Language study in higher education and the development of criticality
No full textThis article explores the development of criticality in Modern Languages graduates in the UK. It is based on a larger research project investigating the development of criticality in (initially) two academic disciplines through the detailed analysis of a large corpus of qualitative data. This includes student interviews, teacher interviews, classroom observation, written and oral work produced by students, documentation produced for courses, and policy statements from national and institutional sources. This article focuses on the relationship between the Modern Languages curriculum, particularly language teaching and learning, and the development of criticality. Drawing upon evidence from the qualitative data, it outlines the ways in which the courses can be seen to contribute to the development of wider social competences. Finally it discusses the distinctiveness of the contribution to criticality development provided by the cross-cultural and cross-linguistic experience of Modern Languages undergraduates

Developing student criticality in higher education: undergraduate learning in the arts and social sciences
No full textCritical thinking is a major and enduring aspect of higher education and the development of criticality in students has long been a core aim. However, understandings of criticality are conceptually and empirically unclear. The book combines a well developed conceptual discussion of the nature of criticality appropriate for the twenty-first century, the extent to which it is attainable by arts and social science undergraduates, and the paths by which it is developed during students’ higher education experiences. Drawing upon empirical accounts and case studies of teaching and learning in different disciplines, this book critically analyses higher education curriculum and policy documentation to explore higher educational processes, encouraging a re-evaluation of practice and educational values, and enabling the development of curricula which incorporate systematic attention to the development of student criticality. This book proposes a rounded conceptual vision of criticality in higher education for the twenty-first century.<br/

Old Zeke Perkins' Ford
(To the tune of Turkey in the Straw)
Old Zeke Perkins sold his hogs the other day,
Well the gosh darn fool throwed his money right away;
He went down town, a-sitting on a bull
He came home riding his darn little Ford.
When he came to the house and he got to the gate,
He closed up the throttle and he throwed on the brake,
He grabbed for the brake and got the throttle instead
But the darn little Ford kept chuggin' right ahead.
Chorus:
Old Zeke Perkins, he bought an automobile
Old Zeke Perkins, whiskers so red
Old Zeke Perkins, he lost the combination
But the darn little Ford kept chuggin' right ahead.
He went through the yard and down the lane
Melindy seen him comin' and she like to went insane
She run out in front and she stopped to see
And the Ford hit here squarely where the bustle ought to be.
She throwed up her hands and waved 'em in the air,
And as Zeke came by she grabbed him by the hair,
As they went through the yard she landed in a heap
In a big pud muddle about six feet deep.
He grabbed Melindy and he made for the shore,
Said and couldn't go no more,
He pricked up his ears, and he looked back and said,
"Well the darn little Ford's just a-chuggin' right ahead."
He grabbed the lever and he shut off the gas,
He broke off the pedals and he kicked out the glass,
He broke all the wires and ripped off the top,
But the darn little Ford it just wouldn't stop.
He got out his knife and he looked so mean,
Cut a hole in the tank, let out the gasoline,
Well he got out his gun and shot the tires full of lead,
But the darn little Ford kept a-chuggin' right ahead.
Chorus:

Old Zeke Perkins' Ford
Reel 73, Item 1
Continued
He steered for the shed but, missing the hole,
He hit an old pig and you'd outer see him roll,
He went through the yard and he landed in a heap
In a big pud muddle 'bout six feet deep.
He grabbed Melindy and he made for the shore
Saying, he tried to stop and he couldn't go no more,
And he pricked up his ears and he looked back and said
"Well, the darn little Ford's just a-chuggin' right ahead."Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
