The Media

In this research project, students in applied linguistics were asked to keep blogs over a three-month period in which they reported on their online informal learning of English through activities such as social networking, downloading films and TV series and listening to music on demand. The study is situated within the framework of complexity theory, many aspects of which are well suited to describing informal language development. The blogs are analysed according to a number of learning processes suggested by Larsen-Freeman and Cameron (2008) and a corresponding range of learning activities are observed. Finally, suggestions are made as to possible classroom applications of this work.

The aim of this article is to discuss methodological issues that appear as video technology is being used more frequently in research on early childhood. Research with a video camera as a tool for collecting data has made it possible to more thoroughly interpret and understand children's experiences and learning. One video episode may be interpreted from several different perspectives, which makes the research elusive and sets claimson validity, on the other hand it strengthens the interpretation of the variety in the learning processes due to the opportunity to bring forth the complexity in children's spontaneous learning activities. In this article the concept of videography in research on early childhood education is discussed concerning its methodical and methodological possibilities and limitations.

Learning Behaviour

Nowadays, informal learning is very much part of everyone's life, even when individuals are not aware that they engage in informal learning. Therefore it is vital that individuals and organisations become aware of the value of informal learning. Not only that, but individuals need to take control of their informal learning and make it known to others. This article illustrates how e-portfolios, as a store of learning activities and resulting products, can support reflection on the learning process by allowing learners to monitor their learning behaviour. Findings indicate that ease of use is crucial. User interface design should accommodate the needs of the learner to promote uptake of the tool. The e-portfolio has to be an integral part of the learner's working and learning processes, and assist the learner by tracking and presenting his learning activities for easy inclusion into the e-portfolio.

Practical Implications

Through analysis of the language, this study aimed to investigate the current practice of using songs in public library storytimes. Language interactions in 68 storytime programs involving 652 child participants were observed and transcribed. Then, textual analysis was conducted to examine the language of singing songs, focusing on how language used in singing songs differs from spoken language in storytime programs. Specifically, the study compared sentence and grammar structure between singing and non-singing language and explored how topics and themes covered in singing language compare with those of spoken language. In addition, the study examined singing accompanied by use of props and movements. The findings of this study indicate that the language of singing in storytime programs is rich; thereby, signaling the power of singing with young children as means to advance language development. Practical implications and strategies for maximizing integration of singing in storytimes and other informal learning activities for young children are discussed.

This paper is the first part of a cycle comprising five texts on the marketing use of social media by nationwide opinion-forming Catholic weeklies in Poland. Considering the state of the research so far, it is not completely clear how to classify Catholic media profiles on social networking sites. On the one hand, the media activity of the Church is typically evangelistic in nature, but on the other hand it takes place in typically secular conditions. The evangelising role of the Catholic media cannot be separated from the opinion-forming function. The main objective of the project is, firstly, to assess the marketing potential of social media used by the aforementioned weeklies and secondly, to complement the previously described online presence of religious entities in the context of the mediatization of religions. This paper—as the theoretical background of the research—presents the detailed interdisciplinary literature review on the issues crucial for the project, as well as the methodological introduction to our study.

Abstract Complexity theory/dynamic systems theory (CDST) has captured the imagination of many in the field of applied linguistics (Larsen-Freeman, Diane & Lynne Cameron. 2008. Complex systems and applied linguistics. Oxford: Oxford University Press; Ortega, Lourdes & Zhao Hong Han (eds.). 2017. Complexity theory and language development: In celebration of Diane Larsen-Freeman. Amsterdam: John Benjamins). As recent syntheses of the growing number of CDST-informed strands of applied linguistics research illustrates, it has emerged as an important influence on applied linguists’ thinking (see Larsen-Freeman, Diane. 2017. Complexity theory: The lessons continue. In Lourdes Ortega & Zhao Hong Han (eds.), Complexity theory and language development: In celebration of Diane Larsen-Freeman, 11–50. Amsterdam: John Benjamins). The fact that CDST has continued to permeate questions throughout the field is to be expected and welcomed.

