1. Fremde und Exil: Paul Zech in Argentinien und Henry Kreisel in Kanada (Foreignness and Exile: Paul Zech in Argentina and Henry Kreisel in Canada).

Author

van der Leeden, Katrin

Abstract

For teachers of German as a foreign language it's especially important to provide a new point of access to one's own world through the "view from the outside" and simultaneously to understand the foreign (learner) culture. Analysis of different life paths of Paul Zech (1881-1946) in Argentina and Henry Kreisel (1922-1991) in Canada makes this possible and should lead to a new pedagogy of understanding. (AP)

Centre for Experimental Educational Research, Ghent (Belgium). and Verbist, R.

Abstract

This journal of educational research contains five papers written by international authors. The initial paper presents the evaluation of a French immersion program for students from the second through the fourth grade in Toronto. The aim of the second paper, written in French with an English summary, was to find the attitude dimensions of French Canadian primary school teachers and to discover the contents of those dimensions. The third paper, also in French, describes an experiment of computer assisted instruction for diabetic, insulin dependent patients. The fourth paper identifies problems experienced by first year university students of various ethnic backgrounds at the University of Fort Hare, South Africa. The final paper investigates relationships among locus of control, difficulties with social groups, and psycho-social difficulties in social situations. Current educational research being done by various international educators is chronicled, and information about current events of the World Association for Educational Research is presented. (JN)

Author

Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton. Curriculum Support Branch. and Wicke, Rainer E.

Abstract

A guide to the use of radio and telecommunications to promote international student communication describes a project in which teenagers from Cologne (West Germany) and Edmonton (Alberta) discuss their concerns via radio as well as provide descriptions of life in West Germany and Canada. Transcripts from two radio programs--one in English and one in German--illustrate the exchange of ideas on how to solve international problems such as pollution, international warfare, and starvation in the Third World, and discuss topics such as lifestyles, school, leisure time, and hopes for the future. Other materials included are photographs of the students and production staff, teaching tips, worksheets, and newspaper articles about the project. The materials are suggested for use in German language teaching, social studies instruction, and promotion of German language study. (MSE)
