Research shows that over half of all college- entering students in the United States of America are likely to leave before they complete their first year. It is estimated that American colleges and universities lose approximately one billion dollars a year from first-year student attrition. Globalization, with its accompanying socioeconomic, demographic, and technological changes, is having a significant impact on countries` workforce and their postsecondary institutions. For a countries to successfully compete in the global economy, they need more highly educated and skilled workforces. Such workforces must be able to adapt to the needs of rapidly changing and more technically demanding global work environments.

The study sought, among other things to investigate the relationship between language use and language preference.There were a number of general findings. First, all students are bilingual in English and Setswana or another language. Second, students` mother tongues were fewer than the languages they could speak.In terms of language use in the various domains, some interesting conclusions have been made. First, the family is the domain where all languages, including mother tongues are used.But Setswana is much more widely used than all the others. Other domains such as school, office and shop are completely dominated by the use of Setswana and English. The findings on language preference almost replicate those of language use in the various domains. English and Setswana are preferred to other languages in all domains. In general,it is evident that the students` language preference is based on either formal or informal context of use. ····· 10361115311

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Despite the fact that many studies have demonstrated significant social and economic benefits of the arts, creative and performing artists continue to experience the highest levels of unemployment and underemployment of any professional group. Artists` careers are distinctive for more reasons than this. Artists tend to follow boundaryless career patterns characterised by non-linear career paths, and a patchwork of self employment, part-time, and casual work alongside continual training and retraining. In addition, artists often possess very strong internal career motivations and criteria for success, known as a protean career orientation. This book documents a program of research which draws upon what is known about the skills and attitudes required for success in boundaryless and protean careers to investigate predictors of success among emerging and professional artists in Australia. ····· 10361115070

The study also aimed at finding out the possible interdependence of these skills according to the theory of Common Underlying Proficiency, proposed by Cummins (1979). It was hypothesized that different types of bilinguals perform the same on tests of reading as a CALP skill and speaking as a BICS skill. A total number of 96 senior EFL students from the universities of Kurdistan, Iran, and Salahaddin, Iraq, were included in the study. Fifty two (28female, 24male) were biliterate Kurdish-Arabic students from Salahaddin University in Kurdistan, Iraq. The other 44 (12 female, 32 male) were Kurdish-Persian bilingual students of English from Kurdistan University in Kurdistan, Iran. The age range of the subjects was 21-24.

However, the influence of modernization introduced new institutions such as the churches, schools and the judiciary with responsibilities related to that of the aged thus replacing the roles of the aged and consequently their privileges. Thus, the aged has no significant roles to play in the modern society and the routine of waking up every day without doing anything depresses their state of mind, and reduced their social relevance in the society. It is recommended that government should adopt a national policy on the care, respect and the well-being of the aged by setting up institutions at the national, state and local government levels. ····· 10361114871

Written from the margins and spanning the twentieth century, these poems chart the shifts in literary style across a period of rapid historical change. After his travels, Bunting returned to Northumberland where he wrote the high Modernist poem which brought acclaim. Walcott`s poetry has crossed the Atlantic, from its postcolonial roots in St. Lucia. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1992 and, aged 80, received the T.S.Eliot Award in 2010. MacSweeney, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, wrote in a poem: I am the nightmare` and his book is a stirring example of the late twentieth century confessional avant-garde, published shortly before alcoholism took his life at the 52. These very different poems are chosen in homage to the outstanding poetic address shown by their writers. Students of poetry will find here a wealth of informed comment ranging across the width of the literary canon. ····· 10361114674

Some people think it is valuable for drinking, washing and swimming in on hot days, but I have to tell you that if you get several pints of water in your lungs you are going to die. Water can be dangerous and hazardous to human life. Is the above statement ludicrous If so, it is not more ludicrous than saying that carbon dioxide is a pollutant. For carbon dioxide along with water is a crucially important basic substance, essential for the life and health of plants, higher animals and humans. True, if you are unfortunate enough to be trapped in an enclosed space and the oxygen in the air is depleted you may die, but fewer people die this way than die by drowning. So why vilify carbon dioxide and not water I have been surprised and disappointed to see the climate change dogma become politically correct over the past twenty five years or so. In particular, I have greatly regretted seeing generations of children being taught the lie that carbon dioxide is a pollutant. These facts have left me no choice but to tell the story as it really is. ····· 10361114274

This publication, presented by Prof. Dr. Marcelo Lima, is not simply another book in the already mounting pile of texts published on the subject. The book deserves a special place in this pantheon of published works for the reasons given in what follows. Since the subject of professional education is being approached under several perspectives, Lima, right in the beginning of this book, explains which are his grounding principles and his analytical horizon and departing point. Assuming that education aims at human development, which includes, of course, work and the participation in economic life , the author tries to understand the relation between economy and education, not only in a direct way, such as training for the market, but, also and perhaps more importantly, in its mediate dimension. ····· 10361113247

Millions of dollars are spend each year, but the effect of these professional development activities is often low, sometimes even negligible. The learning activities used are seldom contextualized for the setting they are used in and participants are more often than not approached as tabulae rasae. The research described in this book shows the importance of thorough cultural understanding for effective capacity building, and the need for contextualizing training and learning concepts before applying them. Through socio-constructivist and collaborative learning approaches, a community of adult learners worked over an extensive period of time in order to develop a more effective methodology for professional development. Although the research presented in this book was carried out in the Cambodian context of education, its implications are of major interest for organizations and consultants delivering training and workshops in the broad field of international professional development. ····· 10361102674
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) audited Australian universities. At the same time, universities were increasingly using online learning technologies. Little has been written about how these two significant changes in teaching and learning might be acting and interacting at a time of increasing focus by universities on the educational marketplace. This book investigates the AUQA audits of three Australian universities which had different locations in the Australian higher education marketplace and had different approaches to the use of online technologies. Reid uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyse a wide range of artefacts by and about the universities. It is argued that AUQA`s audits do not support institutions` various market positionings, but rather provide the imprimatur of brand Australia` by producing representations of each institution that are safe and amenable to the audit process. The bounding and limiting effect of the quality university` discourse over the outward reaching online university` discourse resulted in the three universities being represented in increasingly isomorphic ways. ····· 10361102657
