The Role of Practicum in TESOL Education: Integrating Theory and Practice for Effective Language Teaching Development
BACKGROUND In the field of teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL), the teaching practicum is usually a pivotal component of TESOL preparation programs. It provides an opportunity for both pre- and in-service teachers to develop and refine their knowledge, skills, and dispositions in real classroom settings, while also shaping their sense of efficacy to better serve English learners (ELs) (Faez & Valeo, 2012; Richards & Crookes, 1988; Santos, Olsher, & Abeywickrama, 2015).

Letter: Hybrid vehicles are the answer
As a 76-year-old who has driven gas-powered vehicles my whole life, I am frustrated that our national and state governments think they know the answer to eliminating fossil fuel from vehicular transportation and commercial use. Their answer to this problem is to go all electric. Nonsense!We have the answer right under our nose and that is for consumers to drive hybrids.
Disability workforce and the NDIS planning process in regional, rural and remote regions of Australia: Scoping review
Abstract Background The Australian geographically rural and remote disability workforce has historically demonstrated difficulties to keep up with the demand for quality services and supports for people with disability. In 2013, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was launched to provide individualised disability support packages to meet people's needs. To receive funding, people with disability are required to develop a NDIS plan.
Letter: Perez’s language inappropriate
It appears that our 3rd Congressional District Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez has shown her true colors. I am shocked and appalled at the chosen words of this woman used in an interview (“Perez just may be Dems’ savior,” The Columbian, April 23). If she wants to use this kind of language in a personal or private conversation, then so be it. But to even have Mr. Jayne seem to be surprised and caught off guard says a lot.

Album Review: Hamad Kalkaba and The Golden Sounds 1974 -1975 [Analog Africa; December 2017]
Following on from 2017’s hotly received Pop Makossa collection, Analog Africa label head Samy Ben Redjeb has dug even deeper into Cameroon’s dusty vinyl vaults and unearthed the lost recordings of Hamad Kalkaba. Kalkaba was a gifted young musician who rose to become chief of the Republican Guard’s Orchestra, but later retired from music – devoting himself to a military career, achieving the rank of Colonel before becoming the President of the Confederation of African Athletics.
Album Review: Mista Savona - Havana Meets Kingston [Baco Records; 3rd November 2017]
Australian beatmaker and DJ, Jake Savona’s latest album Havana Meets Kingston seeks to unite two powerful and distinct musical islands with a wealth of Cuban and Jamaican guests and collaborators. Don’t expect a seamless hybrid of styles – the tracks fall roughly into either Latin or reggae – it’s not quite the collection of melded styles that the title may suggest. VIDEO That being the case, it’s still an accomplished album, showing Savona at the top of his production game.
Album Review: Bomba Estéreo - Ayo [Sony Music Latin]
The electro-tropical party machine Bomba Estéreo are back with their fifth album Ayo – their first for major label Sony. It’s concise, clocking in at 34 minutes. Clubby tracks – such as “Money, Money, Money” with its squelchy acid bass, pitched vocals and compressed electronic beats show a confident swagger primed for a commercial dancefloor assault.

What happens after prison depends on how we help inmates to succeed
We must come up with a good program to put men and women into a position to reenter society after their prison sentences (because let’s face the truth, with a few exceptions, everyone has a release date). When this date comes, do we: Now, in order to construct a true re-entry program, it has to start with the courts, and in conjunction with the men and women that court affects. The courts should know what they need to see in a prisoner in order to not have to see them again.
Prison Op/Ed Project: Education, job skills, and a place to live
With the exception of the intake facility, about 50 people are released from prison every month here in Rhode Island. Of those, at some point at least 30 of them recidivate (that means they go back to prison). This is because our reentry programs are insufficient. To truly reintegrate former inmates back into society, and also cut down on recidivism, let’s first put people in a situation to flourish and not fail.

Historically, early adopters of cloud technology have experienced challenges as they transitioned from simple virtualization technologies to embrace cloud services - all while maintaining their legacy data center environment. As these early adopters added cloud capabilities and cloud service providers, they discovered that each contract, service, and service provider had its own set of processes, tools, and people. They all had different portals or mechanisms for users to request IT services.
