Characteristics of quality teaching for students in New Zealand schools whose first language is not English
No full textThe current paper draws on the findings of two recent research
reports commissioned by the New Zealand Ministry of Education (Alton-Lee,
2003; Franken & McComish, 2003) in order to generate a synthesised
statement of characteristics of quality teaching for students for whom English
is not the first language (referred to from here as NESB students1) in New
Zealand schools. Alton-Lee (2003, see Ministry of Education website,
www.minedu.govt.nz) provides a synthesis of research-based evidence
addressing the nature of quality teaching in schooling for the full range of
diverse students. In this work, diversity encompasses “many characteristics
including ethnicity, socio-economic background, home language, gender,
special needs, disability, and giftedness” (Alton-Lee, 2003, p. v). Because her
synthesis addresses diversity in the student population, she focusses on what is
common to diverse students and thus does not specify particular conditions
that pertain to any one sub-group of diverse students. Franken and
McComish (2003) on the other hand, is a research report into the English
language support for NESB (Non English Speaking Background) students in
New Zealand schools. It includes a literature review of evidence-based
research into second language teaching and learning, particularly classroom
based research. It also reports on observations and analysis of practices in
New Zealand schools, and discusses how these documented practices relate to
the research findings from the literature
Principles of effective literacy practice for EAL students in New Zealand classrooms.
No full textThe New Zealand Ministry of Education has recently identified the need for teachers to be prepared to meet the needs of English as an additional language (EAL)² students in New Zealand schools more effectively. This paper offers a number of principles to guide policy, practice and teacher development. The paper draws on Alton-Lee's (2003) best evidence synthesis of quality teaching for diverse students, and Franken and McComish's (2003a, 2003b) observations and analysis of provisions for EAL students in New Zealand schools. The principles, grounded in second language and literacy acquisition research, point to the need to provide particular enabling conditions for the literacy development of EAL students if they are to achieve as well as their English-speaking peers

Don Maynard : Franken Forest
No full text"Franken Forest (2010) is a multimedia installation by Don Maynard featuring a grove of fabricated trees and a skittering stop-action video projection of forest canopy. Plumbing environmental anxieties, the piece conjures up a future in which fanciful simulacra displace the natural world. The exhibition Don Maynard: Franken Forest includes this core installation and two related new works, Flock (2009) and Bird in the House (2010)." -- p. [4] of cover
