allow a room for mistakes and they categorize people based on their achievements in exams. There is nothing like potentials, creativeness, possibilities or even 2nd chances. Families put high expectations on academic achievements and they always compare their kids with other's kids. A minority in each community will be really dedicated to help their kids explore their horizons. It is true that we should re-think the fundamental principles in which we educate our children. Our task is to educate the children so that they can face this future. II 10 effective classroom management techniques. 1. Set and agree the house rules and class regulations with the class. 2.

Realise that people learn in different ways 6
UNIVERSITY OF TARTU DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Using Blogs as a Platform in the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language Research paper Tartu 2010 ABSTRACT This work analyses the usefulness of blogging in teaching English as a foreign language. The definition of the term `blog' is provided along with the advantages and disadvantages of blogs' usage in practice. The analysis of language skills developed by students throughout the use of blogs for learning purposes is given in the paper with possible limitations that blogs have. Author of this paper also shares personal comments about the experience in the field. In this paper it is also described which research methods are planned to be employed for the conduction of research project. 2 ABSTRACT..............................
the same construct as that being evaluated by human raters. Page, Keith, & LaVoie (1995) examined the construct validity of AES, Keith (2003) summarized several discriminant and true score validity studies of the technology, and Attali & Burstein (2006) demonstrated the relationship between AES and instructional activities associated with writing. AES is not without its detractors. Ericcson & Haswell (2006) performed a comprehensive critique of the technology from the perspective of those who teach postsecondary writing. Objections to the technology ranged from a concern about the ethics of using computers rather than humans to teach writing to the lack of synchronicity between how human graders approach the rating task and the process by which AES evaluates a writing sample to failed implementations of AES in university placement 5 testing programs. And clearly there are certain types of stylized text writing that AES
1 What the national education system is and how it is managed depends on the ideology already embraced by society and the ability to make professional (informed) decisions. (Pelisaar, Läänemets, 2008) In my opinion main education problems or reason for change in Estonia are compulsory education vs. voluntary education, school governance problems, decline in the popularity of the teaching profession, dropouts from schools, development of rational thinking, integrated active learning vs. passive learning methods, competitiveness- logically in a small country there are less people than in big country. That means- more people, less spots for university grants and that means high competitiveness. In Estonia almost everyone can go to the university, and that’s bad, that’s why we procrastinate, because
• Try the practical ideas and reflect on how these techniques affect the processes of learning and teaching in your classroom. • Discuss different approaches with learners in order to understand their preferences and needs, and to find out what approaches are most helpful to them.

PSYCHOLOGY PART 1: CORE Biological level of analysis Outline principles that define the biological level of analysis. 1) Behavior can be innate, because it is genetically based. Evolution may play a key role in behavior. 2) Animals may be studied as a means of understanding human behavior. 3) There are biological correlates of behavior. Cognitions, emotions and behaviors are products of the anatomy and physiology of our nervous and endocrine system. Explain how principles of the biological level of analysis may be demonstrated in research. 1) Correlational studies: Study by Buss, who hypothesized that across cultures, men will prefer to marry younger women because of greater reproductive capacity and women will place greater value on a potential mate's earning potential to provide survival advantages. This evolutionary hypothesis was tested in 37 cultures by sending out questioners.
features (concentrated in Europe, rare outside of Europe) and some other possible common features. Examples: Definite and indefinite articles, e.g., a book vs. the book Relative clauses with relative pronouns, e.g., I woke up a student who had nodded off ‘have’-perfect, e.g., has done Nominative experiencers, e.g., I like, I need Participial passive, e.g., you are invited Particles in comparative constructions, e.g. She is older than me 2. Is Estonian a typical SAE language? Why do you think so? SAE in Estonian: Relative clauses with relative pronouns, e.g., raamat, mida ma lugesin ‘the book that I read’ Comparative construction with the particle kui ‘than’, e.g., suurem kui hiir ‘bigger than a mouse’. But cf. also Estonian hiirest (ELA) suurem ‘bigger than a mouse’, where the standard is marked with the elative case! Finnish isompi kuin hiiri ~ hiirtä (PRT) isompi ‘bigger than a mouse’
