  • “Understanding Organizational Models: Applying Tremblay-Boire & Prakash’s Perspectives to a Nonprofit Organization”

    Assignment 1: Perspectives on Organizational Models [20 points]
    This paper is designed to help you apply different theoretical perspectives to develop understandings of organizational systems. You are asked to select one nonprofit organization, research the organization, developing an understanding of what it does and how it does it. Then, apply at least one of the theoretical perspectives from Tremblay-Boire &Prakash (legitimacy or stakeholder) to the selected   organization. Your paper must include the following elements:
    Your paper must include cover page, reference page and corresponding headings.
    Introduction to the nonprofit organization, including its mission/purpose, structure, functioning, and key constituents and stakeholders
    Description of needs/trends to which it is responding
    Discussion of Tremblay-Boire &Prakash’s perspectives and how they help make sense of the organization model and its adaptation to trends
    Lessons you have learned from the application of various theoretical perspectives that can be transported and applied to your organization
    Conclusion
    SUBMIT IN THE ASSIGNMENT AREA AS A WORD DOCUMENT
    Each assignment must have a cover page and a reference list in the Fischler College form and style. Suggested length of the paper is 3-5 pages. You should offer 3-5 references outside the course texts. This scholarly paper should be based on research, not just on personal opinions and experiences.

  • “Exploring the Evolution of Second Language Acquisition and the Impact of Technology on Language Learning: A Comprehensive Review of Literature” “Exploring the Evolution of Technology Usage in Education and the Effectiveness of the Flip® App for Language Learning”

    Review of Literature, a comprehensive exploration of the framework
    underlying the dissertation research. Alternatively, the material from Chapters I and II
    may be combined into a single chapter, e.g., “Introduction and Review of Literature.”
    If so, change the subsequent chapter numbers accordingly.
    Since it began to take theoretical shape a few decades ago, the science of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has changed route many times: from behaviourism to cognitive approaches and sociocultural theories. The development of SLA has been impacted as much by changes in psychological and educational ideologies as by the progress in laboratory and field research. One thing particularly stands out over these years: a continuous convergence of technological innovations into education, especially in language learning. The evolutionary process—from the classic language lab to the current mobile apps for language learning—has not only changed the way languages should be taught, but also garnered new insights into diverse learner needs and how these needs can be catered to.
    This paper sets out to synthesise the historical and theoretical evolution of SLA with the disruption that digital technology has brought to language education. Looking at language education in its various pedagogical forms, the paper goes on to outline how technologies have expanded, changed and possibly even morphed pedagogic practices in recent years while also looking at how they have been and might be exploited further to fundamentally alter, revolutionise or merely retool established ways of teaching foreign languages.
    As we discussed in the exam, and in order to ensure you can develop a strong research proposal,  would are asking you to develop an 8-12 page paper, (plus references, not included in this limit) with literature review and research summary on Second Language Acquisition and also Language Learning and
    Please, first consider (and reference) the evolution of second language acquisition as a field over the last 30-50 yrs.  Much of this will be with reference to English acquisition. Please, also consider a section on the acquisition of Spanish as an L2 and reference the ACTFL standards etc. There will be some similarities, and likely some differences across English and Spanish.
    The point here is to underscore language acquisition as a developmental process. Since you will be working with adult learners, you should also consider the advantages/differences in learning another language (L2) after the critical period, i.e. after an L1 has been fully developed.
    You should be sure to include and reference the work of key scholars, including some of the following:
    Ellis, R. (1997); Gass, S.; Selinker, L. (2008); Krashen, S. (1982). Lantolf, J. P.; Beckett, T. G. (2009); VanPatten, B.; Benati, A.G. (2010). Brown, Douglas (5th or 6th Ed.) on Principles of Language Learning and Teaching is also a classic primer.  
    Also, include another section that considers CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) and the evolution into Language Learning and Technology  (there is a journal by the same name- see attached special edition).
    Other relevant journal sources include:
    Studies in Second Language Acquisition
    Applied Linguistics
    Language Teaching.
    I think, it is doable and you should easily be able to write 3-4 pages on each topic, if you divide it up across each of these four areas; 1) Second Language Acquisition; 2) Spanish L2 Language Learning, 3) CALL and Language Learning and Technology; and 4) Technologies and Spanish Teaching and Learning. 
    After this section I need a transtion to new tecnhologies in teaching laguage
    In recent times, instructors have faced challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has only served to intensify in online, face-to-face, and hybrid-language classrooms. Even thought implementing technological tools in the classroom was nothing new when COVID-19 happened, digital technology became paramount for instruction before and after COVID-19 surfaced. Cleary (2022) explored how educators and academics over the last 30 years have pondered technology usage in and beyond the classroom to create and improve learning opportunities.
    The uses of thechnology and the evolution in education 
    The uses of apps and finally focus an flip app
    The use of the Flip® app as an effective tool for language learning is further showcased in English language instruction. Budiarta and Santosa (2020) conducted a study at the University of Mahasaraswati Denpasar in Indonesia to evaluate English foreign language (EFL) learning among students who used Flip® app in conjunction with regular face-to-face classes. Echoing the observed benefits of previous studies, Budiarta and Santosa observed that students who used the Flip® app benefitted from the collaborative and encouraging atmosphere, which helped students feel comfortable when practicing their speaking and comprehension skills. Their study also suggests that the innovative nature of Flip® app is particularly well-suited for language learning in the 21st century, with students becoming more tech-savvy than ever before.

    Using the attached paper as a guide, write about (1) using action research as an approach, 
    (2) role of the researcher –  talk about positionality.Identify how potential impact or unintended biases will be addressed.My role in the high
    school is an assistant principal. I was a special education teacher, special education
    supervisor and then a special ed director before becoming an assistant
    principal. I conduct teacher evaluations. I am part of the district evaluation committee,
    district professional development committee.
    Purpose of the research is:
    Problem Statement :At XX High School, novice teachers are often assigned roles for which they lack formal training. This gap in preparation adversely affects their classroom self-efficacy, contributing to a high turnover rate and an increase in non-renewed contracts.
    The central research question is “At XX High School, how does self-efficacy impact novice teachers’ ability to fulfill their professional duties?”
