English | 2009 | pages: 216 | ISBN: 9048128404, 9400790627 | PDF | 1,6 mb
This book is an invitation to academic administrators, at every level, to engage in reflection on the ethical dimensions of their working lives. Academics are very good at reflecting on the ethical issues in other professions but not so interested in reflecting on those in their own, including those faced by faculty and administrators. Yet it is a topic of great importance. Academic institutions are value-driven; hence virtually every decision made by an academic administrator has an ethical component with implications for students, faculty, the institution, and the broader community. Despite this, they receive little systematic preparation for this aspect of their professional lives when they take up administrative posts, especially when compared to, say, medical or legal training.

English | 2008 | pages: 315 | ISBN: 1602350639, 1602350647 | PDF | 2,3 mb
The essays in NEW MEDIA/NEW METHODS: THE ACADEMIC TURN FROM LITERACY TO ELECTRACY pose an invention-based approach to new media studies. Representing a specific school of theory emergent in graduates of the University of Florida and working from the concept of electracy, as opposed to literacy, contributors present various heuristics for elaborating new media rhetoric and theory. NEW MEDIA/NEW METHODS challenges literacy-based understandings of new media, which typically pose such work as hermeneutics or textual interpretation. Rather than grounding their work in hermeneutics, contributors rely on heuretics, or invention, to outline new modes of scholarly discourse reflective of and adapted to digital culture. Contributors include Ron Broglio, Elizabeth Coffman, Denise K. Cummings, Bradley Dilger, Michelle Glaros, Michael Jarrett, Barry Jason Mauer, Marcel O'Gorman, Robert Ray, Jeff Rice, Craig Saper, and Gregory L. Ulmer. ABOUT THE EDITORS JEFF RICE is Assistant Professor of English and Director of the Campus Writing Program, at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

He blogs at Yellow Dog (http: //www.ydog.net). MARCEL O'GORMAN is Associate Professor of English at the University of Waterloo and Director of the Critical Media Lab. His published research, including E-CRIT: DIGITAL MEDIA, CRITICAL THEORY AND THE HUMANITIES (University of Toronto Press, 2006), is concerned primarily with the fate of the humanities in a digital culture.

Free Download Dr Dina Awad, "Advanced Academic English: A handbook for university writing with glossary"
English | ISBN: 1803814799 | 2024 | 132 pages | EPUB | 547 KB
This handbook is very helpful for university students because it has short phrases that can be copied directly into essays and term papers. There are no grammatical rules, descriptions or instructions. It is a reference book that can be consulted for any subject, major, or discipline because the language is functional and suitable for essays, reports and literature reviews. It is particularly handy for MA and MSc dissertations. The quick ready-made phrases can be projected by ESL and TESOL teachers as slides for writing and revision sessions. Authors and researchers can also benefit from this handbook if they are not certain about certain expressions or formats. This book is a good practical guide to all university students whose first language is not English, but it is also helpful for native speakers whose writing is usually more casual and informal. Unlike many textbooks and websites that try to explain the rules or overwhelm students with linguistic jargon, the glossary part of the book offers formal and academic alternatives to common everyday English. The glossary can be used as an academic editor that checks drafts after being written. It distinguishes clearly between secondary school writing and the style used at university research level. Since academic English is no one's first language, it is time to identify the unspoken traditions of the writing craft known in higher education.

English | ISBN: 1536128147 | 2017 | 337 pages | PDF | 9 MB
In the era of globalisation, English has become the world language of research and publication in academia. Apart from English-speaking countries, a plethora of non-English speaking countries use English as a major language in higher education. The discipline of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in the field of English language education has become increasingly important. With the rapid growth of students using English for tertiary studies in both native and non-native contexts, it is essential to examine the teaching and learning of EAP in a research perspective, globally, in order to reinforce students English language proficiency and help them achieve successful academic communication in the English language learning environment. Reviewing practices in different EAP classrooms can help readers reflect on the effectiveness of current classroom practices and teaching methodologies. The purpose of this book is to provide insightful information on current research and practices in EAP education across different contexts. This book also explores the teaching and learning of English academic discourse in an international perspective so that readers can gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of how EAP education is practised in different parts of the world. The first part of the book, Current Research on Teaching and Learning English for Academic Purposes, focuses on empirical educational research in EAP and its implications for future pedagogical development. The second part of the book, Practices of Teaching and Learning English for Academic Purposes, is more closely related to the practical issues of course design and delivery in EAP classrooms. This edited volume is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students on applied linguistics and English language programmes, EAP practitioners, educational researchers and policy-makers
