Teachers Need to Know How to Evaluate Textbooks Efficiently And Effectively

By Kitty Lee on September 03, 2010

All the teachers began by looking at the brief provided, and then at the contents pages and all at some stage looked at all the different components of the scheme: the student's book, the teacher's book, and the mini-grammar booklet. However, there was a clear difference among the three teachers in the route they followed while they were evaluating the textbook.

Ti started at Unit i, but did not find an activity that she considered to be suitable for a first lesson ('a warmer') and so jumped to Unit 5. This was one manifestation of her greater concern for classroom logistics than for the overall evaluation of the textbook. She then opened the teacher's book and examined the description of the workbook and the Tag Heuer Carrera Replica methodological guidelines. This led her to look for the mini-grammar booklet, by flicking through the student's book until she found it (tucked into a pocket in the back cover). Of the three participants, Ti seemed to be the least familiar with the commonalities of textbook layout. She then flicked through the mini-grammar booklet, and kept it to hand while she looked at various aspects of the student's book: pronunciation,Cartier White Gold Plated Leve Bracelet with Diamonds Paved, speaking (including the 'activity bank'),Cartier Double C Motif Charm Necklace in Gold Plated With Diamon, functional language, and dictionary work. For each of these areas of language, she looked at how it was covered in three or four of the units, using the contents pages to find the appropriate sections. Finally, she returned to the teacher's book and looked at the teaching notes in more detail.

Ta took a more direct approach, though it was not necessarily more time-efficient. He quickly found all the components of the book, looked at the front and back covers of the books and then flicked through both the student's book and the teacher's book before returning to the contents pages. He then looked through every page of the student's book in turn, until he reached Unit 13 (of 14). At this stage he referred to the teacher's book for Unit i and compared it to the student's book. He repeated this process for six other units and then returned again to the beginning of the student's book and flicked through both books once more, before giving an overall evaluation of the textbook package.

T3, on the other hand, adopted a more selective approach. He decided early on to focus on Unit 4, explaining that he expected the textbook to have 'settled down' by then. He looked at all the activities in this unit while referring to the other components of the course. Then he turned to the teacher's book and compared it to the student's book for Unit 4. He then looked at the Cartier Tank Replica methodology notes in the teacher's book in more detail, before briefly looking through Unit 8, comparing the student's book to the teaching notes.

Compared with Ti's 'back and forth' approach, Tj's sequence was very focused and time-efficient. Ti and T2 also showed some systematic, but their evaluations appeared to be more superficial because they made only very brief comments on different parts of the various units, without achieving T3's systematic approach at a deeper level. Tj knew what he was looking for in evaluating a textbook, and he knew where to find it. This difference could be vital because the great importance placed on textbooks in language education (e.g. Cunningsworth 1984; Hutchinson and Torres 1994) means that teachers need to know how to evaluate textbooks efficiently and effectively.

Episode Two Person Nobody And Hot-seating

By Jacqueline Smith on August 13, 2010

At this point, the drama work centers on creating what O'Neill calls the "dramatic elsewhere" ("Alienation" 141). This is the fictional setting within which the dramatic work takes place. This is perhaps the most critical stage of the process-building belief in the dramatic world. This world must be a creation of the entire group, in which all are invested. O'Neill further notes that the teacher must genuinely respect the students' contributions,Cartier Necklace in Yellow Gold with Pendant in Straight Connect, even if they go against the teacher's internal logic of the scene or are based on a limited knowledge (Drama 57). To create this world, I rely on two activities.

Person Nobody: Place a chair in the middle of the circle. The facilitator introduces the theme of the outcast from the prior Tag Heuer Replica activity. The facilitator then explains that the class will be creating a fictional outcast at a fictional high school. At that point, all individuals help to create the back-story and personality of the person. The facilitator asks specific guiding questions to add to the input of the participants, but the bulk of the information comes from the ensemble.

Hot-Seating: The teacher then sits in the chair and takes on the character the class has created. Individuals on the outside of the circle then ask questions, which the facilitator then answers in character. If the question of sexuality does not arise in the Person Nobody exercise, the facilitator introduces that aspect of the character here.

The teacher working in role is an effective way to maintain the dramatic distance while still allowing a critical investigation of the theme. Here, the role does not differ much from the teacher's usual role in the classroom: facilitating discussion, acting as moderator. O'Neill cites teacher-in-role as beneficial in that the teacher can "model appropriate behavior and language, support the students' efforts,

and challenge the students' familiar responses" (O'Neill and Manley 92-93). O'Neill also notes that when a teacher enters a role, the power dynamics of the classroom change ("Transforming" 96). Students may confront or oppose the character in a way that they will not do so with the teacher.

