Effective language learning depends on effective instruction. In
order to investigate whether or not this is taking place, teachers'
classroom pedagogical practices, both in-service and pre-service,
are frequently monitored by means of observation and feedback.
However, research indicates that although this process has
potential value for teacher learning and development, there are
also a number of attendant problems and it is therefore important
that practitioners share their experience with others in the field
in order to expand the existing knowledge base. This volume
investigates participant experiences, looking beyond the materials
used and examining the way in which language teachers are evaluated
and supported throughout their careers. Particular attention is
given to the practices and frameworks involved, outlining key
approaches and discussing tools for investigation and
collaboration. The book highlights the importance of the use of
talk to foster reflection and teacher learning, the value of
learning from experienced others and the importance of giving voice
to all those involved in the process of development and evaluation.

of the Bridal Paradigm while learning how to walk confidently as

day as the inheritance of Christ. You have been fashioned with a
divine purpose and placed on the Earth for such a time as this
Arise, into your identity and fulfill destiny as a history shaper
in this most urgent hour
Provides an accessible, research informed book for students, social
workers and other social service workers and community development
workers focused on practically linking climate change to social
justice in their everyday practice. Provides theoretical and
contextual analysis linking climate change and social justice and
integrates this discussion with specific examples and case studies
of original research and innovative practice on the ground. Of
interest to all scholars and students of social work, social
welfare, community development, international development,
community health, environmental and community education and policy.
This book provides an accessible, research-informed text for social
work educators, students and practitioners interested in the use of
story to engender the connection of human experiences with ideas,
theories, and skills. A broad lens is also taken to the ways in
which fiction has been used as a teaching tool in other degrees,
ranging from medicine to engineering to philosophy and economics.
Although the research explored is social work specific, this text
has applicability for any educator looking for creative methods to
teach complex theories, skills, and concepts. Showing how fiction
can be used in social work education, it explains why story matters
to social work, and how fiction can emulate these stories, as well
as the capacity of fiction to evoke empathy. Ways in which
educators can enlist fiction to create a ‘safe space’ for the
exploration of complex emotional terrain are explored, as are the
ways in which a community of practice can be created through
fiction. Woven within the end of every chapter some practice
examples and author conversations which work to locate the research
into a practice context. The text concludes with examples of how
fiction has been effectively utilised by the authors, in order to
provide a starting point for those interested in exploring this
pedagogical approach further.
This book will inspire the next generation of social work and human
service practitioners to integrate research into their everyday
social justice practice. Through highlighting the centrality of
values to the task of research and the possibilities for enacting
social justice through our research practice, it argues for
respectful, meaningful, and just relationships with the people with
whom we do research and build knowledge; acknowledges the ongoing
impact of colonialism; respects diversity; and commits to working
towards social change. With First Nations Worldviews – ways of
knowing, ways of being, ways of doing – weaved throughout the
text, this book seeks to both reclaim ancient knowledges and
disrupt Western research traditions. Divided into three sections,
this book provides a strong rationale for the importance of
research skills to social work and human service practice; a
step-by-step guide on doing social research aimed at novice
researchers; a series of examples of applied social justice
projects Bringing the authors’ passion for finding new ways of
‘doing’ research and contesting traditional research paradigms
of objectivity and the scientific, it advocates for knowledge
building that is participatory, emancipatory, and empowered. It
will be required reading for all social work and human service
students at both the undergraduate and master's level as well as
professionals looking to put research into practice.

This book gives voice to the direct practice experience of social
workers working in rural and remote contexts using Australia as the
primary case-study. The authors undertake a qualitative research
project, conducting in-depth interviews to examine social work
theory and practice against the reality of rural and remote
contexts. Practice examples provide the reader with an insight into
the diverse and complex nature of social work in rural and remote
Australia and the role of contemporary social work. Through placing
rural and remote social work in its historical, theoretical and
geographical contexts, this work explores a range of
considerations. These include isolation; ethical dilemmas when
working with small and closely linked communities; climate,
disaster relief and the environment; community identity and
culture; working with indigenous communities in remote contexts;
and social work education. Based on direct practice research, this
book challenges existing theories of practice and reframes those to
reflect the reality of practice in rural and remote communities. As
social work must continue to critically reflect on its role within
an ever changing and individualistic society, lessons from rural
and remote settings around engagement, sense of place and skillful,
innovative practice have never been more relevant.
Increasingly students and practitioners in human services are asked
or seek to include community engagement, participation and capacity
building in their work with groups. In this book expert authors
Amanda Howard and Margot Rawsthorne provide guidance on the theory
and practice of working with communities, from preliminary planning
and scoping before direct work with the community begins, through
to evaluation. They explore key issues including developing an
understanding of community life, facilitating and supporting
community action, understanding and acting on structural inequity,
managing negotiation and conflict, and building productive
networks. They draw extensively on their own work with communities
and research to create a dialogue with the reader on the
interaction of task and process in everyday community practice.
Written in a friendly and accessible style and featuring the voices
of community workers throughout, this is a vital guide for anyone
seeking to encourage positive change in an important field of
practice. 'This is a splendid addition to the community work
literature, offering wise and judicious guidance for those engaged
knee-deep in community practice aEURO| it acknowledges that the
increasing emphasis on individualised service options has too often
led to the neglect of understanding the benefits of collective
action within diverse and dynamic communities.' - Dr Winsome
