PROJECT-BASED LEARNING IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSROOM: PECULIARITIES OF IMPLEMENTATION

The article deals with the aspects of project-based learning (PBL) for teaching foreign languages. The authors state that although PBL has much in common with task-based learning, which makes a task the central target of a lesson, PBL often makes it a whole semester or even academic year target and promotes learner centeredness to a higher level. PBL is usually comprised of three main stages: pre-task stage, performance stage and presentation stage which have their own peculiarities and standards to comply. Project-based learning allows students to achieve the highest level of mastery of a foreign language as it leads them to higher-order thinking, prepares them for academic, personal, career success, and makes young people ready to meet the challenges, gain the 21st century skills. Struggling students and students’ misbehavior and reluctance are considered to be essential factors that keep teachers away from implementing the method into life. Practical guidelines are given on how to get over obstacles and how to evaluate the outcomes of project work. The authors emphasize on the necessity of careful planning, team formation which will meet the needs of all the students, and elaboration of a rubric with sharply defined criteria (e.g., needs, accommodations, modifications, assets and team position) to evaluate students.

Witold Taszycki a polska onomastyka

Witold Taszycki and Polish Onomastics The author of the article discusses the merits of Witold Taszycki, professor of the Jan Kazimierz and Jagiellonian universities (1898–1979), from the perspective of a contemporary Polish onomastician of the middle generation. The author mainly focused on Taszycki’s way of organizing the environment and planning team research on Polish names of people and places. It is justified to think that it was Taszycki, not so much with his own works in the field, but especially through selecting and educating the staff, who, to the greatest extent, determined the present form and research directions of this discipline in Poland.

Malaysia Integrated Rig Sequence - The Benefits and Challenges

Based on the data of drilling rigs working in Malaysia from 2014 to 2020 as per shown below, it can be concluded that, historically the demand for rig in Malaysia is very dynamic and it was influenced by mainly the brent price albeit a delayed impact. The red line showed the Brent Price. With the dynamic of the demand, a systematic and well-organized methodology to develop an integrated rig sequence was essential. It is to ensure all rigs were planned accordingly and successfully acquire in time to ensure the projects can be executed as per expectation. A glimpse on the outcome of having an integrated planning between all the parties related such as host authority, project planners, procurement team, and rig planning team together with a right tool is essential to sequence and plan the projects and the drilling rigs requirement.

Exploring the Use of Ecosystem Services Conceptual Models to Account for the Benefits of Public Lands: An Example from National Forest Planning in the United States

A shared understanding of the benefits and tradeoffs to people from alternative land management strategies is critical to successful decision-making for managing public lands and fostering shared stewardship. This study describes an approach for identifying and monitoring the types of resource benefits and tradeoffs considered in National Forest planning in the United States under the 2012 Planning Rule and demonstrates the use of tools for conceptualizing the production of ecosystem services and benefits from alternative land management strategies. Efforts to apply these tools through workshops and engagement exercises provide opportunities to explore and highlight measures, indicators, and data sources for characterizing benefits and tradeoffs in collaborative environments involving interdisciplinary planning teams. Conceptual modeling tools are applied to a case study examining the social and economic benefits of recreation on the Ashley National Forest. The case study illustrates how these types of tools facilitate dialog for planning teams to discuss alternatives and key ecosystem service outcomes, create easy to interpret visuals that map details in plans, and provide a basis for selecting ecosystem service (socio-economic) metrics. These metrics can be used to enhance environmental impact analysis, and help satisfy the goals of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 2012 Planning Rule, and shared stewardship initiatives. The systematic consideration of ecosystem services outcomes and metrics supported by this approach enhanced dialog between members of the Forest planning team, allowed for a more transparent process in identification of key linkages and outcomes, and identified impacts and outcomes that may not have been apparent to the sociologist who is lacking the resource specific expertise of these participants. As a result, the use of the Ecosystem Service Conceptual Model (ESCM) process may result in reduced time for internal reviews and greater comprehension of anticipated outcomes and impacts of proposed management in the plan revision Environmental Impact Statement amongst the planning team.

The Contribution of Obeya for Business Intelligence

The main objective of the study is to minimize interdepartmental communication, potentiation of fast and efficient decision making, and computerization of data. Using software such as MS Excel® and MS Power BI®, a Power BI® tool was conceived to be capable of incorporating, for the entire company, the dashboards that collect the main KPIs of each department. After the tool was implemented, the company's paradigm shift was noticeable. Quickly, the weekly meeting of the planning team began to take place using the MS Power BI® dashboard. In this way, processes were automated and the important data for the normal functioning of the company became accessible to all departments, thus minimizing interdepartmental communication. The chapter shows an Obeya Digital that was implemented in a company in which all the performance indicators of each department are incorporated. In this way, information becomes accessible to all employees and manual data update processes are minimized.

Ethical Leadership in Troubling Times

An administrator in a PK-12 setting has is an ethical responsibility to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone on campus. With an increasing number of safety incidents on school and university campuses throughout the country, the development and maintenance of a school emergency operations plan (EOP) everyone knows, understands, and follows is imperative. This chapter presents a format to make sure students, staff, parents, and any others on campus at the time of an incident are safe. Following the blueprint created by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, this chapter walks the planning team through the necessary steps to create a safe plan to follow in the event of an emergency. Special interest is provided dealing with an active shooter incident. The decisions the leader makes can have a positive or negative impact on the student/staff at the site. An ethical leader needs to plan for the worst and have staff prepared to deal with the worst with the hopes of never having to implement the plan.
