Population diversity is becoming more prevalent globally with
increasing immigration, emigration, and refugee placement. These
circumstances increase the likelihood that a child will be raised
speaking a different language in the home than the common language
used in each country. This necessitates the development of
comprehensive strategies that promote second language learning
through the adoption of new technological advancements. New
Technological Applications for Foreign and Second Language Learning
and Teaching is a scholarly publication that explores how the
latest technologies have the potential to engage foreign and second
language learners both within and outside the language classroom
and to facilitate language learning and teaching in the target
language. Highlighting a range of topics such as learning
analytics, digital games, and telecollaboration, this book is ideal
for teachers, instructional designers, curriculum developers, IT
consultants, educational software developers, language learning
specialists, academicians, administrators, professionals,
researchers, and students.

'As the author of a new book, Professionalizing Leadership, in
which I take on the leadership industry, specifically the often
careless and casual way in which we profess to teach how to lead,
it gives me particular pleasure to highly recommend Teaching
Leadership by Perruci and Hall. Though it's possible to take issue
with some specifics, to anyone with any interest in leadership as
pedagogical practice, especially but not exclusively at the
undergraduate level, I say this book is not to be missed.' -
Barbara Kellerman, Harvard University, US and author of, among
others, The End of Leadership, Followership, and Bad Leadership
'This book is a must read for educators and students who want to
master the fine art of developing leaders and becoming leaders.' -
Prasad Kaipa, Kaipa Group, US 'Teaching Leadership takes the reader
from leadership traits to leadership transformation, and models the
pedagogy it professes. Those of us who bridge theory and practice
on a daily basis will find the historical, theoretical, and
philosophical context in which leadership education, training and
development are defined an invaluable prism through which we better
understand the why, what and how of leadership. While this book
comes close to being the canon we incessantly seek, the authors
intentionally avoid this. Instead, they present an integrated
complexity of information with glorious clarity. The coalescence of
scientific knowledge, philosophical grounding, intentionality,
reflection, preparation, thoroughness, program design and
evaluation on which Teaching Leadership is based, is a benchmark
for best practice in teaching and forming leadership.' - Katherine
Tyler Scott, Ki ThoughtBridge LLC, US Can we really teach
leadership? Yes, we can, and this book provides innovative ways of
doing so. It is designed to help educators contribute to their
learners? leadership development by expanding and enhancing their
knowledge and competencies through a study of theory, practice and
experiential learning. We need effective leaders at all levels of
society. The more educators do to prepare leaders to make a
positive difference, the better off the world will be. Educators
can adjust, adopt, and adapt concrete examples provided in this
book to fit their own organizations? needs. The authors explore
time-tested efforts at linking leadership theory and practice in
ways that promote meaningful leadership development for our
learners. Starting from ''?why?'' and ''?what?'' about leadership,
the book progresses to ''?how?'' to organize teaching leadership.
It emphasizes lessons learned as a result of decades of experience
in the design, implementation, and evaluation of nationally
recognized leadership programs. Each chapter includes reflection
questions that allow educators to consider how the content is
relevant or can be applied to their own institutional context.
Teaching Leadership is written for educators and practitioners in
undergraduate and graduate-level leadership programs, in
professional schools, in technical institutes, and in government
institutions, as well as for those working in for-profit and
not-for-profit organizations.

Given the increasing diversity of the United States and students
entering schools, the value of teacher learning in clinical
contexts, and the need to elevate the profession, national
organizations have been calling for a re-envisioning of teacher
preparation that turns teacher education upside down. This change
will require PK-12 schools and universities to partner in robust
ways to create strong professional learning experiences for
aspiring teachers. University faculty, in particular, will not only
need to work in schools, but they will need to work with schools in
the preparation of future teachers. This collaboration should
promote greater equity and justice for our nation's students. The
purpose of this book is to support individuals in designing
clinically based teacher preparation programs that place equity at
the core. Drawing from the literature as well as our experiences in
designing and coordinating award-winning teacher education
programs, we offer a vision for equity-centered, clinically based
preparation that promotes powerful teacher professional learning
and develops high-quality, equity-centered teachers for schools.
The chapter topics include policy guidelines, partnerships,
intentional clinical experiences, coherence, curriculum and
coursework, university-based teacher educators, school-based
teacher educators, teacher candidate supervision and evaluation,
the role of research, and instructional leadership in teacher
preparation. While the concepts we share are research-based and
grounded in the empirical literature, our primary intention is for
this book to be of practical use. We hope that by the time you
finish reading, you will feel inspired and equipped to make change
within your own program, your institution, and your local context.
We begin each chapter with a "Before You Read" section that
includes introductory activities or self-assessment questions to
prompt reflection about the current state of your teacher
preparation program. We also weave examples, a "Spotlight from
Practice," in the form of vignettes designed to spark your thinking
for program improvement. Finally, we conclude each chapter with a
section called "Exercises for Action," which are questions or
activities to help you (re)imagine and move toward action in the
(re)design of your teacher preparation program. We hope that you
will use the exercises by yourself, but perhaps more importantly,
with others to stimulate conversations about how you can build upon
what you are already doing well to make your program even better.
This guidebook is designed to be the high school teacher's friend
in addressing a wide variety of questions regarding the use of
educational and instructional technologies. It can serve as a
companion and guide through the myriad challenges and opportunities
related to the effective use of technology in one's classroom and
school. A sample of U.S. high school teachers provided us with
detailed answers about their experiences with using technology in
their teaching. Specifically, they shared their challenges,
barriers, ideas, and suggestions for working successfully with
administrators, technology specialists, students, fellow teachers,
and parents when teaching with technology. We have organized the
teachers' experiences and recommendations according to each
stakeholder group. Rather than recommending or reviewing specific
educational technology companies, applications, or tools, we
provide a large number of strategies that are "built to last" and
should be applicable regardless of the specific tool under
consideration. We assume that it doesn't ultimately matter what the
tool or technology is that you're using-it's how and why you're
using it for teaching and learning that will determine whether it
is successful or not. The "how" and "why" aspects encompass the
built-to-last strategies included in this guidebook.
Research in neuroscience and brain imaging show that exposure of
learners to multi-semiotic problems enhance cognitive control of
inter-hemispheric attentional processing in the lateral brain and
increase higher-order thinking. Multi-semiotic representations of
conceptual meaning are found in most knowledge domains where issues
of quantity, structure, space, and change play important roles,
including applied sciences and social science. Teaching courses in
History and Theory of Architecture to young architecture students
with pedagogy for conceptual thinking allows them to connect
analysis of historic artifact, identify pattern of design ideas
extracted from the precedent, and transfer concepts of good design
into their creative design process. Pedagogy for Conceptual
Thinking and Meaning Equivalence: Emerging Research and
Opportunities is a critical scholarly resource that demonstrates an
instructional and assessment methodology that enhances higher-order
thinking, deepens comprehension of conceptual content, and improves
learning outcomes. Based on the rich literature on word meaning and
concept formation in linguistics and semiotics, and in
developmental and cognitive psychology, it shows how independent
studies in these disciplines converge on the necessary clues for
constructing a procedure for the demonstration of mastery of
knowledge with equivalence-of-meaning across multiple
representations. Featuring a wide range of topics such as
curriculum design, learning outcomes, and STEM education, this book
is essential for curriculum developers, instructional designers,
teachers, administrators, education professionals, academicians,
policymakers, and researchers.
