Effektive Förderung der mündlichen Kommunikation bei DaZ-Schüler:innen: Eine Untersuchung von Strategien und Methoden
No full textDie vorliegende Masterarbeit widmet sich der Untersuchung des Stellenwertes der mündlichen Kommunikation bei DaZ- (Deutsch als Zweitsprache) Kindern im schulischen Umfeld. Das Ziel der Studie besteht darin, die Bedeutung der Kommunikationsfertigkeiten für DaZ-Schüler und Schülerinnen zu erforschen und deren Auswirkungen auf ihre Sprachentwicklung und Bildungserfolg zu analysieren. Die Forschungsfrage zielt darauf ab, den mündlichen Sprechbeitrag der Lernenden im sprachsensiblen Unterricht kritisch zu untersuchen und welche Maßnahmen von den Lehrpersonen ergriffen werden, um ihnen die Möglichkeit zu geben, ihre sprachlichen Fertigkeiten zu entwickeln. Mithilfe einer umfangreichen Analyse bestehender Literatur, empirischer Daten und qualitativer Beobachtungen werden verschiedene Aspekte beleuchtet. Das Datenmaterial wurde anhand von dreizehn befragten Lehrpersonen schriftlich gesammelt und analysiert. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse wurden mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring sukzessive ausgewertet und in Kategorien strukturiert. Dies ermöglicht einen umfassenden Überblick über die Antworten der befragten Teilnehmenden. Zusätzlich erfolgt eine Auseinandersetzung mit didaktischen Konzepten und methodischen Ansätzen, welche die Sprechfertigkeit im Unterricht sowie im außerschulischen Kontext fördern sollen. Im Kontext dazu wird eine Vielzahl von Materialien- und Medienressourcen aufgeführt und deren Einsatzmöglichkeiten wurden eingehend erörtert. Im Zuge der hier durchgeführten Studie werden potenzielle Sprachbarrieren festgestellt und in der vorliegenden Arbeit mögliche Lösungsansätze dargelegt. Der literarische und empirische Teil der Arbeit sind Gegenstand einer umfassenden Untersuchung und Diskussion der Ursachen und Hintergründe dieser eventuellen Hindernisse. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse dieser Studie liefern Aufschluss über die Relevanz der mündlichen Kommunikation sowie Impulse an Pädagog:innen, 4 Eltern und Bildungsinstitutionen, um die Entwicklung und Förderung der kommunikativen Fertigkeit zu begünstigen. Diese legen eine gezielte Förderung der Sprechkompetenz mithilfe geeigneter Methoden und Hilfsmittel nahe, welche von den Forschungsteilnehmer:innen als geeignet für den Einsatz im Unterricht angeführt werden. Mithilfe dieser Methoden und der Auswahl und Strukturierung adäquater Aufgaben, welche die DaZ-Schüler:innen zum Sprechen anregen, wird eine nachhaltige Unterstützung des Zweitspracherwerbs angestrebtThe aim of this master’s thesis is to investigate the significance of verbal communication in the school environment for children with German as a Second Language (known as DaZ). The study seeks to explore the importance of communication competence for German learners and analyze its impact on language development and academic achievement. The research question critically examines students’ verbal contribution in class and what measure are being taken by teachers to provide opportunities to develop their language skills. Using an extensive analysis of literature, empirical data, and qualitative observations various aspects are examined. The data gathered from the responses of thirteen participants yields valuable insights into the significance and instructional strategies pertaining to verbal communication within the classroom context. The research findings were systematically evaluated using a qualitative content analysis following the Mayring approach and structured into categories. This provides a comprehensible overview of the responses from the participants in the study. Furthermore, there is an examination of didactic concepts and methodological approaches for the enhancement of speaking skills in the classroom as well as extracurricular contexts. In this context, a variety of materials and media resources will be presented and their potential applications are thoroughly discussed. During the research potential language barriers were identified and possible solutions were outlined. In the theoretical and empirical parts of the thesis, the possible reasons and backgrounds of these potential barriers are extensively investigated and discussed. The results of this study are intended to demonstrate the importance of verbal communication and to encourage educators, parents and educational institutions to support the development and promotion of communicative skills. Consequently, the significant impact of speaking on the learning process is highlighted by the empirical findings of this 6 study. It has shown that the speaking discourse proportion among the students constitutes a diminished percentage, necessitating targeted intervention and support. The participants outlined communication and compensation strategies designed to further communication and emphasised the key role of the teacher in creating a supportive classroom environment. Moreover, the study reveals insights about students' reluctance to engage in speaking discussions and potential factorsincluding fear of mistakes, insecurity and wellbeing. In order to overcome these barriers, the participants offered a variety of strategies for the promotion of speaking. Essential elements include cultivating a positive attitude towards mistakes and giving students sufficient time. Collaborative activities such as group or partner work are suggested to create a safe environment for students before addressing the whole class. Conclusively, though the implementation of different teaching formats, including frontal and alternative teaching methods, communication skills can be promoted. The assessment of progress in their speaking skills is based on language proficiency assessments such as Mika-D and on observations and recordings made in the classroom, without a pre-defined assessment framework
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
