A participatory action research project identified the lack of culturally appropriate education tools and led to the development of the “Hep B Story” app in the Aboriginal language Yolŋu Matha. This paper describes a formal evaluation of the app’s frst version, which informed improvements and translation into a further ten Aboriginal languages.

Learning how to write a coherent, effective text is a difficult and protracted achievement of cognitive development that contrasts sharply with the acquisition of speech. By the age of 5, spoken language is normally highly developed with a working vocabulary of several thousand words and an ability to comprehend and produce grammatical sentences. Although the specific contribution of a genetic predisposition for language learning is unsettled, it is apparent that speech acquisition is a natural part of early human development.

A second criterion for meaningful research on cross-language transfer is the recognition that literacy comprises many component skills. The component skills of reading must be carefully assessed in the first and second language to trace the development of first- and second-language abilities in relation to one another.

Although Jazui recommends boycotting advertising, I find this request impossible to fulfill. We simply could not effectively boycott all celebrity-oriented advertising. It hold much too broad of an influence on culture today. Media education and an increase in the appropriate regulations by the FCC will effectively help to protect the psychee’s of American’s today by the media. We must work towards a modern day America where we, as citizens, realize the influence of media upon us and acknowledge its presence.

In language learning, the use of strategies “has been observed to produce a positive effect on student achievement” (Flaitz & Feiten, 1996, pp.211). The term learner strategies refers to “language learning behaviors learners actually engage in to learn and regulate the learning of a second language” (Wenden, 1987, p.6), and also refers to what learners know about the strategies they use and what they know about other aspects of their language learning (Wenden, 1987).

We investigate linguistic features that correlate with the readability of texts for adults with intellectual disabilities (ID). Based on a corpus of texts (including some experimentally measured for comprehension by adults with ID), we analyze the significance of novel discourselevel features related to the cognitive factors underlying our users’ literacy challenges. We develop and evaluate a tool for automatically rating the readability of texts for these users. Our experiments show that our discourselevel, cognitively-motivated features improve automatic readability assessment....

There are some advanced level subjects which provide suitable preparation for entry to university generally, but which we do not include within the facilitating subjects, because there are relatively few degree programmes where an advanced level qualification in these subjects would be a requirement for entry. Examples of such subjects include Economics, Religious Studies and Welsh. Advanced-level Welsh has separate curricula for first- and second-language Welsh speakers.

Media and the arts are the vanguard in this world, out in front, breaking new ground. Creative people are inventing new forms of expression, experimenting with them, and disseminating them. Not all new forms are adopted, of course, but the drive to explore and create is fueled by artists, musicians, and popular culture. Researchers have begun to think about these new forms of expression in the same way they might a new language. Using the very language forms they are studying, researchers work collaboratively to discover and describe the nature of 21st century literacy.

WANT TO INVITE YOU to join me in a personal journey of selfexploration and discovery. This is a book about coaching people to develop their emotional intelligence. You cannot approach this topic as a coach without taking a close look at yourself and the life experiences, beliefs, attitudes, assumptions, and personal abilities that have shaped the development of your own emotional intelligence. There is an underlying assumption present in all coaching: that the coach has developed deeper mastery of the knowledge and skills of a topic than the person receiving the coaching.

These are trying times for teachers. We know more than we ever have about teaching, learning, and literacy and their complexities. Yet we persist with public policies that assume that if we just increase the pressure on teachers to improve their students’ test scores, they will somehow teach better— and perhaps faster—and that children will develop literacies that will engage them and carry them into the future.
