Valuing Independence: Esteem Value and Its Role in the Independent Music Scene
This article reports on a qualitative study investigating the characteristics, motivations, and organization of a sample of self-identified "Indies." It identifies three characteristic dimensions of life for the Independent musician in the digital age: the "intrinsic motivation for extrinsic value" dimension; the "independence as network" dimension; and the "artist as business" dimension. The author argues that these dimensions are linked by thei…

Musowiki.net: Notes on the creation of an online community music facility
This article describes the theoretical and practical justification for creating an online music community at www.musowiki.net . Through a discussion of the technological, industrial and social aspects of an online environment, it provides a grounding body of theory and describes the process of designing the project. Consideration of some of the project's early outcomes reveals four principles for community building and offers examples of how they…
Some Further Perspectives on the Development of Applied Linguistics: AResponse to Bialystok
Metaphors have a way of elucidating phenomena that defy empirical description. I was pleased to see that Ellen Bialystok had borrowed one of my favorite metaphors in her description of the growth of applied linguistics over the fifty years of Language Learning's existence. Some years ago (Brown, 1978) I chose the human development metaphor to describe processes of change in the language teaching profession. With this implicit permission, let me a…
Resources in Language Teacher Education
Book reviewed in this article: The Practice of English Language Teaching (2nd ed.). Jeremy Harmer. Teaching by Principles: An Interactive Approach to Language Pedagogy. H. Douglas Brown. Language Teaching Methodology: A Textbook for Teachers. David Nunan. Reflective Teaching in Second Language Classrooms. Jack C. Richards and Charles Lockhart
Challenges: A Process Approach to Academic English
Using authentic material, this book develops reading strategies before going onto a process writing approach which aims to help students with the act of writing. It presents writing and reading as interactive and thinking processes in which students are encouraged to be creative and analytical
Breaking the Language Barrier: Creating Your Own Pathway to Success
This text demystifies the language-learning process by exploring such elements as left brain/right brain functions, the development of self-confidence and the discovery of one's personal learning style. It includes five self-tests to assist this discovery process. Topics covered include the role of language identity, acquiring a second language identity, motivation and learning to make and tolerate mistakes
Tesol at Twenty-Five: What Are the Issues
Four major themes appear to be running through ESOL teaching and research efforts at the present time: (a) In our focus on learners, we are attempting to capitalize on their intrinsic motivation to learn English as a means to their empowerment; (b) sociopolitical issues have us focused on English as an international language and on language policy issues in many countries, including the U. S.; (c) efforts are being made to make curricula more con…
The Consensus: Another View
The Optimal Distance Model of Second Language Acquisition
The critical period hypothesis has been viewed in recent second language research as a biological or developmental phenomenon which explains the inability of learners to acquire certain aspects of a second language beyond a certain age. It is hypothesized here that such explanations are limited, and that sociocultural factors more successfully define a critical period. Research in four related areas-stages of acculturation, anomie, social distanc…

Some Limitations of C-L/CLL Models of Second Language Teaching
Several years ago language teachers were introduced to a new and bold concept of teaching a second language (L2) in the counseling-learning (C-L), whole-person model of education, and more specifically, community language learning (CLL). Language teachers have benefited and will continue to benefit from the insights of the C-L/CLL model. It has focused our attention on the whole person, on the affective domain, and on revolutionary methods of tea…

Creations and Destroyings: Keats's Protestant Hymn, the "Ode to Psyche"
Affective Variables in Second Language Acquisition
Affective variables have not been adequately investigated in the study of second language acquisition. Imitation, egoism, and inhibition are three egocentric factors which have been treated only lightly in previous research. Three social variables, empathy, introversion/extroversion, and aggression, may be keys to understanding the social nature of second language learning. And the merging of cognition and affect in “cognitive styles,” which vary…
The Psychological Reality of 'Grammar' in the ESL Classroom
Finding innovative, motivating techniques for teaching in the ESL classroom taxes the creative imagination of teachers, and therefore such classes often degenerate into teacher monologues, linguistic debates, and rote classroom exercises, all of which can lead to monotony and boredom. One of the reasons for this state of affairs is that grammar itself is a rather ill-conceived notion in many textbooks and curricula. A redefinition of as something…

The Nkumu of the Tumba: Ritual Chieftainship on the Middle Congo
Opening ParagraphThe tribes living round Lake Tumba, a lake some thirty-five miles long by twelve wide lying north of Lake Leopold II (approximately o° 30′ south latitude, and 18° east longitude) and draining into the Congo River at the confluence of the Ubangi, lack cohesion and show a considerable variety of custom and language. But they are known collectively as Tumba, the Government adaptation of the Native term Ntomba. Most of them are found…
