Humor in the Classroom provides practical, research-based answers
to questions that educational researchers and language teachers
might have about the social and cognitive benefits that humor and
language play afford in classroom discourse and additional language
learning. The book considers the ways in which humor, language
play, and creativity can construct new possibilities for classroom
identity, critique prevailing norms, and reconfigure particular
relations of power. Humor in the Classroom encourages educational
researchers and language teachers to take a fresh look at the
workings of humor in today's linguistically diverse classrooms and
makes the argument for its role in building a stronger foundation
for studies of classroom discourse, theories of additional language
development, and approaches to language pedagogy.

Interest in language play and linguistic creativity has increased
in recent years, and the topic has been taken up from a variety of
perspectives. In this book, disparate approaches to the topic are
brought together, demonstrating that a number of phenomena whose
similarities might not have been immediately recognized, have an
academic home under the umbrella of language play and linguistic
creativity. The contributions to this collection illustrate the
variety of questions that can be asked regarding the social,
cognitive, emotional, political, and cultural mechanisms and
significance of innovative linguistic practices and point to new
directions of inquiry. Furthermore, the work exemplifies a variety
of ways in which this research can be carried out, as well as the
range of contexts in which it might be investigated, including
second language classrooms, online settings, and workplaces. Taken
together, the chapters serve to illustrate the range of work that
we will be accepting in the Language Play and Creativity series;
viewed individually, each makes a unique contribution to some
aspect of our understanding of creative language use.

miscommunication and drawing on a range of conversational data,

can occur, examines the strategies used by both speakers and
hearers to avoid and manage failure, and highlights the crucial
role humor plays in social identity and relationship management.
Beginning a graduate program in TESOL can be a daunting
prospect, as students encounter not only a great deal of new
information, but also new ways of thinking, writing, and
interacting. Many of the expectations are implicit, and it is often
not until they are well into their program that many students begin
to feel at ease. By making norms and expectations for professional
and academic behavior explicit, this text seeks to assuage the
anxieties of beginning MA TESOL students and facilitate their entry
into the TESOL community. The first part of the book is an
accessible introduction to foundational information about the
profession, including a brief history of the field and discussion
of current theoretical and pedagogical issues. The second half of
the book provides frank, practical guidance regarding the graduate
school experience. Students learn about expectations regarding
research, writing, and professional development and suggestions for
managing these.

In this context, the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority

refine their policies and procedures for senior investors as they
prepare for and enter into retirement. This book includes
observations and practices identified in examinations that focused
on how firms conduct business with senior investors. The
examinations by the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and
Examinations (OCIE) and FINRA focused on the types of securities
purchased by senior investors, the suitability of recommended
investments, training of brokerage firm representatives, marketing,
communications, use of designations such as "senior specialist,"
account documentation, disclosures, customer complaints, and
supervision.
