¿Es o no conveniente el desarrollo de temas en clase? Este manual responde positivamente: saber llevar a término un texto complejo, como un ensayo o incluso un examen, debe ser una justa ambición en cualquier sistema de docencia. El problema estriba en la preparacion. Un buen texto se suele considerar como el fruto de unas ciertas dotes innatas y de la inspiracion. Este libro, dirigido tanto a los profesores como a los alumnos, intenta demostrar que un buen escrito es tambien el resultado de algunas operaciones elementales que pueden adquirirse. La primera parte, la que se refiere al estudiante, sigue un tema a traves de todas sus fases de realizacion: la planificacion, la recogida de ideas, la organizacion de las mismas, la confeccion del esquema, la redaccion del borrador, la revision y la redaccion definitiva. La segunda parte, la que se refiere al profesor, muestra como evaluar, corregir y valorar, ademas de reseñar algunos titulos de temas y ofrecer metodos practicos para todas esas actividades. La tercera parte esta dirigida a los que se interesan, en la medida que sea, por la didactica de la composicion, incluyendo un curriculum sobre la escritura y metodos de realizacion de los escritos propedeuticos y complementarios del tema-ensayo: el resumen, los apuntes, el relato, la investigacion y la poesia

In her groundbreaking and innovative study, the author takes us on a fascinating journey through some of Madrid''s multilingual and multicultural schools and reveals the role played by linguistic practices in the construction of inequality through such processes as what she calls "de-capitalization" and "ethnicization". Through a critical sociolinguistic and discourse analysis of the data collected in an ethnographic study, the book shows the exclusion caused by monolingualizing tendencies and ideologies of deficit in education and society.The book opens a timely discussion of the management of diversity in multilingual and multicultural classrooms, both for countries with a long tradition of migration flows and for those where the phenomenon is relatively new, as is the case in Spain. This study of linguistic practices in the classroom makes clear the need to rethink some key linguistic concepts, such as practice, competence, discourse, and language, and to integrate different approaches in qualitative research.The volume is essential reading for students and researchers working in sociolinguistics, education and related areas, as well as for all teachers and social workers who deal with the increasing heterogeneity of our late modern societies in their work.

Learners complain that they do not get enough feedback, and educators resent that although they put considerable time into generating feedback, students take little notice of it. Both parties agree that it is very important.Feedback in Higher and Professional Education explores what needs to be done to make feedback more effective. It examines the problem of feedback and suggests that there is a lack of clarity and shared meaning about what it is and what constitutes doing it well. It argues that new ways of thinking about feedback are needed.There has been considerable development in research on feedback in recent years, but surprisingly little awareness of what needs to be done to improve it and good ideas are not translated into action. The book provides a multi-disciplinary and international account of the role of feedback in higher and professional education. It challenges three conventional assumptions about feedback in learning:- That feedback constitutes one-way flow of information from a knowledgeable person to a less knowledgeable person.- That the job of feedback is complete with the imparting of performance-related information.- That a generic model of best-practice feedback can be applied to all learners and all learning situationsIt seeking a new approach to feedback, it proposes that it is necessary to recognise that learners need to be much more actively involved in seeking, generating and using feedback. Rather than it being something they are subjected to, it must be an activity that they drive.
