From a Transcendental-semiotic Point of View

Collected together for the first time in English, Karl-Otto Apel7;s most recent work covers a broad spectrum of philosophical issues. Highly original, this work will be valuable to academics and students concerned with (post-) analytic philosophy, epistemology, history of science, Heidegger7;s fundamental ontology, current debates about transcendental modes of argument, second-generation Frankfurt School thinkers and American pragmatists. It will be no less useful to all those interested in reformulations of Kantian themes and redefinitions of older ideas within the linguistic paradigm, as well as those who, being familiar with Habermas7;s work, wish to know more about the controversies and debates within the circle of the Frankfurt School itself.

English for Specific Purposes, Teaching English for Tourism

A Needs Analysis Based Approach

Tourism is, today, an enormous business industry, which employs millions of people throughout the world engaging the economic, social and cultural attention of users and providers in its services and its products.

On Listening Comprehension: Linguistic Strategies Used by Second Language Learners in Non-collaborative Discourse

Two objectives guide this dissertation: (1) determining which task reveals more comprehension by L2 listeners when they listen to a passage in non-collaborative discourse; (2) identifying the introspective strategies used to comprehend the aural passage. Both comprehension and strategies are analyzed in a study based on a psycho-cognitive framework in which comprehension of spoken language is assumed to be a process of decoding and encoding language. Comprehended language is held either in the long-term memory (LTM), or short-term memory (STM). Furthermore, it is assumed that listeners make use of strategies to understand language. Data were collected during a post-listening task, an on-line task and a retrospective interview. The two first tasks were designed to measure comprehension, and the last was an introspective task designed to probe the subjects' points of view on the listening comprehension process. Fifty-nine students of Portuguese at the University of Illinois participated in the post-listening task. Based on their recall protocols, twelve subjects were selected as High, Middle and Low-group subjects, of which there are four in each group. The scoring procedures of the recall protocols are based on Meyer (1979). The verbal reports collected during the retrospective interview were analyzed according to Oxford (1990). The results show that all subjects recalled more idea units during the on-line task than in the post-listening task when language is assumed to be in STM. However, the conclusion is that comprehension was best revealed during the post-listening task. This is so because comprehension is considered to be the manner in which one hears, then organizes the language into verbal units and applies meaning to language, not only the number of recalls, as shown in the on-line task. The subjects' introspections on the comprehension process revealed that the High-group subjects were more aware of their strategies. The results also show that the High-group subjects demonstrated more comprehension, despite having studied Portuguese for less time. Due to the fact that they were older than the others, it is suggested that maturational factors might possibly have affected the High-group subjects' performance.

This is so because comprehension is considered to be the manner in which one hears, then organizes the language into verbal units and applies meaning to language, not only the number of recalls, as shown in the on-line task.

Working with Underachieving Students in Higher Education

Fostering Inclusion Through Narration and Reflexivity

Working with Underachieving Students in Higher Education: Fostering Inclusion through Narration and Reflexivity presents an international and interdisciplinary approach to the study of the relationships between narrative devices and reflexivity in higher education. Stemming from a collaborative European research project called INSTALL (Innovative Solutions to Acquire Learning to Learn), it focuses on an innovative model aimed at promoting personal resources and reflective competencies in non-traditional, disadvantaged and underachieving students. The book is divided into three parts, with the first providing an exploration of the key theoretical issues that formed the basis of the theoretical and methodological approaches in the INSTALL Project. The second part presents an innovative narrative methodology and discusses the most significant phases of the training process and of the main products. The third and last part provides a broad discussion of higher education policies and of the need to encourage innovation and reforms to improve the academic inclusion of underachieving students. Chapters in the collection examine interventions in Italy, Romania, Ireland and Spain, using a broad transnational, intercultural and comparative approach, to consider narrative tools using four channels: metaphoric, iconographic, writing, and the body. This book provides theoretical insights and practical methodologies which can be used to enhance quality teaching and innovation, as well as to help adapt to diversity in higher education. It will, therefore, be of key interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of higher education; sociology of education; education policy and politics; cultural and developmental psychology; and narrative research, as well as to those studying counselling, mentoring and coaching