In one of the high school workshops, the students created a young man, "Tom," who was struggling with his homosexuality. "Tom" was not a stellar student, not an athlete—he was just an ordinary guy who played video games and swam. Ordinary, that is, until rumors about his staring at one of his male classmates started swirling at the fictional Jefferson High School. The group went on to create "Tom's" family, friends, and history.

In the rural Pennsylvania workshop, I had to introduce the issue of sexuality from within the hot-seating activity. This time, the class had created "Jerry," an eleventh-grade student who just transferred to a new high Tag Heuer Replica Watches school. While I was in role answering questions, one of the students asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?" "No," I answered, somewhat shyly. Another student followed quickly with "Do you have a boyfriend?" This question was met with chuckling from a number of the students. After a long pause, I quietly answered, "Yes." Laura, the girl who asked the question,Cartier solo, later reflected on this experience by saying, "Suddenly we weren't just ourselves making things up like some stupid acting exercise. Something changed and we were talking to this kid . . . even though it was just our teacher." Though she admits her initial question was intended as a "joke," she had instead moved toward entering the drama world.

Louis Vuitton is Still Big With a Dazzling Aura of Compromise to The Market

By Ashely Rong on June 17, 2011

The fourth quarter of last year, the international financial crisis spread to the Chinese retail market, both inside and outside the industry generally believe that luxury will bear the brunt of the storm. In September this year, a survey shows that the financial crisis, China is the only luxury goods market is growing countries. LV were how contrarian growth? This begins with the LV in China talking about the symbolism.

Recently, a Chinese favorite of the luxury survey, LV is the most popular clothing brands people, and Cartier jewelry and watches is the first card. One theory is described: the Chinese people, regardless of his money, money, fake money, fake money; whether he is rich, nouveau riche or Xurong small white-collar workers, on luxury, on the big, think first brand,Cartier love bracelt for womens, is always LV, and LV, Cartier, Gucci and other luxury goods are also seen as big fashion symbol, a status symbol.

Decided the brand voice. LV huge brand appeal to their retail channels with the game always take the initiative. High-end stores tend to introduce a big house and make huge concessions, reduction of rent, lower rake, upgrade the environment, even for the decoration. With a capital of a well-known high-end department manager as saying, Diandaqike, big bully customers shop the business rules, people 100 years of the arch itself is set to enhance the image of the mall, the intersection of "dipping fees" reasonable. However, even in the face of these brands would have been unthinkable general preferential treatment, LV were also selective, merit-based infiltration. Beijing is considered the high-end department store in the flag of the Lufthansa Friendship Shopping seek less than LV figure, and also failed to keep Scitech Cartier pace.

Many people send out such a feeling, LV's brand strength is indeed too strong. "This has a half-century-old luxury goods leader, with 'no price' marketing strategy to maintain brand image and status, has survived three times the economic crisis and the Great Depression. No price competition has become a luxury brand makes the LV The Stand, not only that, each year about 5% of the price increase,Cartier jewellry, making it part of a classic handbag or even a sound investment value. "

But this time of financial crisis, Louis Vuitton handbags"no price" exceptions. From the beginning of the year, LV in 22 cities of the store in addition to watches, jewelry and other individual category were carried out outside the 2% -7% price reduction. Then triggered a luxury price undercurrent, Ferragamo, Gucci, Fendi, Dior, Celine, Paul Shark, big up quietly lowered the retail price of new stock this year. Although the LV because of the euro price adjustment claim, but is obvious to all, the face of shrinking European market, LV had to put a greater focus shifted to China. And after five months, LV broke again "new price" of the rumors, so bystanders Gee lament, no matter what brand, must bow to the sales. And everyone else, LV is also inseparable from their trend growth regulation of price leverage.

However, mall executives who, LV their price may be "the worst years in the best time," it reveals a truth: with a dazzling aura of the big, still a compromise to the market, it's like VIPs Kang Dezhu than civilians to the same hunger. So, how can the introduction of LV are not important things, rather than make a great sacrifice, who used the LV cocky arrogance, as hard to build their own brand of shopping for a larger market share. Because we are backed by a fast-growing luxury consumer market, and this is their Vital LV.
