The author was approached to write a Local Studies module for the Ref-Ex reference librarian training program to provide an overview of local studies services and common issues. They initially felt fear about the time commitment and their suitability but those fears were unfounded. Working with colleagues from other libraries, they outlined the module, decided on key concepts and structure. The final module provides an overview of local studies service delivery, key issues and questions, with links to more detailed resources. The author found the collaborative writing process rewarding and is now assisting with another Ref-Ex module.

Schedule a date, book a few rooms, and you're set. This program illustrates how Brooklyn Public Library developed BPL ThinkTank, their first unconference, to provide an informal and open space for creativity and innovation as well as professional development. Tap your staff's collective knowledge to improve morale and service. This program will also feature lessons from Darien Library's inaugural KidLib Camp, a regional unconference for librarians serving children in school and public libraries.

Chapter 8 Do Students Lose More than They Gain in Online Writing Classes? Kate Kiefer Why do we teach writing in relatively small classes? Certainly there are practical reasons having to do with workload and classroom management issues,1 but most of our reasons flow from pedagogical and theoretical concerns. Pedagogically, we know that students are likely to learn most effectively from multiple opportunities to practice with timely feedback on their effectiveness in writing. Even more important, the most influential theories of language use and development posit the situatedness of language—how it is shaped by and shapes its users and contexts of its use. Cultural, rhetorical, and sociocognitive perspectives all emphasize the construction of meaning in context. Our goals in teaching writing explicitly include helping students become aware of writing as situated communication. The rhetorical principles embodied in most widely used writing texts consistently encourage writers to adapt to the specific writing context. Contemporary writing theory and language theory (as well as much cultural criticism) develop in even greater detail the crucial roles of language in context: for identity formation, for cultural work, and for community building. Little wonder, then, that teachers of writing insist that students are best able to learn to write most effectively when they can create and respond to specific language contexts in small groups of students (15–25 students in the class as a whole, with smaller groupings of 2–5 students working on targeted collaborative activities). Do these theoretical assumptions about language preclude teaching writing online? Proponents of online writing courses argue that textual interactions can immerse students more fully in situated writing than face-to-face courses in which few classroom interactions involve writing. But despite what could be an advantage, online classes often fail students precisely because all interactions are 142 Online Writing Classes textual. Unless students are sensitive to or willing to examine the different functions of text in an online class, they can be trapped by their constrained understanding of writing and finish the course with less awareness of the contexts of writing than their counterparts in a traditional classroom. Admittedly, my view of the potential shortcomings of online writing instruction is in the minority. In 1992, Gail Hawisher summed up a prevailing positive view of electronic discourses and their extension into virtual classrooms: “As a result of our work with computers over the past decade, we can begin to imagine teaching and writing in a virtual age where a meeting of the minds might well occur without the physical presence of students and teachers.” Minock and Shor (1995) discuss at length an example of a curriculum that exploit ...

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara

Balvir Singh

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup. The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...

Sandy Millin

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
