Aerobics has always been an imperative facet in school curricula, right from elementary to higher institutions of learning like colleges and universities. Its importance in physical and mental well-being cannot be overlooked, especially in this information age, where a sizeable subset of the population has adopted a sedentary lifestyle. Unwholesomeness is still evident notwithstanding its introduction and practice in most institutions. This is presumably due to the lack of a better way to utilize its full potential. This calls for better implementation, for which this paper is written. The object of this paper is to look into the application of sport skill transfer theory in teaching aerobics. Skill transfer is a method of propagating a skill from one docket to the other for the sole purpose of process improvement. Sport skill transfer is thus the process of adopting skills used in sports into the aerobics teaching curriculum. The transfer of these skills will transform the teaching curriculum and processes in the course of aerobics lessons. Some skills which the paper will be delving into are; the use of competition as a tool. Fair competition is always known to improve processes to a certain degree. Other than competition vs practice comparisons, the paper also looks into biofeedback for which it elaborates on the importance of employing electromyogram (EMG) in monitoring motor movements; bilateral skill transfer and the use of imagery are also elaborated. It further discusses the dynamics of aerobics and sports, drawing the similarities and differences of the duo and showing the application of the former’s skills in teaching the later, especially in this information era.

In the past decades, there has been a growing interest in the effects of language tests, especially high-stakes tests, on teaching and learning referred to as ‘washback'. In fact, high-stakes tests have started to be exploited to reform instruction and achieve beneficial washback. This paper focuses on the washback effects of a high-stakes English Test (ET) on the teaching of English. The main goal of this study is to examine the washback effects of the ET on the following aspects of teaching: curriculum, materials, teaching methods, and teaching feelings and attitudes. The study also attempts to discover teachers' perceptions towards the introduction of a speaking and a listening component in the design of the new ET due to be implemented in 2012. The overall findings, collected from a questionnaire carried out among 51 secondary teachers, indicate that the ET is clearly affecting curriculum and materials. Results also reveal that the ET appears to influence teachers' methodology. Furthermore, most of the teachers believe that the introduction of a speaking and a listening component in the new ET design will help solve the mismatch between the communicative approach they seem to value and the skills so far evaluated in the ET.

ResumenIndudablemente, la historia tradicionalmente se ha construido desde la verticalidad: mientras que algunos son los grandes protagonistas, otros quedan marginados del análisis del pasado. Sin embargo, a la luz de los cambios dentro de la disciplina de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, se hizo patente la necesidad de aproximarse a aquellos actores históricamente marginados. El presente trabajo busca exponer el trato que se ha hecho de algunos de estos colectivos apartados en dos planos: la disciplina historiográfica (antes y ahora) y el currículo de enseñanza actual, de tal manera de poder apreciar cuál es la forma en la que son presentados y bajo qué parámetros.Between the academia and the classroom: The emergence of marginalized actors in history and their teachingsAbstractUndoubtedly, history has traditionally been built from the verticality; somehave a leading role while others are excluded from the analysis of the past.However, in light of changes within the discipline of the second half of the Twentieth Century, the need to approach those historically marginalized actorsbecame evident. This paper seeks to expose the treatment given to some ofthese collectives on two levels: the historiographical discipline (then and now)and the current teaching curriculum, in order to appreciate what is the way they are presented and under what parameters.Keywords: marginalized, historiography, curriculum, history teachingEntre a acadêmia e a sala de aula: O surgimento de atoresmarginalizados na história e seu ensinoResumoSem dúvida, a história tem sido tradicionalmente construída a partir da verticalidade, enquanto alguns são os grandes protagonistas, outros são excluídosda análise do passado.
