Foreign Language Learning: The Journey of a Lifetime
Teaching and Evaluating Writing as a Communicative Skill
The writing tasks that we have our students carry out are often nothing more than academic exercises that have little or no communicative content or purpose. It is incumbent upon us to integrate writing as a communicative act into our present use of writing as a support skill for ensuring student preparation of “traditional” homework assignments and for the purpose of evaluation on paper‐and‐pencil tests. This article presents (1) the purposes of…
Conceptual and theoretical issues in the study of deviance
The agenda for theorists of deviance remains as it has been for many years: adequate conceptualization of the phenomenon in combination with theoretical attention to the problems of how deviance is produced (deviance‐making), how and why deviance occurs (theories of deviance) and how and why responses to deviance take particular forms (reactions to deviance). We argue that deviance is best conceptualized as differentially valuated phenomena. Devi…
Testing the Productive Skills: A Creative Focus for Hybrid Achievement Tests
The testing of the mechanics of a second language is essentially an activity most appropriate to brief quizzes. The evaluation of mastery at the various stages of language acquisition is more appropriately carried out through the use of creative testing on hybrid achievement tests, which retain certain features of achievement tests and which incorporate proficiency‐based tasks that require authentic communicative language use. Such tests call for…
Institutional Sexism in the Underworld: A View From the Inside
In this report we examine the views of male thieves toward women as potential accomplices or partners in crime. Our interviews revealed, in general, that females are perceived as lacking the qualities for being good thieves (e.g., heart, trust), exhibit specific deficiencies which limit their actual or perceived ability to perpetrate crimes, and tend to be relegated to subservient roles if and when they are involved in mixed-sex crime activities …
Concepts of Pastness: The Passé composé and the Imperfect1
From the teacher's point of view, teaching the uses of the passé composé and imperfect tenses has been a frustrating experience. We have been relying on target‐language equivalents of English past tenses rather than stressing the concepts and implications of pastness inherent in these two French verb tenses. In this article, translation is not used and English equivalents are purposefully avoided. Meaning is stressed and time elements are concept…
Open syllabification and diphthongization of /è/and/ò/ in preliterary Spanish
Students Work with Monique and Learn French
In order to provide students with supplementary drills, basically in French grammar, a simple but highly versatile program of computer‐assisted drills called MONIQUE was designed for student use. Written in 2000F Time‐Shared Basic, MONIQUE affords the students a wide variety of optional, conveniently accessible drills on various grammatical and cultural topics. MONIQUE is a relatively inexpensive program to store and is very economical from the p…

The Influence of Organizational Factors of Victim Store on Willingness to Report a Shoplifting Incident: A Field Experiment

The basis for the data consists of a natural field experiment in which shoplifting incidents were staged or rigged in the presence of store customers who were in a position to observe and react to the shoplifting. Incidents were conducted in three different stores that had been selected on an a prior…
