This study is aimed at exploring the way the English teachers at senior high schools exercise power and domination during the teaching and learning process. Conversation analysis and critical discourse analysis were used to analyze the data. The data were generated from thirty transcripts of classroom interaction comprising of two academic hour session for each transcript. The findings of this study revealed that the English teacher still exercised strong power and domination in the classroom. Most exchanges were initiated by the teacher (93%), and the students involvements were limited to providing responses in accordance with the information initiated by their teacher. The teachers’ domination was also seen in the length of the turns. The teachers normally had extended turn comprising one clause or more, while students’ contributions were normally short consisting of one word, one phrase, and one clause was the longest in each turn. Beside the two indicators, the teachers’ power and domination were seen in controlling the topic, giving instruction, asking close questions and providing correction. Key words: conversation, classroom discourse, power and domination

This study investigates the implementation of virtual choir recordings in a choir class during distance learning. In this particular study, a virtual choir is defined to be a computer-generated sound recording that emulates a realistic choir sound. Students practiced their parts using virtual choir recordings for a period of eight weeks; each student received a recording that excluded his/her own part but included the rest of the parts. After eight weeks of progressive study, students recorded their own voices on top of the virtual choir recordings and submitted them as final projects. Student opinions regarding the virtual choir recordings were obtained through a 12-question survey. In addition, two experts evaluated the final submissions turned in by the students. The data suggests that virtual choir recordings can be helpful to students with efficiency of practice and can provide a suitable audio environment to foster conscious-listening, accurate intonation and perception of pacing. Improvements are suggested to make the virtual choir recordings also more encouraging of musicality, highlighting its future potential not only as a reliable distance education tool, but also as a supplementary device for real-life choir classes, when in-person learning resumes.   Keywords: music education, distance learning, choir, virtual choir, music technology

Ardith Collins writes about the wonderful and historical, evolving background to the Orff Schulwerk approach. With this approach, children learn music in a setting that is similar to teaching children a language through the concepts of play, sing, speak, and move. The approach is about process teaching, where higher value is placed on the learning process rather than the final product of the performance. Orff Schulwerk is child-centered music education with imitation, exploration, improvisation, and creativity at its core. Amy M. Burns demonstrates ways to utilize technology to assist students with various learning styles in creating, exploring, and making music.

This article draws upon the experiences of the author as a music educator creating inclusive music programmes over the past 24 years. She describes how informal learning gleaned from the approaches of popular musicians, combined with musicking as a means of building powerful relationships and critical pedagogy to infuse student voices into the teaching and learning process is a potent recipe for building an inclusive music class. Such a method needs to be guided by music educators throughout the learning process. Examining inclusive music education leads to further questions regarding what constitutes musicality and non-musicality in western society. When persons of all ages are involved in musicking in school and community contexts, music educators need to be involved in the challenges surrounding notions of musicality and non-musicality to steer processes that can create spaces for learning and growth.

RESUMO: Este trabalho visa fomentar uma discussão acerca do uso da tecnologia digital móvel enquanto componente de apoio ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem de língua inglesa, sobretudo em ambiente extraclasse. Pode-se dizer que o uso desse tipo de tecnologia como ferramenta educacional vai ao encontro do cenário atual, no qual tem havido um grande investimento em dispositivos móveis, o que nos leva a nos depararmos cada vez mais com educandos da Geração Digital – que fazem uso constante desses aparatos. Em outras palavras, os dispositivos móveis têm feito cada vez mais parte de nossas interações sociais e, em virtude da grande demanda, tem crescido substancialmente o número de aplicativos não só pagos, mas também disponibilizados para download grátis, que podem ser utilizados com o intuito de favorecer o aprendizado de línguas. Dessa maneira, apresentamos alguns aspectos relevantes quanto ao uso da tecnologia digital móvel no ensino de inglês, levando, sobremaneira, em consideração a sua finalidade pedagógica. Espera-se que os exemplos propostos possam vir a nortear futuras ideias de adoção de projetos educacionais que envolvam o uso de componentes tecnológicos dessa natureza em aulas de língua estrangeira/adicional.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Tecnologia digital móvel.

In other words, mobile devices have made even more part of our social interactions and due to their large demand, not only has it increased substantially the number of payable apps, but also the availability of the ones downloaded for free so as to favor the language learning. Thus, we will present some relevant aspects about the use of digital mobile technology in the teaching of English taking, primarily, into account their pedagogical purpose. It is expected that the examples proposed might guide future ideas of adopting educational projects which have to do with the use of technological components of this nature in foreign/additional language lessons.KEYWORDS: Digital mobile technology.

This article examines, how two Russian-speaking children (ages 9 and 11) learn Finnish morpho-syntactic structures in interaction in a transitional classroom at primary school. It also discusses whether the influence of the mother tongue is observable in the learning process. The study focuses on the development of prototypical possessive structure and standard negation. The data consist of 15 lessons, video-recorded during one school year. The episodes, including the structures used by the children, are analysed by drawing on the principles of conversation analysis. The analyses show that for both children the possessive structure appears to be more complex to learn than the standard negation. However, the children’s acquisition of these structures follows different paths. At the end of the semester, the younger child’s possessive has not become established in Finnish, whereas the older child has begun to use it in accordance with the target language norms. The negation, however, follows the target language norms, in both children’s speech.
