Changing practice and enabling development: the impact of technology on teaching and language teacher education in UAE federal institutions

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7227-7864Item not available in this repository.The global trend of increased technology use for information access, communication and entertainment is extending into educational settings, prompting educators to consider the role of technology and review more traditional teaching and learning methodologies. Whether or not we agree with the growing opinion that “Traditional teaching and learning methods are becoming less effective at engaging students and motivating them to achieve” (Gitsaki et al., 2013: 1), the use of technology in English language teaching and learning is increasing. Technology is moving from being a supplementary resource (e.g. language labs, Computer Assisted Language Learning) to a means of language instruction and practice, made increasingly easier by personal and mobile devices. However, it is well recognized that the successful integration of new technologies in education is dependent on teachers (Mumtaz, 2000; Albrini, 2004; Judson, 2006; Keengwe et al., 2008; Rossing et al., 2012). Their personal beliefs, assumptions and attitudes to technology will influence the acceptance, use, effectiveness and success of new initiatives; therefore, teachers who are required to implement change need sufficient time, support and training, without which they are unlikely to see the value and affordances of new technology. It is important, then, that teachers in this environment are effectively prepared for potential changes in classroom practice (Ess, 2009) and supported in ongoing learning (Abadiano & Turner, 2004; Borko, 2004).https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137440068_9pubpu

'It would be a great evil to let so bad a character … go at large': convict women and the Irish police, 1850s-1900
No full textIn this chapter, Elaine Farrell explores the ways that the Irish police - the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Dublin Metropolitan Police – interacted with female serious offenders in the latter half of the nineteenth century through an exploration of the penal files lodged in Ireland’s convict prison. Farrell considers how individual policemen sought to portray particular women when asked for their insights into the conduct or family backgrounds of specific individuals. The chapter reveals that while several policemen emphasised good behaviour, sometimes acknowledging difficult circumstances, others provided negative reports of women’s activities and appearances. Some individual policemen even provided false information either inadvertently or due to overreliance on gossip. Farrell specifically focuses on the themes of class and gender to demonstrate how the male police force influenced the lives of predominantly lower-class women.<br/

Rewriting history : postmodern and postcolonial negotiations in the fiction of J.G. Farrell, Timothy Mo, Kazuo Ishiguro and Salman Rushdie
No full textThis thesis is a study of the rewriting of history in the work of four novelists: J. G. Farrell, Timothy Mo, Kazuo Ishiguro and Salman Rushdie. I argue that their work occupies a particular position that is both within contemporary British fiction, yet at one remove from it.
Their work is situated within the context of critiques of history that are the source of a conflict between postmodernism and postcolonialism. I suggest that each writer engages with postmodemist aesthetics often in an attempt to produce critical histones that bear witness to the voices of those hitherto silenced in conventional historiography. However, these novelists remain anxious as to the potential consequences of mobilising postmodernist models of history, particularly as to the problems this creates concerning historical reference. The thesis aims to
identify the range of related attitudes to postmodernist critiques of history at this particular juncture of contemporary fiction in English.
I approach the specific position of the novelists under study through Homi Bhabha's work on the confluence of the postmodern and the postcolonial, focusing in particular on his suggestion that the postmodem refutation of Western epistemology enables a postcolonial space where a new range of histories emerge. Because each writer works between at least two cultures, and primarily within Britain, they negotiate from within received epistemology in an attempt to locate a space at its boundaries where conventional forms of knowledge no longer have efficacy. However, in contrast to Bhabha, these writers struggle to reach this space and remain sceptical as to the usefulness of postmodernism in making available new forms of
historiography. Ultimately, their work enables a critique of current ways of theorising the relationship between the postmodem and the postcolonial in literary studies
Machine Translation Markers in Post-Edited Machine Translation Output
No full textThe author has conducted an experiment for two consecutive years with postgraduate university students in which half do an unaided human translation (HT) and the other half post-edit machine translation output (PEMT). Comparison of the texts produced shows - rather unsurprisingly - that post-editors faced with an acceptable solution tend not to edit it, even when often more than 60% of translators tackling the same text prefer an array of other different solutions. As a consequence, certain turns of phrase, expressions and choices of words occur with greater frequency in PEMT than in HT, making it theoretically possible to design tests to tell them apart. To verify this, the author successfully carried out one such test on a small group of professional translators. This implies that PEMT may lack the variety and inventiveness of HT, and consequently may not actually reach the same standard. It is evident that the additional post-editing effort required to eliminate what are effectively MT markers is likely to nullify a great deal, if not all, of the time and cost-saving advantages of PEMT. However, the author argues that failure to eradicate these markers may eventually lead to lexical impoverishment of the target language
