Leading scholars in composition, education, and literacy studies critique the English monolingualism dominating the study and teaching of college composition and pursue approaches that embrace the ...multilingualism and that pose cross-language writing as the norm for teaching and research.
Discover what happens when your students step out of their daily routines and activate their engagement. Author Katherine Mills Hernandez argues that movement, talk, and the physical environment of ...the classroom all contribute and influence students' learning. The ideas in Activate! will help you create a classroom optimized for deeper engagement and lasting learning. No matter what subject you teach, Katherine invites you to shift your attention from what you are doing in the classroom, to what your students are doing as the catalyst for learning. She provides insights into instruction through real classroom lessons as she gives you the tools to better assess your students' engagement and energy levels. The book describes practical ways to incorporate movement into the classroom routine, based on research on how an active brain generates true learning. Katherine invites you into her own classroom by sharing vignettes from lessons and activities, opening up the pages of her own learning journal, sharing pictures from her classroom, and examples of classroom charts. She also provides a comprehensive bibliography on the research behind the science of movement and talk and how they affect learning.

Science Learning and Instruction describes advances in understanding the nature of science learning and their implications for the design of science instruction. The authors show how design patterns, ...design principles, and professional development opportunities coalesce to create and sustain effective instruction in each primary scientific domain: earth science, life science, and physical science. Calling for more in depth and less fleeting coverage of science topics in order to accomplish knowledge integration, the book highlights the importance of designing the instructional materials, the examples that are introduced in each scientific domain, and the professional development that accompanies these materials. It argues that unless all these efforts are made simultaneously, educators cannot hope to improve science learning outcomes. The book also addresses how many policies, including curriculum, standards, guidelines, and standardized tests, work against the goal of integrative understanding, and discusses opportunities to rethink science education policies based on research findings from instruction that emphasizes such understanding.
This edited collection extends the scholarship on silence and listening initiated by Cheryl Glenn and Krista Ratcliffe in their award-winning SIUP books, Unspoken: A Rhetoric of Silence and ...Rhetorical Listening: Identification, Gender, Whiteness.

This is a much-needed book for educators who want to learn more than just the surface features of lesson study, to deepen the process and learning. Bringing together current knowledge and resources ...from lesson study practitioners and researchers all over the world, this book provides models and examples of how teachers can learn more deeply and how to support them to learn more in lesson study. The chapters connect current research/educational theories to classroom practices and are filled with examples to illustrate how deeper learning looks with lesson study; for example, highlighting the research process, paying attention to educative talk, using case pupils (students) as the teachers’ focus, doing kyouzai kenkyuu well, facilitating mock-up lessons and so forth. This is not a basic “how-to” handbook of lesson study, and readers can choose chapters with topics of interest to learn and use the new ideas promptly in their work. Coming from the global network of lesson study educators, the book not only provides new learning guides but also provides stories of how lesson study has been adopted in different cultures and educational contexts.
What should language and writing teachers do about giving students written corrective feedback? This book surveys theory, research, and practice on the important and sometimes controversial issue of ...written corrective feedback, also known as "error/grammar correction," and its impact on second language acquisition and second language writing development. Offering state-of-the-art treatment of a topic that is highly relevant to both researchers and practitioners, it critically analyzes and synthesizes several parallel and complementary strands of research--work on error/feedback (both oral and written) in SLA and studies of the impact of error correction in writing/composition courses--and addresses practical applications. Drawing from both second language acquisition and writing/composition literature, this volume is the first to intentionally connect these two separate but important lines of inquiry. The book is divided into the following sections: (1) Introduction; (2) Theoretical Perspectives; (3) Evaluating the Empirical Evidence; (4) Applications for Language & Writing Classes; and (5) Conclusion.
Lesson study is a popular professional development approach in Japan whereby teachers collaborate to study content, instruction, and how students solve problems and reach for understanding in order ...to improve elementary mathematics instruction and learning in the classroom. This book is the first comprehensive look at the system and process of lesson study in Japan. It describes in detail the process of how teachers conducted lesson study--how they collaborated in order to develop a lesson, what they talked about during the process, and what they looked at in order to understand deeply how students were learning. Readers see the planning of a mathematics lesson, as well as how much content knowledge the teachers have. They observe students' problem solving strategies and learn how Japanese teachers prepare themselves to identify those strategies and facilitate the students' discussion. Written for mathematics teachers, educational researchers, school administrators interested in teachers' professional development, and professional developers, this landmark volume provides an in-depth understanding of lesson study that can lead to positive changes in teachers' professional development and in teaching and learning in the United States.
Neste artigo, pretendemos verificar o quanto a perspectiva bakhtiniana de lingua pode favorecer o ensino dos generos discursivos em sala de aula pelo vies dialogico. Para tanto, elaboramos uma ...proposta de atividade que une generos discursivos que dialogam entre si por meio da mesma tematica e que circulam amplamente em situacoes reais de comunicacao. Exploraremos, em um primeiro momento, o genero discursivo Cupom Fiscal, por estar tao presente na vida dos cidadaos e pouco abordado nos materiais didaticos. Em um segundo momento, trabalharemos outros generos discursivos que pertencem a varios tipos textuais (narrativo, expositivo e argumentativo) e que circulam nas esferas da atividade humana. A ideia e fazer com que os alunos desenvolvam conhecimentos praticos para atuarem como cidadaos participativos e conscientes por meio da translinguistica (Bahktin, 1992) e que a escola seja espaco de construcao da formacao critica do aluno atraves da linguagem. Almejamos instigar a capacidade de refletir, identificar vozes discursivas, promover o desenvolvimento da cidadania e da consciencia critica, alem da explorar a composicao dos generos discursivos. Nosso estudo sera pautado nos pressupostos teoricos de Bahktin (1992;1995) e Fiorin (2010). Palavras-chave: Bakhtin; generos discursivos; educacao fiscal. In this article, we intend to verify how much the Bakhtinian perspective of language can favor the teaching of discursive genres in the classroom through a dialogical approach. To this end, we developed an activity proposal that unites discursive genres that dialogue with each other through the same theme and that circulate widely in real communication situations. We will first explore the discursive genre Tax Coupon, as it is so present in the lives of citizens and little discussed in teaching materials. In a second moment, we will work on other discursive genres that belong to various textual types (narrative, expository and argumentative) and that circulate in the spheres of human activity. The idea is for students to develop practical knowledge to act as participatory and conscious citizens through translinguistics (Bahktin, 1992) and for the school to be a space for constructing the student's critical formation through language. We aim to instigate the ability to reflect, identify discursive voices, promote the development of citizenship and critical consciousness, in addition to exploring the composition of discursive genres. Our study will be based on the theoretical assumptions of Bahktin (1992;1995) and Fiorin (2010). Keywords: Bakhtin; discursive genres; tax education.
