Understanding, Evaluating, and Conducting Second Language Writing Research

By: Charlene Polio,Debra A. Friedman

Understanding, Evaluating, and Conducting Second Language Writing Research speaks to the rapidly growing area of second language writing by providing a uniquely balanced approach to L2 writing research. While other books favor either a qualitative or quantitative approach to second language acquisition (SLA) research, this text is comprehensive in scope and does not privilege one approach over the other, illuminating the strengths of each and the ways in which they might complement each other. It also provides equal weight to the cognitive and socio-cultural approaches to SLA. Containing an array of focal studies and suggestions for further reading, this text is the ideal resource for students beginning to conduct L2 writing research as well as for more experienced researchers who wish to expand their approach to conducting research.

Letters from Alice

A Woman of Pioneer Spirit

By: Charlene Spiegelman Plattner

Down through the ages there have been countless men and women who have lived intelligent and courageous lives that didn’t even make a footnote in the history books. Such a woman is the subject of this anthology. Women like Alice King have been and will be an inspiration to generations of young women. Although she lived in “a man’s world,” Alice created a niche for herself through self-determination, intelligence, and above all, an undefeatable spirit that never waned through her 89 years of life in the Rockies (1905 to 1995). Alice is to be admired for her genuine pioneer spirit, her zest for life, and her determination to live life to the utmost. Even when her eyesight had gone and getting around was so difficult, she kept her mind active by learning and growing and doing – right to the end. This woman was a wonderful example to all of us of how a confident, active mind can remain lucid into the declining years. Her letters reflect the personal strength and determination that guided her through a long and productive life.

Montana Place Names from Alzada to Zortman

By: Rich Aarstad,Ellen Arguimbau,Ellen Baumler,Charlene L. Porsild,Brian Shovers

Among Montana’s most enduring legacies are the names assigned to its geographic features and places found on the state map. As long as humans have inhabited Montana they have named places. While the past two centuries have changed the way people live in Montana, the names given to some rivers, mountain ranges, cities, and towns have persisted, while others have changed with time. Naming Montana explores the origins of more than 1,000 Montana place names, drawing upon the knowledge of Montana Historical Society historians and the expertise of local historians from across the state. This new publication includes both geographic features, selected historic sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, historic photographs, and maps. The authors’ extensive research illuminates the stories behind the names of places that we call home.

Gamblers and Dreamers

Women, Men, and Community in the Klondike

By: Charlene Porsild

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Gamblers and Dreamers

Women, Men, and Community in the Klondike

By: Charlene Porsild

The popular image of the Klondike is of a rush of white, male adventurers who overcame great physical and geographical obstacles in their quest for gold. Young, white, single American men carried forward the ideals and structures of the western frontier. It was a man's world made respectable only after the turn of the century with the arrival of white, middle class women who miraculously swept out the corners of dirt and vice and 'civilized' the society. These impressions endure despite recent attempts to correct them. Gamblers and Dreamers tackles some of the myths about the history of the North in the era of the gold rush. Though many inhabitants came and went, Charlene Porsild focuses on the concept of community commitment to show that many put down roots. This in-depth study of Dawson City at the turn of the century reveals that the city had a cosmopolitan character, a stratified society, and a definite permanence. It examines the lives of First Nations peoples, miners and other labourers, professionals, merchants, dance hall performers and sex trade workers, providing fascinating detail about those who left homes and jobs to strike it rich in the last great gold rush of the nineteenth century. In the process, Gamblers and Dreamers puts a human face on this compelling period of history.

Leap of Faith: The Personal Story of Bob and Charlene Pagett, Founders of Assist International

By: William Carmichael,Nancie Carmichael,Bob Pagett,Charlene Pagett

Bob and Charlene Pagett's story offers a clear example of what it means to live a life of profound meaning motivated by faith. Theirs is a story of optimism and the belief that every person in the world is valuable. It is a story of perseverance, of overcoming challenges and obstacles, all in the pursuit of the greater good. Their story is also a powerful one about what it means to take a chance. Not just any chance, but the chance to follow God's plan for your life to make a difference. If you need inspiration to take your own leap of faith, this book is for you. Leap of Faith not only shares the remarkable story of two people who in midlife took the leap, but it offers timeless and approachable principles you can apply wherever God has called you in your own life. Leaps of faith often begin with steps of faith―sometimes very small steps. Bob and Charlene inspire us to begin our own adventure of faith, and their story is living proof that when we dare to walk through the open, sometimes-daunting doors God provides, the possibilities are endless.
