Free Download Pino Cutrone, "Assessing Pragmatic Competence in the Japanese EFL Context: Towards the Learning of Listener Responses"
English | ISBN: 1443846066 | 2013 | 375 pages | PDF | 2 MB
With a focus on intercultural communication between Japanese and Americans, this book describes how differing listening styles and conversational behaviours across cultures can negatively influence intercultural communication. Responding to the many calls for studies examining the teachability of listener responses in the language classroom, the author investigates whether listener responses would be a suitable target for instruction in the EFL/ESL classroom, and, if so, what instructional methods are best suited to teaching this elusive aspect of pragmatic competence. By addressing these issues, this book provides exciting and novel insights into various aspects of applied linguistics. By supplementing language data and questionnaires with retrospective and longitudinal research techniques, the author is able to present a much richer description and deeper understanding of how and why participants used listener responses in the manner they did. With the findings supporting an explicit approach to teaching listener responses, this book provides language practitioners with a direction in which to move forward. Beyond this practical application, this study sheds new light into such theoretical debates as the role of consciousness in language teaching (the Explicit vs. Implicit debate), the universality of Grice s theory of conversation and the potentially differing conceptualisations of politeness across cultures.

Free Download Daniel S. Newman, "Building Competence in School Consultation Ed 2"
English | ISBN: 1032622318 | 2024 | 260 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Building Competence in School Consultation, Second Edition, directly addresses the need for practical, comprehensive consultation training, including support materials, for school psychologists, counselors, and other professionals working in schools. School psychologists consistently indicate that consultation is a crucial component of their duties but that they lack sufficient opportunities to develop their corresponding knowledge, skills, and confidence during graduate training. Drawing from evidence-based approaches as well as experienced instructors' real-world toolkits, these essential perspectives and activities approach the standard and less common challenges of the school consultant role.

Free Download The Bases of Competence: Skills for Lifelong Learning and Employability By Frederick T. Evers; James C. Rush; Iris Berdrow
1998 | 273 Pages | ISBN: 0787909211 | PDF | 76 MB
The Bases of Competence explains what skills and competencies students need to succeed in today's workplace and details how colleges and universities can strengthen the curriculum to cultivate these skills in their undergraduate students. The book addresses the continuing disparity between the skills developed in college and the essential skills needed in the dynamic workplace environment. By providing a common language from which to work, The Bases of Competence enables both educators and employers to create educational experiences of practical and enduring value. Drawing on more than a decade of research on companies, graduates, and students, the authors identify four distinct skill combinations most desired by employers-Managing Self, Communicating, Managing People and Tasks, and Mobilizing Innovation and Change. Using case studies and best practices from a wide variety of institutional settings and workplace environments, the authors show how developing competencies narrows the gap between the classroom and work-providing students with a portfolio of basic skills that translate into lifelong employability.
