Title:  Talking in Class : Using Discussion to Enhance Teaching and Learning ^TOP Editors:     Thomas M. McCann ... [et al.] Call No:  LB1631 T236  "Talking in Class guides readers in developing skills that promote and facilitate authentic discussion within the English language arts classroom.  Speaking from their own classroom experience, the authors introduce some basic considerations for planning, managing, and evaluating large-group and small-group discussions. The authors also explore how discussion can connect many phases and components of the curriculum; promote and support inquiry and critical thinking; incorporate current, popular technologies, such as blogs and discussion boards; and connect students to issues that are important to them and to the broader world of thinkers."

Title:  Teacher Identity Discourses : Negotiating Personal and Professional Spaces ^TOP Author:     Janet Alsup Call No:  LB1777 A48  "In this book Janet Alsup reports and theorizes a multi-layered study of teacher identity development.  The study, which followed six preservice English education students, was designed to investigate her hypothesis that forming (or failing to form) a professional identity is central in the process of becoming an effective teacher.  This work addresses the intersection of various types of discourse within the process of professional identity development, emphasizes that the intersection of the personal and professional in teacher identity formation is more complex than is acknowledged in typical methods classes, and accents the need for teacher educators to take steps to facilitate such integration.  Specific suggestions for methods courses are presented that teacher educators can use as is or adapt to their own contexts.  Teacher Identity Discourses : Negotiating Personal and Professional Spaces speaks eloquently to faculty, researchers, and graduate students across the field of teacher education."

Title:  Language and the Internet ^TOP Edition: 2nd ed.   Author:    David Crystal Call No:  P107 C79  "How is this affecting language?  There is a widespread view that as 'technospeak' comes to rule, standards will be lost.  In this book, David Crystal argues the reverse: that the Internet has encouraged a dramatic expansion in the variety and creativity of language. Covering a range of Internet genres, including email, chat and the Web, this is a revealing account of how the Internet is radically changing the way we use language.  This second edition has been thoroughly updated to account for more recent phenomena, with a brand new chapter on blogging and instant messaging.  Engaging and accessible, it will continue to fascinate anyone who has ever used the internet."
