Abstract:
The need for descriptors of language proficiency for first levels in migration contexts has become apparent. Specifically, yet not exclusively, focused on illiterate and low educated adults, Italiano L2 in contesti migratori. Sillabo e descrittori dall'alfabetizzazione all'A1 sets standards and recommends criteria for teaching both literacy and L2. It endorses the Common European Framework of Reference approach, especially the notion of language communicative competence as a multidimensional competence and a part of a more general action competence. It is coherent with an approach to l

This study examines the relationship between individuals’ beliefs about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and levels of anxiety with respect to their technology readiness level. In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed 65 students at a southwestern US college. Using partial least squares analysis, we found that technology readiness contributors were significantly and positively related to only one AI anxiety factor: socio-technical illiteracy. In contrast, all four links between technology readiness inhibitors and AI anxiety factors were significant with medium effect sizes. Technology readiness

The demands placed upon Adult Basic Education programs in the United States are more rigorous and involve more people than ever before in our history. Government-supported programs as well as private ones capture in microcosm the best and worst in American education. Literacy education is modeled along a continuum moving from a technical conception of literacy, wherein students mark progress by numbers of completed worksheets, to a conception of literacy as praxis, or critical literacy, wherein students construct meaning for themselves and effect change in their lives. These competing models a

The highest dense category consists of jokes about students' non-seriousness toward their online lectures. There are serious discipline issues and distractions.

Abstract The previous two chapters were concerned with the broad contours of scribes’ identities and status in the Graeco-Roman world. We saw that scribes in this period defy scholarly attempts to categorize scribes and to generalize about a “scribal class”; while scribes are concentrated in the slave and lower classes, they are also found in higher classes. Their tasks are not easily defined or classified, since many scribes - especially private scribes - seem to have often been multifunctional, crossing the lines of administrative and literary work with some frequency.
