The Cambridge Guide to Blended Learning for Language Teaching makes the case that it is pedagogy, rather than technology, that should underpin the design of blended learning programmes. The book is organised into five sections: Connecting Theories and Blended Learning; Implications for Teaching; Rethinking Learner Interaction; Case Studies; The Future of Blended Learning. With its research-informed and practitioner-focused approach, this book is ideal for language teachers and language centre managers looking to broaden their understanding of pedagogy and blended learning. It will also be of interest to anyone working on blended learning course design or delivering teacher training courses.

ResumoO estudo aqui exposto é parte de uma pesquisa de mestrado em andamento desenvolvida no Programa de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Metodologias para o Ensino de Linguagens e suas Tecnologias. Trata-se de uma investigação que tem o propósito de retratar a pesquisa acadêmica encontrada no repositório de publicações da Associação Brasileira de Ensino em Engenharia – ABENGE –. Para a realização desta pesquisa bibliográfica buscou-se no repositório. os artigos publicados em um período de 12 anos – a partir de 2006 até 2018. Selecionou-se publicações que tiveram como foco a utilização de softwares para desenvolver processos de ensino e de aprendizagem de disciplinas de cursos de engenharia. Dos 397 artigos encontrados, 25 foram selecionados como instrumento de análise para esta pesquisa, dos quais, 14 deles foram publicados em 2017 e 2018. Analisando as tais publicações, pôde concluir que o método qualitativo se sobressaiu acima do quantitativo e quali-quanti, e ainda 44% dos artigos se basearam em questionários, avaliações ou entrevistas, seguidos de 40% de pesquisas bibliográficas. No tocante aos resultados foi possível identificar que quase a totalidade dos estudos concluiu que a utilização de diferentes metodologias, dentre elas softwares para o ensino, é fundamental para a inserção do futuro engenheiro ao mercado atual. Palavras-chave: Ensino de Engenharia. Processos de Ensino e de Aprendizagem. Tecnologia Computacional. AbstractThe study here presented is part of an ongoing master's research developed at the Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program in Methodologies for Language Teaching and its Technologies. It is an investigation that has the purpose of portraying the academic research found in the repository of publications of the Brazilian Association of Engineering Teaching - ABENGE. In order to carry out this bibliographical research, the repository was searched for articles published over a period of 12 years - from 2006 to 2018. Publications that focused on the use of software to develop teaching and learning processes for engineering courses were selected. Of the 397 articles found, 25 were selected as analysis tools for this research, 14 of which were published in 2017 and 2018. Analyzing these publications, it was possible to conclude that the qualitative method stood out above the quantitative and quali-quantitative methods, and 44% of the articles were based on questionnaires, evaluations or interviews, followed by 40% of bibliographical research. Regarding the results, it was possible to identify that almost all the studies concluded that the use of different methodologies, including software for teaching, is fundamental for the insertion of the future engineer in the current market.

This research aims to figure out the types of personification used in one of the famous albums namely Michael Jackson's Thriller and Invincible. The sources of data were 19 songs taken from Thriller and Invincible albums by Michael Jackson and the lyrics of the songs. The research design used was descriptive qualitative research with documentation analysis as the technique of data collection. The result showed that there were 65 personification expressions found in the albums. Those 65 personifications were categorized into four types of personification as proposed by Dorst et al. (2011) namely: conventionalized personification (33 expressions), novel personification (20 expressions), default personification (12 expressions), and personification-with-metonymy (0 expressions). The idea of conventionalized personification presents in the lyrics is to dig out the beauty and tranquility of nature to life. It also might address giving an object or animal-human characteristics to create interesting imagery to the ELT Students. Also, these songs are assumed as one of the various English materials in language teaching in the future since it has no sarcasm and motivating contexts throughout the lyrics themselves.

We examine the main trends in foreign language teaching for professional communication in high school students of the “Jurisprudence” programme, the impact of studying on the formation of general cultural and professional competences, as well as differentiation on various training profiles and their influence on the future professional activity. Allocation of training profiles for law students are conditioned both by the capabilities of a particular higher education institution and by the needs of the region for specialists with fundamental knowledge in certain areas of law. In most universities of the Russian Federation within the framework of the “Jurisprudence” programme, three training profiles are distinguished: state law, criminal law, and civil law. Within the framework of the model of integrated subject-language learning of a foreign language for professional communication, the subject content of training should be correlated with the future professional activity of students and the profile of training. The analysis of the main modern vocational education programs (OPOP) in the “Jurisprudence” programme of most universities in the country indicates that the subject content of foreign language teaching is invariant for all training profiles and does not reflect the specifics of the future professional activity of graduates. We describe the specifics of training for each profile in the framework of the “Jurisprudence” programme and highlight the subject content of English teaching to students of state law, civil law, and criminal law training profiles.
