Can dynamical systems theory be applied to second language acquisition? The issues of reductionism and intentionality
In this article we address two key questions in the application of dynamical systems theory (DST) to second language acquisition (SLA) that have not been resolved in recent debates about this issue. The first question relates to reductionism. Is an antireductionist position a necessary element of DST? We show that the radical antireductionist stance put forward by key movers of the application of DST to SLA neither follows from the mathematics of…
Explorations in Marx’s Theory of Price—Why Marx Is Still Relevant for Understanding the Modern Economy
This book is the first volume in a series that takes an in-depth look at the relevance of Marx's economics for understanding the modern economy.
An Alternative View of Sri Lanka's Debt Crisis
This article questions the validity of widely promulgated claims that Sri Lanka's debt crisis is the result of a combination of Chinese debt diplomacy and economic mismanagement in the form of fiscal and monetary excesses. The authors argue that if Sri Lanka has fallen into any kind of debt trap, it is an international sovereign bond debt trap. They further argue that the fundamental cause of the country's debt crisis is the failure of successive…
Using young learners’ language environments for EFL learning
In this article we explore how primary school learners of English in Germany engage with examples of English that they were asked to locate in their local environments (their linguistic landscapes, LLs). In association with each located image, the learners completed a standardised worksheet in German that asked for brief written comments about its location, the reason why they had selected the image and why they thought that English had been used…
Reflections of Vietnamese English Language Educators on Their Writer Identities in English and Vietnamese
In today’s globalised world, options have increased for how people write. Individuals who write in an additional language draw on their varied language learning experiences, their study and travel abroad, as well as their interactions with colleagues and friends in the institutions in which they work. While some features of texts produced in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts may initially appear to be simple appropriations of English a…
“Have You Noticed any Changes upon your Return”? Vietnamese Alumni After Their Australian University Experiences
Many individuals who study abroad return to their home country with the hope of applying new learnings. This paper reports on a videotaped group discussion with three such returnees, in-service English language educators from Vietnam. It considers ways that these educators feel that they have changed through their study abroad experiences and how these changes are accepted and contested after their return to Vietnam by their students, colleagues …
Enabling change in EFL teachers’ ideologies about grammar and grammar teaching through alternative pedagogies
IResilience of science pre-service teachers through digital storytelling
We live in a multimodal world where communication enabled by digital media supports the expression of ideas, opinions, instructions and experiences in a variety of formats that empower the individual to convey thoughts and emotions persuasively. In education, digital storytelling as a pedagogical strategy can be embedded in student-generated videos of narratives of personal learning experiences or in teacher-constructed stories that inform or ins…
The iPod Touch in association with other technologies in support of a community of inquiry in off-campus teacher education
Hand-held technologies are pervasive and convenient in everyday use, but less commonly associated with the delivery of teacher education programs. This has implications for the way graduate teachers view the challenge of utilising these devices once they become classroom teachers, as pre-service teachers generally associate these devices with social rather than educational uses. However, as current learning theory research focuses on the importan…
Has The Cat Got Your Tongue? Second Language Factors in Intercultural Difficulty Management
Previous intercultural communication research has relatively underplayed the influence of second language factors. This underplaying arises for three reasons: 1) the over-emphasis on the influence of cultural differences in intercultural communication; 2) the prevalent assumption that communication style in intercultural communication is the same as that in intra-cultural communication; 3) the dominant (post-) positive research approach in interc…
Marx’s Theory of Price and its Modern Rivals
Marx's Theory of Price and its Modern Rivals provides an original look at how Marx understood the role of money, extending his theory to consider how prices move over the course of business cycles. Key modern theories of price are also analysed; Neoclassical, Post Keynesian and Sraffian theories are contrasted with Marxian thought
A sociolinguistic profile of 100 mothers from middle to upper-middle socio-economic backgrounds in Penang-Chinese community
This paper reports the findings of a survey of 100 mothers of Chinese children aged between 6 and 36 months from middle to upper-middle socio-economic backgrounds in Penang, Malaysia. The findings include the language backgrounds of these mothers, their contextual uses of multiple languages and their language choices with their children. Through this survey, the mothers' multilingual language use practices with their young children were profiled.…
School experience influences on pre-service teachers' evolving beliefs about effective teaching
Blending Creativity, Science and Drama
Blending the arts into students’ learning of science concepts through role-play and drama is unusual pedagogy in schools. For seven Australian Year Five students seeking extended learning, advanced scientific concepts were learned during the creative process of script writing and production of a science play called Hectic Electric. A mentor and two parents were involved in the students’ learning and the script creation processes. The script was t…
Introduction
The focus of the articles in this section is the role of manufacturing-based industrialization in the process of economic development. It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that in the post-World War II period, up to the late 1970s, much of the literature on economic development considered the latter as largely synonymous with industrialization, and in particular the promotion of manufacturing activity by the state (see, for example, Academic…
Recasts as Feedback to Language Learners
Some researchers suggest that recasts are effective in showing learners how their current interlanguage differs from the target (Long & Robinson, 1998). Others have argued that recasts are ambiguous and may be perceived by the learner as confirmation of meaning rather than feedback on form (Lyster, 1998a). We review research on the effectiveness of recasts in first and second language acquisition, paying particular attention to how recasts have b…
