Work Placement for International Student Programmes (WISP): A model of effective practice
No full textWith a marked increase in the number of international students enrolling in university programs across the globe it is important that personal and professional experiences are positive. Of interest is the workplace component of international students’ study programs, as these experiences provide opportunities for students to socialise into new workplaces and cultural contexts. This chapter presents a theoretical model that takes into account the relationship between the concepts of internationalisation, professional socialisation, reflection and cultural development. It explores Knight’s (1999) work on internationalisation; research on personal and professional socialisation; effective reflective practice; and the notion of cultural development (Wells, 2000). We argue that an enhanced ethos approach, together with strong personal and professional student and staff agency and reflective practice, enhances the work placement experience. If all these elements are taken into account and the interrelationship between them is understood, we contend that it is more likely for workplace experiences to be positive and meaningful for all stakeholders

Letter from Kay Yamashita to Pooh, November 1, 1942
No full textLetter from Kay Yamashita to Pooh at the Sakai house, written from Topaz incarceration camp. Yamashita mentions the Student Relocation Council and activities of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, a scheduled visit from Caleb Foote, and the arrival of a new teacher at the camp high school, F.O.R. member Mary McMillan. Yamashita asks if Joe [Joseph R. Goodman] would be willing to come teach at the high school. Kay also writes of lack of adequate heating in the cold weather, and of censorship of the camp newsletter: "If you get a hold of one of our Topaz Times, now a daily news sheet, don't believe all - it's highly censored - about as much as our Tanforan newspaper was - they're afraid to let anything unpleasant or detrimental to the administration out." Yamashita also mention lack of available or willing workers for farm labor in the camp.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Who fails whom? A case study exploration of factors leading to unsuccessful international pre-service teachers’ work placements
No full textThis chapter presents four case studies describing both individual and systematic causes for international pre-service teachers failing field experience. The study is framed within Lave and Wenger’s (1991) and Wenger’s (2008) notion of situated learning. The participants were four pre-service teachers (one 3rd-year undergraduate, one 4th-year undergraduate and two graduate diploma students) and their four respective school supervising teachers. Individual factors that contributed to failure were lack of English language proficiency, lack of understanding of the Australian schooling system and how to behave appropriately on field experience placements. Systematic factors that contributed to failure included lack of communication between the teacher training institution and schools and a perceived lack of support from the teacher training institution by both the pre-service teachers and the school supervising teachers. The findings conclude that there needs to be clearer communication between all stakeholders to ensure all understand their roles and responsibilities in supporting international pre-service teachers on field experience

Kay Boyle author of herself
No full textIn her long, prolific, and tumultuous career, Kay Boyle (1902-92) published more than thirty volumes of fiction and poetry to awards and acclamations, always mining a rich vein of autobiography and innovation. Her reputation, however, has only recently begun to reemerge from the long shadow cast over it by her struggle against McCarthyism, returning to American letters some of the most vigorous writing of this centuryIn Joan Mellen's groundbreaking and provocative biography of Kay Boyle - the first ever - the full sweep of her remarkable life is revealed. As the golden girl of expatriate Paris, Kay Boyle included among her friends James Joyce, Hart Crane, Marcel Duchamp, Picabia, Brancusi, and Archibald MacLeishA literary figure in her own right, she became one of the most important contributors to the seminal magazine transition, virtually invented what came to be known as The New Yorker story, and was awarded two O.

"I Can't Get No Satisfaction": an inquiry into "Thematic Communication" as a motivation approach to encourage students continuing music after it is no longer compulsory
No full textThe paper builds on research by Hartwig (2003), Lowe (2008 and 2010) and Wise (2010) that establishes the issues in declining numbers of students taking up music after year eight compulsory classroom music. The data for this enquiry is based on a Townsville secondary school as a case study and develops a qualitative and quantitative analysis of what motivates students to continue music after year eight. After a series of elicitation interviews with students a survey is constructed, based on "Persuasive Communication Theory" or "Theory of Planned Behaviour" as outlined by Ajzen (1991) as well as Ham et al. (2009). These results are then coded and analyzed within the categories of "Behavioural Beliefs", "Normative Beliefs" and "Control Beliefs".
The survey results showed that some of the issues that concerned students were the complexity of advanced music studies, busy schedules and the usefulness of music for their future career path.
The outcome of this analysis enables the development of a "Thematic Communication" approach that may influence year eight students to continue music in years 9 – 12
