Classroom Theses Samples For Students

As society grows more reliant on computers, the internet, video games, and cell phones, a serious social discourse has resulted. Some authors, such as Prensky (2001), have argued that our society has a marked generational schism, referring to those born after 1980 as "digital natives" -- especially students -- whereas he calls those who were born before 1980 "digital immigrants." Other authors, such as Kuehn (2011), argue that the digital era that is upon us is less of a generational phenomenon, and states that everyone is affected by the digital revolution. Kuehn views participants in the digital world as being on a continuum ...

Pitrik, 2013). On the other hand, in socio-cognitive teaching, teachers offer scenarios whereby the students enter into the kinds of social discourse situations and societies that they (students) would encounter outside the traditional classroom. For example, students connect to various contexts for social interaction through the internet. In these contexts, they (students) meet and interact with native English speakers (Strambi & Bouvet, 2003), which allow them (students) to learn the English culture, and therefore, learning the language becomes easier. Therefore, socio-cognitive teaching explains the role of social interaction in the creation of an environment to learn a language, learn about the ...

Abstract
This project set out to examine the efficacy of a communication system known as the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), which is mainly used by individuals with autism. It is estimated that 30 to 40% of children with autism may not develop functional speech (Gerenser, 2009). With that being noted, this project broke down the PECS system in order to understand how each stage worked and why this method seemed to be the most ...

Abstract

Censorship has been a debatable issue for decades with critics viewing it as an infringement on the rights that have been enshrined in many constitutions of many countries; this is the main reason why the notion of censorship in any sector is met with extreme resistance; however, it is a part of history that those holding positions of power often use this idea to suppress what they feel are ideas that might lead to opposition or other fundamental ideas that might threaten their hold over the people; when it comes to literature it is important to consider the effect that this ...

Future of Higher Education in the U.S.

Implications

Defining education as primarily vocational training and avoiding important factors such as intercultural learning would mean that students in America would not learn to adapt to the changing world. As our world becomes more diverse, it becomes important that students are taught about other cultures and the way others behave through the education system. This would prepare them for global citizenship that seems likely in coming years as our world open up to other cultures and different way of thinking that come with it (King). Therefore, it would be a problem if ...

The effects of bilingualism in a minority language on third language acquisition

Abstract
In the area of language acquisition, bilinguals differ from monolinguals in several ways. It is accepted that previous language knowledge is facilitative in developing proficiency in a new language and both the learner’s native and non-native languages can be sources of influence in acquiring a new language. Given the evidence that in some social situations knowledge of a second language is facilitative in learning a third, the paper investigates to what extent knowledge of a widely-spoken but non-official local language can be shown to be facilitative in this way. The students in this study are ...