This case study is focused on teaching descriptive texts by using realia. The writer took the 8th grade students of SMPLB Negeri Ungaran as the subjects of the study. The aim of this research is to know the implementation of teaching descriptive texts that cover parts, qualities, and characteristics of the objects. This study was carried out around four meetings. In each meeting, the researcher observed the situation of the class and the setudents’ activities in that classroom. The data collection method used in the research was observation, interview, and documentation. In implementating the research, the researcher found several problems and difficulties in teaching learning processes. One of them is that, the teaching physically disabled students are not easy. It has to be slowly because the students’ ability in writing the lesson is limited. The other problem comes from the teacher him/herself that never uses media or tools to teach physically disabled students. It is a matter of fact that teaching physically  disabled students needs media to make them easily understand the learning materials. One of the media that could be used is realia. From this research it is expected that the problems could be solved and a new paradigm in teaching descriptive texts for disabled students could be considered.Keywords : Descriptive Texts; Physically Disabled Students; Realia

This study discusses the effectiveness of learning Islamic Education in a broad sense. The effectiveness is also supported by the role of school principal who is very active even though the principal is of different religion. Various learning activities in schools are facilitated and evaluated very well. Learning that takes place in the classroom is more dominant using the demonstration method because it is considered easier. In addition, among the learning activities that are quite visible are BTQ Extracurricular activities with Tilawati Method where this activity takes tutors from other institutions that require substantial funds. The other activities, namely PHBI, were actively commemorated, especially in the Commemoration of Eid al-Adha, which was never absent to slaughter Qurban animals. Various perspectives that say religion will influence a policy in this school do not happen the principal is very wise in deciding a decision. Religious teachers here always establish good communication with the principal so that every learning that occurs will run optimally. Learning activities in this school prioritize psychomotor or behavioral aspects but does not mean to put aside the affective side. All the learning processes aim to form students who are devoted, accomplished, and have character. تناقش هذه المقالة عن فعالية تعلم التربية الإسلامية بالمعنى الواسع. ويدعم الفعالية أيضًا دور مدير المدرسة الذي يكون نشطًا جدًا حتى وإن كان المدير مختلفًا في الدين. يتم تسهيل وتقييم أنشطة التعلم المختلفة في المدارس بشكل جيد للغاية. التعلم الذي يحدث في الفصل الدراسي هو الأكثر استخدامًا باستخدام طريقة العرض التوضيحي نظرًا لأنه يعتبر أسهل. بالإضافة إلى ذلك ، من بين الأنشطة التعلمية التي يمكن رؤيتها بشكل واضح ، أنشطة BTQ اللامنهجية باستخدام طريقة Tilawati حيث يأخذ هذا النشاط معلمين من مؤسسات أخرى تتطلب أموالًا كبيرة. الأنشطة الأخرى ، وبالتحديد PHBI ، تم الاحتفال بها بنشاط ، خاصة في ذكرى عيد الأضحى ، الذي لم يكن غائباً قط عن ذبح حيوانات قربان. وجهات النظر المختلفة التي تقول أن الدين ستؤثر على السياسة ، في هذه المدرسة لا يحدث الرئيس هو حكيم جدا في اتخاذ قرار. يقوم المعلمون الدينيون هنا دائمًا بتأسيس تواصل جيد مع المدير بحيث يتم تنفيذ كل عملية تعلم تحدث على النحو الأمثل. في أنشطة التعلم في هذه المدرسة إعطاء الأولوية للجوانب السلوكية أو السلوكية ولكن لا يعني وضع جانبا الجانب العاطفي. تهدف جميع عمليات التعلم لتشكيل الطلاب الذين كرسوا ، أنجزوا ، ولديهم شخصية. Artikel ini membahas tentang efektivitas dari pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam arti yang luas. Ke efektifan tersebut ditunjang juga dengan peran kepala sekolah yang sangat aktif walaupun kepala sekolah tersebut berbeda agama. Berbagai kegiatan pembelajaran di sekolah difasilitasi dan dievaluasi dengan sangat baik. Pembelajaran yang berlangsung di kelas lebih dominan menggunakan metode demonstrasi hal itu karena dianggap lebih mudah. Selain itu diantara kegiatan pembelajaran yang cukup terlihat yaitu kegiatan Ekstrakurikuler BTQ dengan Metode Tilawati dimana kegiatan ini mengambil tutor dari lembaga lain yang membutuhkan dana cukup besar. Kegiatan laian yaitu PHBI yang aktif diperingati khususnya dalam Peringatan Hari raya idul Adha yang tidak pernah absen untuk menyembelih hewan Qurban. Berbagai perspektif yang mengatakan bahwa agama akan mempengaruhi suatu kebijakan, di sekolah ini tidak terjadi Kepala sekolah sangat bijak dalam memutuskan sebuah keputusan. Guru agama disini selalu menjalin komunikasi yang baik dengan kepala sekolah sehingga setiap pembelajaran yang terjadi akan berjalan maksimal.
