In this essay, we, a professor and a student, share our experience of teaching and learning in a class on Buddhism and cognitive science at George Washington University. Our goal is not to argue for one approach over others, but to present a guide on this particular class experience. We offer a description of the course and deliberate on the complexities related to the subject matter. Using empirical data from a survey conducted after the commencement of the course, we reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the class and how it could improve. This essay provides a possible template for other faculty members interested in teaching a similar course to extend the dialogue to a new generation of young scholars.

Marcus Cunliffe (1922–1990) was incontestably an important figure in American studies. In the early part of his academic career he helped to found the subject area in Britain, and he was later both awarded professorial appointments at the Universities of Manchester and Sussex and elected to the chairmanship of the British Association for American Studies, from which positions he served as a personal inspiration and professional mentor to several “generations” of UK American studies academics. Those who knew him and worked with him were invariably struck by his tall good looks, charisma and charm – characteristics that no doubt also contributed to his successful career, in Britain and in the United States, first as a visiting scholar, and later, during his final years, as the occupant of an endowed chair at George Washington University in Washington, DC. As the correspondence in his papers attest, he was held in high – and warm – regard by many of the leading US historians of his heyday. More might be said about his charm here because it also permeates his writing and persists there as a kind of afterglow, and not only for those who encountered him in person – but this essay is a critical reconsideration of his published work that, though appreciative, at least aspires towards objectivity.

Teachers’own experiences allows them to select appropriate strategies and learning methodologies to design activities that would allow students to stay motivated and achieve the learning objectives of the course. This represents a challenge with the new generation of students that are easily distracted, have little tolerance and patience , and are used to solving problems quickly by simply looking up the information required through an internet search. Before starting the academic year, teachers have to take into account the necessary technological resources to use, in addition to having r edesigned a course according to the institutional pedagogical model, without ignoring their experience in the subject matter. Incorporating the paradigm of learning through teaching, linking it with the service learning methodology and various challenging activities, has an impact not only on technical training but also on the all around education of the students. Better results are achieved in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and quality, as well as boosting students’ commitment and well being, thus esta blishing a good correlation between the student's interests and what we expect them to learn. The main protagonists are the students who teach and learn during the semester, gradually growing in knowledge, managing to construct knowledge themselves thanks to the activities carried out in class, at home and those associated with the service, whilst also benefitting a community with certain needs.

Abstract: The dialogical unity for the analysis of the Self includes the descending intersubjective interpenetration of the psychologist's lens into the self-others' feeling/thinking together with the analytic demonstration concerning the transformations of the objects that participate in the intrapsychological stream of the focused feeling/thinking. The theoretical and methodological issues selected for our present study concern how to make dialogical analysis out of empirical data and how to articulate the analyzed content to the interpretative whole situation from which the researcher and the subject matter are part of. Dialogism does not have a standardized procedure and we are not considering that there is only one correct methodological procedure in dialogical psychology. Nevertheless, discussing some dialogical approaches to a short story from Albalucía Ángel (1979), we found that the starting point for the dialogical analysis should be the mediated relation of the Self with the others, emphasizing the relevance of the extra-verbal concrete situation.

Descriptive Method

This research discusses one of the types of subjects functioning as a theme proposed by Halliday (1985) in the English Declarative Clause which is called the Psychological Subject. Halliday claims the interpretation of Psychological subject into as something which is the concern of the message. It is the first constituent which becomes a ‘subject-matter’ of the clause. The data are taken from two kinds of books. The first one is an autobiography book and the second one is a medical book. The aim of this research is to identify the kinds of the theme found in psychological subjects in the English Declarative Clause and also categories found in psychological subjects functioning as a theme. The method used is a descriptive method and the technique employed is paraphrasing. The descriptive method was used to depict the empirical data discovered in those sources. Meanwhile, the paraphrasing technique was employed in order to explore the characteristics of psychological subject functioning as a theme, types of theme and categories of syntactic units. The study shows that Psychological Subject (PS) functioning as a theme can be filled by words and groups which could be realized by nominal groups (nouns and pronouns), nominal group complexes, adverbial groups or prepositional phrases. Nominal groups (nouns and pronouns) and nominal group complexes can be identified as unmarked themes which are ordinary, expected, and usual form according to Deterding (2001), Gerot and Wignel (1994) identified as the subject of the sentence. Meanwhile, adverbial groups and prepositional phrases could be identified as marked themes because they become the first constituents which perform the point of the departure of the message in the clause.

