalone
receivedroughly44,000 asylumseekersin2012 from about130 differentcountries(SCB,
12. 2013), among whommanywere children.Differentnationalinstitutions,includingschools,
findthemselveswithspecialprogramsthatfighttoothand nail tocater for the immigrants’
learningneeds.
“If youtalkto a manin a language he understands,thatgoestohishead.If you talkto himin
hislanguage,thatgoesto hisheart,”notedNelsonMandela.However,due toemergent
multilingual societies,the needforalinguafranca,
1 whichcouldbe the base for
communicationinlanguage communitieswithoutacommonlanguage,isgrowingsteadily.
For some time English,beingawidelyspreadlanguageandusedforintercultural
communication,hastakenona strongpositioninternationally(Jorda,2005:9; Crystal,
2008:702; Sharifian,2009:1-16). However,fordecades,if notforcenturies,inmany
countriesespeciallyinEurope,monolingualismhasbeenthe norm, andconsequentlya
change to a pluralisticsocietyisbecomingachallenge.The politicaldiscussionbetween
leadersandgrassroot citizensconcerningEnglishasaForeignLanguage,EFL,or Second
Language,ESL, inSwedishmultilingualclassroomshasescalatedinthe lastfew years.Thisis
due to the fact that there isa dividedfocus:The pluralisticideologyisvisible inpolitical
documents;assimilation/immersionissoughtonthe grassroot level (Vetenskapsrådet,
2012:8).
Withthe Swedishratificationof The Council of Europe’sEducationpolicyonpluralismand
the Swedishideologyof “educationforall”regulatedinthe SwedishEducationAct
(2010:800) immigrantchildrenare requiredtoattendEnglishclasses.Inadditiontothat,
The SwedishEducationBoardstipulatesthatthe aimof Englishteaching/learningisto“help

13. TEACHER PERCEPTIONS OF THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM: USING VIDEO
LECTURES ONLINE TO REPLACE TRADITIONAL
IN-CLASS LECTURES
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Educationisone fieldthatisconstantlychangingandadaptingto meetthe needsof
students.Asstudents’learninghabitschange withtheirinterestsinnew technologies,education
mustadapt to match those learninghabits.The usesandbenefitsof implementingtechnologyin
educationhave beenwell documentedinpartby Maierand Warren intheirbook,Integr@ting
TechnologyinLearningandTeaching(2000). However,amore recentstudyconductedby
Eteokleous(2008) foundthat“If teachersbelieve thattheirtraditionalpractice isreasonable,
effective,andefficient,theyare likelytoresistimplementingcomputerinnovations”(p.683).
While there issome resistance,awidespreadpushtowardthe implementationof technologyin
educationispresentthroughoutthe country.“Itiscommonknowledgethattwoemergentthemes
serve asthe drivingforce forintegratingtechnologyintoK-12environments;preparingstudents
for the workforce andincreasingstudentknowledgeandskills”(Lowtheretal.,2008, p. 197).
Nowmore than ever,studentsspendamajorityof theirwakinghoursusingsome sortof
technology.AccordingtoGoogle,YouTube isthe thirdmostvisitedwebsite withover2billion
viewsaday (Gomes,2010). The powerandpopularityof videoisundeniable andcouldbe used
as an assetin the classroom.In2000, Lage,Plattand Treglia(2000) introducedthe ideaof using
technologyto“flip”atraditional classroomenvironment.Inthismethodknownasthe “flipped
classroom,”“invertedclassroom,”or“reverse instruction,”amongothers,whatistraditionally
done inclass isswitchedwithwhatistraditionallydone forhomework.Insteadof students
listeningtoa lecture duringclassandgoinghome to do homework,studentswatchvideolectures
at home and complete whathastraditionallybeenknownashomeworkinclassunderthe
guidance of the instructor.Recently,the flippedclassroommethodhasgrowninpopularityinthe
K-12 sector.What are teachers’perceptionsof the use of the flippedclassroom?
