 | | | | | | The Nook in the Stream December 20th, 2001. The city of Buenos Aires. A decade of unbridled financial speculation has dramatically come to an end. The nook in the stream follows the stories of three characters on that historic day through a documentary film script. Meanwhile, four individuals experience the end of the Argentine Menem years from the perspective of unlimited and accelerated nightlife. As a result, worlds collide through economic crisis. This is a story that has never been told before, that takes place over a 10 year time scale, and explores the reality of global capitalist collapse with devastating... | | | LANGUAGE-AS-VICTORY: A STUDY OF GAMING LITERACY PRACTICES IN SECOND-LANGUAGE CONTEXTS In today's language ecologies, the physical and virtual weave in very creative ways. In the case of today's videogames, they are more complex than they used to be, involving more intricate processes to master them and thrive in them. Due to the influence of English in diverse social and cultural spaces, digital environments find common ground with mainstream language. This paper discusses the findings of a study that explores how gamers use English, as an influential language practice for their success in the gaming experience. Our findings show how English appears in gaming communities as... | | | A Brief History of Linguistic Perspectives in Qualitative Research in Education 4539 Over the past six decades qualitative researchers in education, grounded in developments in linguistics, have contributed to systematic empirical qualitative approaches to studying what is accomplished in and through language in use in educational settings.

Drawing from an ethnographic approach, the research team walked the city, using a series of routes (advertising, restaurants, malls/bookshops/libraries) and collecting images and interviews as data sources. Our findings keep showing that people have turned English (and other languages) as valuable communicative resources where commentary, transgression, and creativity are the norm. We have learned that English and other second languages are not interfering... | | | Our Brains Are Wired for Morality: Evolution, Development, and Neuroscience Psychological and neuroscience research both tell us that morality, our mental ability to tell right from wrong in our behaviors and the behaviors of others, is a product of evolution. Morality has been passed on through the course of evolution because it helps us to live in large social groups by enhancing our ability to get along and interact with others. "Building blocks" of morality, such as sensing fairness, experiencing empathy, and judging others' harmful and helpful actions, can be observed in infancy, before a child's social environment would be able to have a strong influence.... | | | Teaching in the Connected Learning Classroom This volume highlights compelling firsthand counter-narratives from educators engaged in solving an array of challenges in today's classrooms. It draws together narratives from an inspiring group of educators within the National Writing Project—a collaborative network of instructors dedicated to enhancing student learning and effecting positive change—that contributes to our understanding of what "Digital Is" (DI).