Learning Interest

Problem identification of this research is 1. Still low student interest which caused by Lack of attention of stu- dent to learning of PAI especially in subject matter closer to Allah SWT. Its very beautiful name, like students often jok- ing, often daydreaming and students often out of the classroom. 2. the method used is always monoton that the teacher always use the lecture method, so that students feel bored in teaching and learning process (PBM). The approach used in this is a classroom action research, which will be carried out through a few steps  until the research is successful. The results obtained on the prasiklus step the number of values  obtained is 453 with the result  of the average value of 17.42 with 43.55% percentage, from the  observation proves that  the  lack of interest in learning students in learning PAI es- pecially  the subject matter closer to the god SWT .The very beautiful name with the value category is still low, because the value obtained in the observation is still below the KKM. Because the value obtained is low, therefore the next step needs to be done, so that the results achieved can be maximized.The next step is cycle I with the total value of 591 with the result  of the average value of 22,73 result  of the percentage of 56,82% from result  of observation prove  that  student have interest but student interest of student have not show in full, and  value obtained in observation still below KKM . Because the results obtained are still not maximal then need to re-implement the next step, so that the results achieved can be maximized. The second step  of cycle II with the total  value  of 731 and  the results of the average value  of 28.11 with the percentage of 70.27%, And the results of students already interested but the student’s learning interest has not shown fully, given the  value  obtained in the  observation is still less and  still below  KKM. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the next step,  so that  the results achieved can be maximized. Step cycle III the number of values  obtained is 837 with an average value of 32.19 and  the percentage is 80.47%. From  the observations made through the observa- tion sheet proves that  in the step of cycle III students already seen  if they are very interested in learning and  the value obtained is already above  the minimum completeness criteria (KKM) that  have been determined. Because the results obtained are satisfactory, the action research is stopped, just until the third cycle. From the results of the above research proves that by using NHT method can increase student learning interest in learning PAI

Writing is sometimes neglected taught by the teacher due to the limitation of the time provided. Besides, in teaching writing, teacher tends to avoid the religious values in teaching writing persuasive text in order to build students’ character. However, students are required to master writing in order to express the idea or information in communication. Therefore, this  study  is an attempt to study the religious values in teaching writing persuasive text. The population of this study was  all of the eleventh graders of SMA Negeri 1 Kandis  Ogan Ilir. The samples were chosen by purposive sampling method.  As a result, two classes consisting of thirty students  in each classes were selected as the samples. The qualitative approach was used in this study and  observation  is the main instrument used to get the  data about the process of teaching writing persuasive text. The observation done from the beginning to ending of  teaching and learning process of writing persuasive text. Based on the observation, it was indicated  that the students were interested in learning writing persuasive text and got some religious values to build their characters. In addition, the students were eager to write persuasive text because of interesting materials. They could explore their idea freely by writing the main information and writing information explaining the religious values in writing persuasive text. By teaching writing persuasive text including the religious values, hopefully the teacher of English can select the material and content of the subject matter which infused the religious values during the classroom.

The Subject

Technology in education is somehow misconceived by many scholars who think that it replaces conventional knowledge and its transmission. From the onset of this chapter, the author admits that technology has a lot to offer and improve teaching and learning transaction in terms of curriculum design, curriculum implementation, and curriculum evaluation in all stages. It also sets a pace as an aid to learning especially during this era of technological savviness. To answer the question whether technology is a deciding factor on learning outcomes remains a work of further research and more so educational dialogue forums on the subject matter. However, this study has underscored the significance and usability of technology to learning and that without which learning outcomes become rather wanting. It is further argued that teachers who are half baked in the use of technology can bring more harm to education than good. To be precise, technology in education requires a “handle with care” machine. Teachers must be able to use the “machines” and not to be used by them.

Role Of Information

An academic library’s most powerful constituents are faculty and administrators. In an attempt to satisfy the needs of individual departments and faculty members, many libraries employ subject specialists. To the degree that a subject specialist is proactive, or the department is heavily dependent on the library’s services, those needs will be met. However, few libraries have developed systematic programs to reach all faculty members or to begin targeting university administrators as a special user group. The rationale for doing so is twofold: to educate them on the growing role of information technology in research and teaching, and to enhance their support for new electronic resources. At George Washington University, the position of faculty outreach librarian was created to fill such a need. This article discusses how that position evolved, the projects initiated, and the outcomes that have led to revised marketing strategies.
