The Linguistic Challenge of the Transition to Secondary School

A Corpus Study of Academic Language

By: Alice Deignan,Duygu Candarli,Florence Oxley

This book provides a unique analysis and description of the linguistic challenges faced by school students as they move from primary to secondary school, a major transition, which some students struggle with emotionally and academically. The study: • draws on a bespoke corpus of 2.5 million words of written materials and transcribed classroom recordings, provided by the project's partner schools; • combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to the corpus data to explore linguistic variation across school levels, registers and subjects; • describes the procedures of corpus compilation and analysis of written and spoken academic language, showing how modern corpus tools can be applied to this far-reaching social and educational issue; • uncovers differences and similarities between the academic language that school children are exposed to at primary and secondary school, contrasting this against the backdrop of the non-academic language that they encounter outside school. This book is important reading for advanced students and researchers in corpus linguistics, applied linguistics and teacher education. It carries implications for policymakers and schools looking to support students at this critical point in their schooling.

Coaching, Counseling and Mentoring

How to Choose and Use the Right Technique to Boost Employee Performance

By: Florence Stone

Coaching, counseling, and mentoring can dramatically improve employee productivity and satisfaction. But there’s a big difference between continuously encouraging employees to do their jobs well (coaching), attempting to fix poor performance (counseling), and helping top performers excel (mentoring). Unfortunately, most managers don’t truly understand how and when to do each. Coaching, Counseling & Mentoring provides helpful tools like self-assessments and real-life scenarios, and gives managers specific, practical guidance on using these techniques to improve the performance of all their people.This updated and revised second edition includes useful scripts for talking to employees about sensitive issues, and new material on topics including working with off-site employees, what to say when an employee denies a problem exists, whether or not to coach temps and part-timers, how to draw the line between the mentoring and supervisory role, and what to do when counseling fails. This is an essential guide for managers who want to build their confidence and skill in getting the most from their people.

Dappled Sunshine

Dappled Sunshine

By: Neill Florence

Dappled Sunshine begins with Gretchen Schillingberg reminiscing over the family’s journey from Townsville to Marathon Station near Aramac and agonizing over the disappearance of the Aboriginal girl, Bindi whom they’d befriended on the journey. Gretchen’s husband, Georg is turning his dream of building fine buildings into a reality with the near completion of the new Marathon homestead. Gretchen’s dream of being a cordon bleu cook in their own inn also seems to get off the ground when she’s asked to cook for the shearers, but her dream comes crashing down when the unpopular station Manager is poisoned, presumably by a meal she has cooked. With the Marathon homestead built, the family moves to Aramac where Georg has no trouble getting building work, but it’s the friendship that the Schillingbergs develop with the school teacher, Jerry Pershouse, that threatens Georg’s future in the town. Why is the building project, that Georg undertakes for Jerry, so toxic for so many in the community? Gretchen opens a café in Aramac and woos the town with her cooking, and all the Schillingberg projects including their newly built Wayside Inn promise prosperity for everyone in the now the extended family. Days before the grand opening of the Wayside Inn, however, history deals them a malevolent hand that could see the Inn destroyed or at least, boycotted in anger. Will the Schillingbergs emerge triumphant from this last deep shadow?

Social infrastructure and left behind places

By: John Tomaney,Maeve Blackman,Lucy Natarajan,Dimitrios Panayotopoulos-Tsiros,Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite,Myfanwy Taylor

This book explores the making, unmaking and remaking of social infrastructure in ‘left-behind places’. Such places, typically once flourishing industrial communities that have been excluded from recent economic growth, now attract academic and policy attention as sites of a political backlash against globalisation and liberal democracy. The book focuses on the role of social infrastructure as a key component of this story. Seeking to move beyond a narrowly economistic of reading ‘left behind places’, the book addresses the understudied affective dimensions of ‘left-behindness’. It develops an analytical framework that emphasises the importance of place attachments and the consequences of their disruption; considers ‘left behind places’ as ‘moral communities’ and the making of social infrastructure as an expression of this; views the unmaking of social infrastructure through the lens of ‘root shock’; and explains efforts at remaking it in terms of the articulation of ‘radical hope’. The analysis builds upon a case study of a former mining community in County Durham, North East England. Using mixed methods, it offers a ‘deep place study’ of a single village to understand more fully the making, unmaking and remaking of social infrastructure. It shows how a place once richly endowed with social infrastructure, saw this endowment wither and the effects this had on the community. However, it also records efforts of the local people to rebuild social infrastructure, typically drawing the lessons of the past. Although the story of one village, the methods, results and policy recommendation have much wider applicability. The book will be of interest to researchers, policy makers and others concerned with the fate of ‘left behind places’.
