Abstract This article investigates the way that Kurdish language learners construct discourses around identity in two language schools in London. It focuses on the values that heritage language learners of Kurdish-Kurmanji attribute to the Kurmanji spoken in the Bohtan and Maraş regions of Turkey. Kurmanji is one of the varieties of Kurdish that is spoken mainly in Turkey and Syria. The article explores the way that learners perceive the language from the Bohtan region to be “good Kurmanji”, in contrast to the “bad Kurmanji” from the Maraş region. Drawing on ethnographic data collected from community-based Kurdish-Kurmanji heritage language classes for adults in South and East London, I illustrate how distinctive lexical and phonological features such as the sounds [a:] ~ [ɔ:] and [ɛ]/[æ] ~ [a:] are associated with regional (and religious) identities of the learners. I investigate how these distinct features emerge in participants’ discourses as distinctive identity markers. More specifically this article examines how language learners construct, negotiate and resist language ideologies in the classroom.

This paper discusses the use of electronic voting systems specifically in a range of outreach contexts. The Department of Chemistry at the University of Reading and the School of Chemistry at the University of Southampton are actively involved in delivering outreach activities at primary and secondary school level with a view to inspiring a new generation of budding chemists. Voting systems are successful in engaging students across all age groups as demonstrated by our experiences with youngsters aged 4 to 18. They are especially effective at breaking down the barriers of non communication thrown up by students when faced with a difficult question and encouraging the participation of even the most reticent teenager.

Contemporary tasks and imposed requirements in the area of education are focused on improving the efficiency and quality of teaching, including counteracting the disturbing phenomena of the “day of liquid modernity” [1, p. 15–29]. The teacher's person is perceived subjectively, from the perspective of the contractor of professional assumptions. The dynamics of educational processes and progressive civilization changes forces us to meet the emerging expectations of educational policy. The look of many leading educators, among others Jan Władysław Dawid, Zygmunt Mysłakowski, Wincenty Okoń, Maria Grzegorzewska, Czesław Banach for personality traits of the teacher has gone to oblivion to give way to schematic and mass teaching. Increasingly, attention is paid to how? and not who? teaches. Studies in the field of psychology and pedagogy pose a question; What should the teacher be like? Using the following article, in which I will base myself on empirical research, I want to answer a completely different aspect, what kind of teacher would the students want?
