Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is two-fold. Firstly, to probe the social positioning of 14-15 year old Northern Irish teenagers within an adult-centred society, utilising underage alcohol consumption as a window into exploring this issue. Secondly, this thesis seeks to demonstrate the utility of adopting a Goffinanian theoretical perspective when analysing "childhood" and "youth" - an approach which offers an integrative framework encompassing the interrelationship of the self, social structures, emotions, resistance and agency. The research design is qualitative, drawing upon written exercises, p

Abstract:
The transition into adulthood has been identified as a key life event for people with learning disabilities, entailing the departure of services which are well known and entry into unfamiliar systems. Social support has been conceived as having a stress buffering role. It has also been contended that social support is itself important to the mental health of people. It was hypothesised that the role of social support in the transition period would be important, particularly as the transition process itself may change the structure of the support network around the individual.

The thesis describes an investigation into Chinese adult learners’ learning experiences through case studies of two e-learning programmes conducted in China that were significantly different from each other in their original design.

The interactions between individual learners and their e-learning environments combined with their wider social cultural contexts, as manifested in their e-learning experiences are examined mainly through the lens of learners’ reflexivity.

Abstract:
When considering print-to-sound word reading, orthography and phonology are obviously involved. However, another system, that of semantic memory, might also be involved in orthography-to-phonology computation. Whether this occurs is debated in the literature both in the interpretation of behavioural results (e.g., Monaghan & Ellis, 2002; Strain et al., 1995) and in the implementation of semantic memory within computational models of word reading (Coltheart et al., 2001; Plaut et al., 1996). The central aim of this thesis was to investigate whether there is a semantic contribution to orthograph
