Stratēģijas iemācītās bezpalīdzības samazināšanai 8.klases angļu valodas stundās
2022
Iemācīto bezpalīdzību Seligmans un viņa kolēģi pirmo reizi aprakstīja 1967. gadā, veicot pētījumu par to, kā iepriekš šokēti suņi vēlāk nespēj izvairīties no elektriskās strāvas trieciena situācijās, kad tas bija iespējams. Kopš tā laika iemācītā bezpalīdzība ir kļuvusi par plaši atzītu teoriju psiholoģijā, un turpmākajos pētījumos ir pētīta tās saistība ar mācīšanos, socializāciju un sociālajiem aspektiem, piemēram, nabadzību un invaliditāti. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija koncentrēties uz stratēģiju izpēti iemācītās bezpalīdzības mazināšanai angļu valodas apguves klasē, fokusējoties uz 8. klases skolēniem, par izvēlētajām metodēm izmantojot gadījumu izpēti un triangulāciju, apkopojot datus no st…

Textbooks as ‘Neoliberal artifacts’: a critical study of knowledge-making in ELT industry
2022
The present study examined the traces of neoliberal ideology in O-level English language textbooks taught in elitist private schools in Pakistan that follow the UK-based international educational system administrated by the University of Cambridge under the General Certificate of Education (GCE). Analysis in the study was informed by Fairclough's CDA writings. Moreover, Bourdieu's views on neoliberalism were also considered to shed some light on neoliberal ideology in the textbooks. Findings suggest that several neoliberal themes were evident in the textbooks under scrutiny, including marketization, consumerism, branding, celebrity culture, competition, individualism, self-responsibility an…
Roy’s Inglish in The God of Small Things: A Language for Subversion, Reconciliation and Reassertion
2011
Abstract:In The God of Small Things, Arundhati Roy separates English from Englishspeakers. She reappropriates the language not only to portray complex characters and narrative themes, but also to create a postcolonial discourse that criticizes, questions and subverts the old dominance of the imperial colonizer. Mainly addressed to a western audience, the use of Inglish in this novel is a crucial factor to reveal the development of a hybrid conscience, reassert the Indian identity and make the reader feel displaced from their native tongueKeywords: English language, postcolonial, hybridity, Indian identity, discourseTítulo en español: El Inglish de Roy en The God of Small Things: Una lengua …
The 5-Dimensional Model: A Finnish Approach to Differentiation
2021
This chapter focuses on differentiation in English language teaching. We present the 5-dimensional (5D) model of differentiation which has been created based on the Finnish educational context. The model is grounded in the postulate that differentiation is a proactive and student-centred approach that permeates all teaching and involves the entire school community. The 5D model progresses from general to specific. It advocates for differentiation to be implemented holistically in several dimensions of teaching which are teaching arrangements, learning environment, teaching methods, support materials and assessment. Furthermore, it proposes that all differentiation should be based on student…

METHODOLOGY Comprehensive literature search was performed using electronic online databases "PubMed" and "Google Scholar". Articles published in English language were considered for the review.

Community water fluoridation and caries prevention: a critical review.
2006
The aim of this paper was to critically review the current role of community water fluoridation in preventing dental caries. Original articles and reviews published in English language from January 2001 to June 2006 were selected through MEDLINE database. Other sources were taken from the references of the selected papers.

However, it is now accepted that the primary cariostatic action of fluoride occurs after tooth eruption. Moreover, the caries reduction directly attributable to water fluoridation have declined in the…
