Noam Chomsky, a world-renowned linguist, intellectual and political activist, spoke at the University of Arizona on Feb. 8, 2012. His lecture, Education: For Whom and For What? featured a talk on the state of higher education, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Chomsky, an Institute Professor and a Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he worked for more than 50 years, has been concerned with a range of education-related issues in recent years. Among them: How do we characterize the contemporary state of the American education system? What happens to the quality of education when public universities become more privatized? Are public universities in danger of being converted into facilities that produce graduates-as-commodities for the job market? What is the role of activism in education? With unprecedented tuition increases and budget struggles occurring across American campuses, these are questions that are more relevant than ever.

Introduction to Psychology (PSYC 110)

The last lecture in the course wraps up the discussion of clinical psychology with a discussion of treatment efficacy. Does therapy actually work? Professor Bloom summarizes the different types of influences that clinical interventions might have on people who receive therapy.

Professor Bloom ends with a review of one of the most interesting research topics in positive psychology, happiness. What makes us happy? How does happiness vary across person and culture? What is happiness for? Students will hear how the most recent research in psychology attempts to answer these questions and learn how people are surprisingly bad at predicting what will make them happiest.

This video explains a little-used, often-forgotten but very effective classroom management strategy for taking control of really tough groups of students right at the start of lessons. This Classroom Management method is for really challenging, noisy groups that take ages to settle, cost you a lot of time and cause you a lot of stress and frustration.

You'll learn WHY some noisy groups of students take longer than others to settle down and HOW to get them in a state where they are more likely to stop talking and listen to you so that they enter your classroom on YOUR terms.

October 1, 2013 | A core goal of liberal education, as it has developed in the West, is the cultivation of thoughtful citizens oriented to the common good. Confucianism embodies a powerful educational philosophy that addresses many similar themes. How can the Confucian tradition enrich the conversation about the future of liberal education in the United States and around the world? In this year's Berkley Center Lecture, Professor Tu Weiming, a world-renowned Confucian scholar and the founding director of the Institute for Advanced Humanistic Studies at Peking University, addressed this critical question.
Professor Tu's lecture was co-sponsored by the Georgetown University's Global Liberal Education Initiative.

For all the talk of gaps in achievement, opportunity, and funding between ethnic and racial groups in American education, a different divide may also be splitting our schools and our future. In his acclaimed and controversial recent book, Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010, scholar/pundit/provocateur Charles Murray describes a widening class schism. On Tuesday, June 26, he will deliver a lecture on what that divide means for U.S. schools and education policy.

What does it portend for student achievement? For diversity within schools and choices among them? Is our education system equipped to serve a society separated by social class?

In this event sponsored by the English Language Studies Department at The New School for General Studies ( and Oxford University Press ESL education specialist Diane Larsen-Freeman traces the evolution of language teaching methods over the past 60 years, discussing how each evolutionary phase has contributed to a more whole-person view of language learners. Larsen-Freeman suggests that when educators treat language as a closed, static system, they create a critical barrier to student empowerment. When language is instead seen as the complex, dynamic system, teachers are able to help their students transform their linguistic world, not merely conform to it. Larsen-Freeman illustrates how this shift in understanding has implications for what and how teachers teach.

Dr. Diane Larsen-Freeman is a professor of education and director of the English Language Institute at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. She is also Distinguished Senior Faculty Fellow at the School for International Training in Brattleboro, Vermont. She has spoken and published widely on the topics of teacher education, second language acquisition, English grammar, and language teaching methodology. In 1997, Dr. Larsen-Freeman was inducted into the Vermont Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 1999, she was named an ESL pioneers by ESL Magazine. In 2000, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Heinle & Heinle Publishers.

This short lecture explores some of the research findings from cognitive psychology that could have an impact on educational practices. In the first part of the lecture, we complete part of a classic study (Bransford & Johnson, 1972) looking what factors might help us remember. The results of this study indicated that having meaningful personal experiences before learning about something new helps us remember that something new much better than without those experiences. Further, those experiences need to be relevant for the information that we are about to remember. As a result of this work, Schwartz & Bransford (1998) recommended that there is 'a time for telling' meaning that lectures are only useful when they come after meaningful and relevant experiences. In the second part of the lecture we talked about a recent review paper by Dunlosky et al. (2013) that looked at a large number of different types of experiments in different learning contexts to evaluate whether certain types of revision techniques are useful. They report that some very popular techniques do not actually help with learning. We concluded the lecture with a discussion of these techniques.

The TESOL and Applied Linguistics Programs at Teachers College, Columbia University, would like to cordially invite you to the annual APPLE LECTURE 2013 that will be held on April 19, 2013.

Our speaker this year will be Professor Mary McGroarty from the applied linguistics program in the English Department at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona. Her talk, The challenge of multiple agendas for language teaching and research, will be held at the Milbank Chapel (Zankel Building 125) on Friday April 19th from 4:30-6:00 with reception to follow.

Abstract

Challenge of multiple agendas for language teaching and research

Researchers and practitioners with interests in provision of high quality language and literacy instruction work in an extremely dynamic context in which multiple linguistic, socio-political, and extra-curricular factors influence language pedagogy and education. Drawing on research in applied linguistics and education, I review some of these factors to elucidate the critical questions they raise for applied linguists, language educators, and education generally (McGroarty, 2013).

Multiple factors contribute to this dynamism. The reality of mixed and hybrid language codes (Sayer, 2013) is one relevant to many language communities. Additionally, the multiplicity and speed of electronic forms of communication and representational systems regularly employed by millions has attracted the attention of scholars who wonder whether and how these shape language use and forms of literacy in and out of schools (Heath, 2012; Rymes, 2011; Turkle, 2011). A socio-political trend affecting educational governance includes the popularity of school choice as a panacea for educational problems and proliferation of charter schools (Glass & Rud, 2012; Ravitch, 2010). While emphasis on school choice may, on one hand, contribute to increased segregation (Duncan & Murnane, 2011), it may also, paradoxically, encourage innovative program designs that incorporate multiple languages (Cammarata & Tedick, 2012) as well as multiple cultural, even religious, traditions across the curriculum (Fox et al., 2012). Philosophers (and others) question increased commercial involvement in education (Sandel, 2012), suggesting that increased privatization may bias curricular content and constrict assessment, particularly when accountability is defined unidimensionally as achievement on standardized tests (Ravitch, 2010). Language educators and researchers can use this information to raise awareness of the potential of and threats to approaches to language and literacy learning responsive to learners, teachers, and other constituencies.

What is your Philosophy of Education? What is the Role of the Instructor and Student? Three University of Lethbridge Faculty members discuss their views and passion for teaching and learning. Featuring: Robin Bright (Education), Ute Kothe (Chemistry & Biochemistry), and Hillary Rodrigues (Religious Studies).

My philosophy of education: progressivism for TTE 350

Lecture has been the traditional standard teaching method in classrooms for decades. In spite of its widespread use, the effectiveness of the lecture as a teaching method has been widely debated. We should be using lecture in our classrooms to teach students to think, motivate them to be interested in the topic, assess and refocus learning, and help them acquire associated skills. This webinar will teach you how to get optimal use, planning, and presentation of a lecture in your classroom, as well as, how to effectively combine lecture with other teaching methodologies to best meet the needs of all of your students.
