Today more and more ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse students enroll in our college and university courses. These diverse, multilingual students enrich our campuses and at the same time present challenges. Who are these students? What skills do these diverse students need to be successful in college? How can faculty help them succeed? For faculty in all disciplines seeking answers to these questions, this is an essential book. This text provides practical advice on how to assist these students with academic tasks and how to help them to succeed in the academy.
This book explicitly addresses ethical dilemmas and issues that
post-secondary ESL faculty commonly encounter and examines them in
the framework of social justice concerns. Ethics is defined
broadly, to include responsibilities and obligations to students
inside and outside the classroom, as well to colleagues,
educational institutions, the TESL profession, and society as a
whole.

This polished study of the uses of reason in poetry is a
philosophical meditation. Its basic thesis is that poetry is the
objective correlative of reason, and in this sense it attacks both
romantic subjectivism and the more general tendency to consider
poetic effects in terms of reason-emotion dichotomy.
Per Ardua ad Humour is a personal collection of humourous 'situations' experienced by Johnny Johnson over a period of more than thirty years service with the Royal Air Force. The stories have been wonderfully highlighted by 'Patch' his cartoonist. They originated from his very first days with the Air Force to his last days of service. Many anecdotes have to do with his profession as an Air Traffic Controller and also as an airborne radar 'Calibrator' operating worldwide between the United Kingdom and the Far East. Many of those who read this book will, I am sure, identify with some of the stories.
This book presents an illustrated collection of stories about the men and women of Essex who have become notorious for their villainy.
Johnny Johnson has been awarded an MBE for his remarkable services in World War II 'I was anxious to fight. Hitler was the bastard who had started all this and he needed sorting out. We were under threat. Everything we stood for: our country, our families and our way of life was being attacked by this maniac. He could not be allowed to win. So for me and many, many others like me, there was no alternative. We were in a pickle and something had to be done.' Johnny Johnson is 95 years old and one of very few men who can recall first-hand the most daring and ingenious air raid of all time. He can also vividly remember his childhood spent working on a farm with his controlling father, the series of events that led him to the RAF and the rigorous training that followed. But it was his decision to join 617 Squadron, and the consequences, that have truly stayed etched in his mind. On 16 May 1943, Johnny, alongside 132 specially selected comrades, took off from Scampton airbase in Lincolnshire. For six weeks they had been trained to fulfil one mission that was near impossible: to destroy three dams deep within Germany's Ruhr Valley. It was a daring task but, against the odds, Johnny and his crew survived. Sadly, 53 comrades did not. For the first time, Johnny relives every moment of that fatal night - and the devastating aftermath. He recalls with unique wit and insight the difficult training conducted in secrecy, the race against time to release the bombs, and the sheer strength and bravery shown by a small unit faced with great adversity and uncertainty. Embodying a whole squadron, and leaving a lasting legacy for generations to come, Johnny's story is like no other.
