Text Types, Computers, and Teaching: How Do They Work Together?
Get PDFResearch in applied linguistics has shown that different text types (e.g., news reportage, fiction, academic prose) are characterized by a high frequency of co‐occurring grammatical features which work together to convey the particular communicative purpose of the text type. This presentation shows how corpus‐linguistic methodology combines quantitative and qualitative analyses to determine what these grammatical features are and how they complement each other in the expression of the text type\u27s specific communicative purpose. Awareness of such grammatical foundation of different text types is of utmost importance to language teachers and learners. The presentation closes with examples of practical applications in the teaching of writing.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/slides/1026/thumbnail.jp
Exploring the benefits of peer tutoring on elementary students\u27 academic outcomes
Get PDFThis action research study was created to determine if students’ motivation plays an important role in their academic outcomes in a sixth-grade classroom. Peer tutoring was implemented as an intervention throughout a six-week duration to promote students’ intrinsic motivation and to identify any associated student academic outcomes. Preliminary findings showed that students liked to connect with academic content, and they liked to work with their peers. This presentation will provide information about the positive effects of students having or gaining intrinsic motivation, and it will have recommendations about different classroom tools that can have a positive impact on elementary students’ motivation
The impacts of cooperative learning in classrooms on student social skills
Get PDFThis mixed-methods action research study investigates potential effects of cooperative learning strategies on observed and self-reported student social skills in a fourth grade classroom. Baseline data is collected at a time when the classroom is predominantly whole-group and is then compared to ensuing data collected during and after cooperative learning interventions. Opportunities for students to work in interdependent partnerships and small groups ramps up gradually and culminates in a 3-week period which includes 3 different jigsaw-style lesson activities. Data suggests that students who are unaccustomed to working with peers may struggle to exhibit required social skills that make cooperative learning strategies successful, and that student experiences in social learning groups may be frustrating or stressful if the classroom has not adequately set a foundation for a social learning model. However, data also indicates that both academic performance and exhibited student social skills in cooperative groups may improve with repeated exposures. The presentation also clarifies the elements that teachers should look to include when implementing cooperative learning and provides insights into how it should be introduced
Social emotional learning in an elementary school
Get PDFThis action-research study used a mixed-methods approach to help determine and observe the benefits of social emotional journaling in the classroom, specifically its impact on a students ability to recognize their personal emotions and self-concept. Data was collected both quantitively [sic] and qualitatively in a fifth-grade classroom to note the changes before implementing social emotional learning and after implementing it. This study discusses the term “social emotional learning” and provides a discussion on the impact of journaling for the students and any other implications observed. Although the results are mostly positive, the research discovered during the study concluded that many programs including social emotional programs are not a “one size fit all” solution and need to have a more multimodal approach to accommodate all students and their needs
China’s Lending in Latin America: A Development Opportunity or a Debt Trap?
No full textThis paper focuses on China and its financial relations with Latin America. It aims to examine recent claims about China’s lending practices and its effects on selected economies in Latin America. Recent political pundits and policy makers claim that China’s lending behavior is predatory and it is meant to ensnare countries into unsustainable high levels of debt. The term “debt-trap diplomacy” has been used to describe such behavior. As China becomes a very important trade partner and foreign lender in Latin America, it is key for policy makers to determine whether financing from China is indeed predatory or if it is a development opportunity for countries in the region. We start with China’s economic background and history as a foreign lender and a description of its main policy banks, China Development Bank (CDB) and the Export-Import Bank (ExImp). Then, we describe China’s lending practices such as commodity-backed loans and other particular characteristics. Finally, we analyze China’s relationship with three important nations in Latin America, namely, Venezuela, Brazil and Peru to examine their financial relationship with China, and its possible effect on debt sustainability.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/posters/1037/thumbnail.jp
Use of encouragement in the classroom to help students succeed [2022]
Get PDFThis case study is based on a one student study that used a mixed methods approach seeing the effects of encouragement in the classroom and how it might help a student socially and emotionally. Data was collected throughout a 12-week period based around the findings of field notes and a survey that was implemented into the classroom. Preliminary findings are inconclusive based on students having more difficulties that affect them in different ways. This paper will provided [sic] information about how to use encouragement in the classroom.
Teachers are always trying to find new methods to help their students. Dedicated to their craft, they leave no stone unturned in this quest. From table groups, to peer tutoring, to movement breaks, and beyond, the extensive number of strategies that teachers implement for their students can be overwhelming. Because of the current slow decline in social-emotional behaviors and academics, this effort is even more critical. Students are struggling, whether it be due to the rise in social media or the COVID-19 pandemic. If teachers do not start doing something to help their students, this decline may continue. Researchers have begun to look for methods that are easy to implement to help students quickly in the classroom. One of the methods is encouragement. Encouragement is the act of building someone up and making sure that they are supported in the environment that they are in. From writing encouragement on papers to verbalizing their encouragement, researchers find that students are growing more when they are encouraged by their teachers. What this action research project is here to prove is the questions: Does encouragement in the classroom help students social, emotionally and academically
