READING AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF HELEN KELLER’S THE STORY OF MY LIFE
No full textMembaca autobiografi adalah membaca suatu peristiwa, memori dan kenangan yang dituliskan oleh pengarang tentang dirinya sendiri. Persitiwa- peristiwa tersebut lebih banyak mengabarkan tentang sebuah kebenaran subjektif daripada fakta yang sebenarnya. Itu dikarenakan pengarang sebagai subjek yang membaca masa lalunya menjadi tokoh utama dalam autobiografi. Hal ini dapat dikaji dan dibuktikan melalui beberapa aspek di dalam autobiografi.
Ruang lingkup dari tulisan ini adalah bagaimana narrator dalam menarasikan cerita dapat membangun wacana dan berbicara langsung dengan narratee. Pengalaman- pengalaman yang diceritakan oleh narrator, identitas yang ditampilkan dan juga peran editor di dalam pembuatan autobiografi. Adapun tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk mengimplementasikan teori Reading Autobiography yang digunakan untuk menganalisis The Story of My Life yang merupakan autobiografi dari Helen Keller.
Metode yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode penelitian kepustakaan dan metode pendekatan teori membaca autobiografi. Metode yang pertama digunakan untuk mengumpul data dan informasi dari sumber-sumber kepustakaan yang mendukung pembahasan. Metode yang kedua digunakan sebagai acuan utama dalam menganalisis aspek yang dominan dalam autobiografi.
Hasil dari analisis menunjukkan bahwa teknik penceritaan yang digunakan oleh pengarang sangat mengesankan, baik dalam segi penceritaan “aku”, ideologi maupun konsep yang dimiliki banyak memproyeksikan tokoh sebagai tokoh yang sempurna secara fisik. Begitu juga pengalaman yang dialami tokoh sengaja dipilihkan pengalaman yang istimewa
Selain itu, identitas yang ditampilkan oleh pengarang bertujuan mengkonstruksikan kesan dirinya seabagai pribadi yang baik kepada pembaca. Di samping itu, adanya peran John Macy sebagai editor di dalam pembuatan autobiografi adalah untuk kepentingan sosial. Hal ini dikarenakan John Macy membantu memproyeksikan Helen Keller sebagai tokoh utama yang hampir sempurna walau dengan keterbatasan fisik. Dia juga mampu membantu Helen dalam mengklarifikasi isu negatif yang berkembang pada masa itu
Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld, PhD, Long-Term Care Educator and Author
No full textToday’s guest is Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld. Mary Helen is an associate professor at Towson University in the Department of Health Sciences. Mary Helen is the author of one of the leading textbooks in the field of long-term care, Dimensions of Long-Term Care: An Introduction, and is a recognized leader in long-term care education nationally. In this podcast I talk with Mary Helen about her journey from an early interest in political science and international affairs to discovering the nascent field of health economics in the 80’s, and her transition to an interest in long-term care as a result of having to care for both her father and father-in-law when they suffered from debilitating terminal illnesses. Mary Helen makes a passionate case for long-term care, pointing out the economic opportunities for entrepreneurs, as well as young people looking for a meaningful and well compensated career. I hope you enjoy listening to Mary Helen’s story, and if you find it valuable, won’t you leave us feedback on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you may be accessing this recording. It helps other people discover us. Thanks for listening, and here is Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld

Conclusion : Reading Teachers of tomorrow
No full textIt is every child’s right to read for pleasure. he International Literacy Association defines this right as the opportunity to read freely, voluntarily and with delight – and to read any kind of text. Many teachers recognise this right, and, alongside teaching phonics, language development and comprehension, give time and space to nurturing volitional reading in the young. Reading Teachers spend time getting to know children as readers, they find out about their attitudes, behaviours and identities in order to tailor their pedagogy in responsive ways. Reading histories represent rich resources to learn about the nature of reading. Teachers, in tune with the rest of the population, read widely, for example engaging with newspapers, magazines, emails, articles and social media posts

Listening to pupils : developing mutually respectful teacher-pupil relationships to enhance pupils' learning
No full textThis chapter focuses on the importance of listening to children and young people in schools and developing mutually respectful teacher-pupil relationship. The key principles underpinning the chapter are grounded in children’s rights, specifically their right to express their views in matters that affect them. Consideration is given to what this right means in practice, and an outline of legislation within England which supports children’s rights to express their views in schools in provided. The chapter discusses the benefits of listening to pupils from both the pupils’ and the teachers’ perspectives. These benefits are exemplified through the inclusion of examples of how knowledge gained by teachers through listening to pupils’ and developing insights into their opinions, needs and preferences can help to inform teacher’s future planning and pedagogical approaches. Listening to pupils in schools involves teachers encouraging pupils to voice their opinions and providing opportunities for pupils to be active participants in their learning. Throughout the chapter, factors to consider to support the creation of an inclusive, listening environment are outlined, along with specific ‘listening’ strategies which can be employed by teachers in primary schools
